    Such great ideas…love the concrete garden bench.
    I’m currently devising ways to incorporate random pieces in my garden too :)

    On HGTV, they showed the planter idea with the cinder blocks, only they used different concrete stains on each concrete block…super cool! Lovin’ the bench idea…may have to incorporate the bench with the planters on the side and the stain. Simple, cheap, and beautiful! Thanks for the ideas!
