I'm looking for plans for a small greenhouse/cold frame, something like this, about 3 ft. deep, 6 ft. wide, tall enough to serve as a potting bench when not being used for seedlings.

Cool looking and easy to build . You know basically the size you want already, so make the frame that size then cover with what you want . For the potting bench walk up to your table or kitchen counter and see what you like for a working surface , measure with a tape and make your bench that height

I would add a solar-powered opener. If you want to cut costs, buy some 6-mil greenhouse poly and use that in place of glass. It's not as pretty, but it's much cheaper and easier.

I have good luck shopping at the Greenhouse Megastore. They have a nice selection of kits that might give you some ideas: Greenhouse Kits
