Mindi is a wife, mother, runner, dancer, and a lover of all things fun and DIY.
A few years ago she discovered blogs and fell in love with the idea that she could do things she had always dreamed of doing. Like build furniture from pallets, and make cool projects for her home.... Mindi was inspired by other bloggers that empowered her to create.
Mindi decided to give back and possibly reach someone out there that has a desire to create like herself. She believes we all have that desire in some form or another, and we all DO create in our own way, every day. Whether it be crafty or not, even creating happiness in others is a gift that many share.
Mindi loves to learn and use that knowledge to make beautiful and useful things for her home.

Looks great. It would be a nice addition to a kitchen laptop or tablet, basket for catching keys, cells, hang basket from shutters for all incoming mail. Anyway just a thought, I seem I always have to make it different but I don't love what you did with it.

THIS IS TRULY AWESOME - I CAN SEE USING IT FOR A BEVERAGE STATION IN A KITCHEN, OR AS A LITTLE VANITY IN A BEDROOM - COULD HAVE MANY USES. YOU HAVE INSPIRED ME. I HAVE AN OLD VANITY TABLE, AND SOME SHUTTERS TOO - GUESS I KNOW WHAT MY NEXT PROJECT WILL BE. THANKS FOR YOUR GOOD TUTORIAL AND CREATIVE SPIRIT.

Mindi,
I love your new potting bench. Potting benches are so versatile these days. They are great for outdoor entertaining as well as potting flowers.
My favorite part is the two toned look with the stained wood. Loving the shelves, and the top frame of the shutters. It really pulls it all together. A perfect marriage of shutters and a desk!
