she owns an antiques shop in Geneva, IL and gets the coolest stuff come by her door sometimes....there was a picker who came to her shop recently, and brought this bench....there are stenciled sunflowers that I tried to sand off, but I am going to paint over them with all this time I have this week....ha!
it compliments the area great, and holds my pots and some tender lavender plants
i really like how she's framed now

DeleteAnne Marie...what a beautiful farm you have ! It looks quite peaceful.
ReplyDeletethank you Tina! we love it here....not much noise except the kids, the birds and tractors working the fields
DeleteWhat a very lovely garden, Anne Marie! Your potted rosemarys look great. It looks like you like clay pots as I do. Hate the plastic stuff myself. Looove the gate!!
ReplyDeletedo you have a potting area?? (hint hint...would love to see yours)
DeleteAnne Marie, those gates are FABULOUS! Such an awesome repurpose! GREAT little potting bench too, what a treasure! I agree about the clay pots, I'm not into the plastic ones either, I think the plants look so classic in them!
ReplyDeletethanks Robyn!! clay pots are still made in Italy...and I love that part of it too...we do have a few others that I like that are artistic or old...
Deleteand you are so right about the classic look!!
I love everything about your bench!! Too cute!! :) Hope you have a lovely day! xo Holly
