Patio Potplant Table

With A Blast: Patio Potplant Table (unusual but fun!)

I had such a busy day today with finishing up gifts for my mother-in-law for Mother’s Day as well as a hamper for her and my sister-in-law as they are now more or less settled in their new apartment.
Fortunately, Roy asked for slow-cooker Oxtail yesterday, so that was in the cooker doing it’s own thing all day, leaving me with some extra time to start some new crafts and finishing up others.
One of the projects I {with Roy’s help, bless him!} managed to start and finish today.  This was a real quick craft and if you have everything on hand, you can make one within an hour or two.  I had seen something similar on the BHG website recently and it stuck in my head.
Cheri, threw out an ordinary round wooden table with a loose glass top {which of course, I kept} and among the stuff my sister-in-law got rid off the other day, were 2 bar stools, old, awful color but still very sturdy.
To make this table we used the following:
– the round glass top of the table Cheri threw out
– old metal {thin pipe-like} which we had leftover from another project we did .. post still to follow
– a largish potplant {our pot had a plant in, which we removed and swapped for different plants}
– Marine silicone sealant

We removed the plant – made three holes and stuck the metal pieces through – Roy joined the pieces on top with some screws  {see next photo}

Above you can see how he fixed the three pieces together with screws as well as the {still wet here} Marine silicone sealant – we wiped away the excess silicone, just before it dried rock hard

We painted and slightly sanded the plant pot and you can see here that when the pot is filled, the legs are very sturdy

We sanded the bar stools as well and gave it a light Orange spray {which I am not sure I like … – might change the color}

And this is what we ended up with !  The table is higher than the one I had seen on BHG and that is why the bar stools are perfect {…just not happy with the Orange …}
I wanted to finish the small night stand, which I started a week or two ago, today, but time ran out, and tomorrow we won’t be here for most of the day … ugh, I need to clear some space  {only for me to get more fun stuff to practice my newly found painting/crafting/re-purposing ….}
Happy Mother’s Day to all and I hope you have a lovely day !  {any Dad’s reading this – next month is your month !}
