I love upcycling....giving
something a second or third life is great.
But it is not often I get to give something a fourth life. Such is the case with this piece of
iron.. It started out as a headboard and
then for a while it was the back to a bench in the garden at the farm and next
it became part of a gate in the sheep pasture.
I couldn't resist moving it along to the new house...not sure what it
would become here but it is now the decorative back to my much loved and much used
potting bench.
I have always had some type of potting area. I love to take cuttings, do divisions, and nurse along small plants, The area by the garage (about 12' x 12') has evelolved into my "work" area and the star feature is this potting bench... The shelves are wire closet shelving from a thrift store. During the summer I used it almost every day and the piece of iron gives it an elegant old world touch.

There's always something about old iron pieces that is quite beautiful. I'm glad you have saved, and enjoyed, that piece and have managed to find multiple uses for it.
Welcome back! You have been missed.
