Iconic Tiffany Blue Potting Bench

March 12th, 2012

Iconic lines coupled with luxurious tiffany blue paint elevated a humble potting bench into a smartly designed piece of garden furniture.

“Quite literally, when I started building this potting bench I began with a pile of old lumber, a rough idea, and not much else,” said furniture designer Scott Phillips.  “I knew that I wanted something solid, sturdy, but with curvaceous, organic lines.”

Constructed from heavy timbers, this graceful potting bench is well-made, and designed to last a lifetime, if not longer.  It features an ample work surface, measuring nearly five feet wide and twenty inches deep, a spacious bottom storage shelf, and two upper shelves for storing things like planters, pots, and plant markers.  This stylish yet functional potting bench is nearly six feet tall, backed with chicken wire reclaimed from an old coup, and adorned with sand-casted iron fleur de lis hooks and embellishments.  The weathered chicken wire is perfectly suited for hanging often used gardening tools like trowels and potting soil scoops.

This heirloom-quality one of a kind potting bench would be equally at home in a garden, on a porch, or even proudly displayed in an eclectic home.  It is available for purchase at Finders Keepers, located at 120 N. 2nd Avenue in old town Pocatello, Idaho.
