From broken and rusty to fun and purposeful!
Who loves Pinterest? And all the amazing ideas?! I have well over 1,000 pins on my board! Lol I do try to take action on my pins though!
This is the most recent Pinterest inspired idea come to fruit. An old BBQ that was on its last leg last Summer was pulled out to get used this summer and I discovered the elements were completed rusted through and the pan had big rusted holes. I was able to buy a new one for $50 more than repairs... with a warranty! So now what?! Pay to haul this thing off property? Another item in the landfill? Ugh. Not this time!
BBQ turned potting station! I love it! It holds about 2.5 cu.ft. In soil that I am able mix to my liking without breaking my back and it looks oh so cute sitting out in the garden!
Show off your repurposed appliances! My next one will be a washing machine turned fire pit!

@herbantherapy There are always free junk barbecues posted to give away. Interesting.
What did you do with the burner sides? I see that the one still has a lid (behind the blue potted kettle).
Also, did you plug the lighter/breathing holes with something?
Any tips?

Clever and very cute. Well done!

@Laurie I use the side with the lid as a greenhouse to start herbs in the spring. The other side is just a table area to set things. I did not plug holes. I put landscape fabric over the bottom and left holes for any drainage necessary.

Never thought of that, very and very clever.
