Plant Stand + Pizza Stone = Cute Side Table


I was outside looking through my own pile of rubbish the other day when I suddenly got an idea.  I saw my old pizza stone and a plant stand and I thought they would make a perfect little table if I attached the stone to the top of the plant stand.

Plant Stand

After painting them both a pale green, I attached the pizza stone to the top of the plant stand with E6000 glue.  Then, I traced the top of the table onto a pretty piece of paper from the art supply store.


I cut out the paper and decoupaged it onto the top with Mod Podge.  When it dried, I gave it two more coats of Mod Podge to seal and protect the surface.



I painted the entire thing with a coat of light brown glaze and rubbed it off with a rag to give it an aged look.


I love the birds, fancy scripts and stamps on this pretty paper.



This was such an inexpensive, easy project and I am happy that I was able to reuse two things I did not want anymore to make it.

This is really adorable. I love your creativity, in coming up with this. Nice choice of paper for the top too. I just recently re-did my dining table with some paper from the craft store in a vintage map style, so I can really appreciate this post.
