Front Entry Doubling as Miniature Greenhouse [View all]

I decided to turn my front entryway into a little greenhouse. Basically, all I did was put up shelving. This is a terrific place to start seeds and harden off plants I've purchased from the nursery.

In all, there are seven shelves, with potential for more. Nobody ever uses the front entryway, so I can bring in large pots at night and put them on the floor until the nights get warmer.

All I did was go buy some boards, cut them to size, and paint them white. The brackets for shelving have been there for a long time, but haven't been used. I think the grand total in terms of time and money was something like $3!
