Hoosier Potting Bench

This is the first Hoosier that H and I bought.  It was just the top and H built a bottom for it.  I thought it might be cute to use as a potting bench on the front porch.
This is second one that we bought and I use it in the kitchen..
So now I have a little corner on the porch to store flowers until we get them planted...


I use the flower sifter to hold potpourri ......and the area below it for moss...



I store my gloves and garden ribbon in the hoosier...

Lots of pots waiting to be filled with flowers...

I made this fairy garden  to sit on the coffee table...



Thanks for stopping by...have a wonderful day!

    Wow that is so sweet. I especially like the flour sifter with the pot pouring and the moss below. That's a very nice affect. I always adore fairy gardens- so precious. Your spiral topiaries look awesome with your wicker setting. Looks like a very relaxing spot.

    Popped over from Embracing Change....Totally brilliant to use the Hoosier as a potting bench...and to paint it white against a white house. Kudos!

    Penny, I love it as a potting bench! I have a hoosier that has been stored at our previous home. I will be bringing it home for my farmhouse basement kitchen. It is now oak, but I was planning on painting it white. Love yours! Thanks for sharing it with SYC.

    Well done! Love this! I got so close to purchasing a Hoozier cabinet - for $20 years back. I was just behind someone who snatched it! The previous owners left the house full of furniture - the new owners had no idea what they had and were selling everything very cheep! I will be featuring your post this week in my Home and Garden Party, I appreciate you sharing,
