Skirting the Issue

My Potting Shed is a work in progress~

with just a couple of big details left to finish

and lots of small details to keep me busy

as I continue to transplant and prune :)

You can see how she’s grown here.

After dressing my windows with a roll of  landscape burlap from Lowe’s, I was on the hunt for something to topdress :) my work surface/countertops, along with fabric to skirt my work benches to conceal the storage area underneath.

My work areas are approximately

4 feet x 2 feet.

I wanted a work surface that would be functional, easy to clean, economical, and not look too finished.

I found a sheet metal shop that does HVAC duct work to cover my plywood counters with galvanized sheet metal and attach a back splash.

The total for two four-foot, medium gauge galvanized counters with back splash, and soldered edges was $75~ and ready in a day!

We used construction adhesive to secure the counter tops in place.

I found cafe curtains from Country Curtains ~ the ideal length and width for skirting my work benches.

Lucky for me, since I would rather plant or pot, than sew :)

And to conceal necessary but unsightly tools, potting soil, fertilizer, etc.

With a print complete with the

flowering charm of a cottage garden~

~that allows me to

enjoy the blooms!

 

Along with a little pink to accompany

 my grandmother’s chest gone to pot.

Thank you for your visit!
