Flower Bed

Pretty Handy Girl isn't joking when she calls herself pretty handy, huh?  Brittany, a fellow North Carolinian, whips up gorgeous upcycled concoctions left and right, complete with easy to follow directions. 

Her recent bed-turned-bench reminded me of my own want for a bench to place by our fish pond. One unfortunate fact has kept me from investing in a bench: people steal our stuff out of our backyard. But a bench out of a bed? That's right up my alley, especially since I have a nearly identical bed (painted a nearly identical color!) functioning as a plant border in my backyard right now. It seems fated I make one, doesn't it?

Full instructions and lots more inspiration here .

Renee Garner has a passion to make things grow, although her brownish thumb wants her to believe otherwise. When mud pies aren't on the menu, you can find her doodling the days away at Wolfie and the Sneak.

People steal stuff out of your backyard? Ye gods!

But that bench is lovely.

Love the purple bed/bench--so well done. Also--thanks for the detailed living wall instructions. I have made succulent wreaths and am going to make the hanging wall next. Thanks!
