When we moved out of our last apartment, we left behind a few items that we were too lazy to load on to the truck. Yeah, we know...very poor form. But we also left behind some crazy crafty roommates. We were invited over last night for an impromptu dinner and got a sneak peek at the latest backyard project.
Our ex-roomie is the reigning queen of clever and her latest endeavor is a budding vegetable garden housed in our discarded furnishings. She sawed a large gardening bench in two (it had seen better days) and attached a box to the top of the bottom half. The leftover top section become an outdoor side table.
We took a few more pictures of the backyard-patio-gone-renegade-vegetable-garden 'cause it's looking so purdy these days....

Brilliant! I am moving into a larger rental next month and will finally have a little yard of my own! I have been looking at the flea market and garage sales in the area for containers that I can take home and turn into garden beds... what a treat to see what was done here.

i love the idea of using old things for veggie gardens, and this is a great example of how cool it can look! :)

Awesome! The garden looks so pretty. I love how she lined the other planter box (with bigger gaps between slats) with burlap so the soil is stays inside. Love her creativity!
