I am so excited that the weather went from 112 degrees to 99 degrees in a matter of days. That caused me to look outside and think oh no I better get this yard in shape and that means WORK!
I have a to do list or want list that is a mile long, one of the items on my list happens to be planter box bench seats. I have a rather long covered porch that I love in the back yard. It needs some seating. So bench hunting I went.
I am fairly handy but not ready to cut and create bench seating. Of course I wanted to make sure to find seating that was eco-friendly and would be functional.
These little beauties make me so completely happy. They are like little bits of art and color plus eco-friendly because they are made from 100% recycled plastics.....HALLELUJAH HALLELUJAH! You can find them at Pure Modern. I love the idea of adding color to my back yard with the furniture. Plus it is functional because it increases seating for when I have some BBQ's or backyard parties and it will give me more options for planting some flowers or more delicate plants I do not want the dogs trampling.
This beautiful eucalyptus planter bench is another option I am thinking of going. If I want color I could opt to paint the bench. One of the reasons I selected eucalyptus is it is eco-friendly due to its fast growing cycle; you could also choose cedar which is a great option too. Of course bamboo would be fantastic and hardy as well. You can find these benches online and in most garden stores.
Well I guess you will just have to wait a few more weeks for the out come of my decision. Hint: I am seriously leaning towards the recycled infinity bench planter seats.
So excited to get started on my garden, my yard and I might even paint/stain my brick wall!!!!
