No-build upcycled vintage desk garden station DIY
Transform a vintage desk into a charming garden station with this easy no-build DIY!
Supplies:
- smaller desk with drawers to the top and sides
- reclaimed wood
- self-standing half shelving unit
- half plant pot hanging from rope
- small metal garbage can
- plastic weed bucket that fits inside can
- plastic closing containers with clear lids
- shallow white plastic tray
- hand garden tools
- Olympic Waterguard in clear
- wood toned drawer knobs
Instructions:
- Clean dresser well, then weather-protect the inside of the drawers. Paint dresser if desired.
- Cut then screw on some wood planks to the top of the dresser.
- To coordinate with the wood top, screw on some wood toned drawer knobs.
- Place a self standing shelving unit on top of the dresser, pushing to one side.
- Fill the drawers with gardening gear placed inside plastic containers with clear lids.
- Place a garbage can in the desk opening, lining it with a lightweight weed bucket.
- Hang a half bucket from rope on the side of the dresser for garbage.
- Protect all exposed wood with some kind of weather protectant for longevity. Painting the dresser in an outdoor durable paint will also greatly help!
- Position the dresser under some kind of weather protected cover. If completely outdoors, I suggest using a metal filing cabinet instead, as exposed wood will rot quicker.
