DONE IN A DAY ~Rednesday~ Planter Side Table

~ Need a new Table? ~
I found this Fabulous "Done in a Day" Project at my local Lowe's store.
Isn't it a terrific idea?
You could whip it up in an afternoon!


My daughter is moving into a new apartment in a couple of weeks.
I am going to make a new table for her new place ~
~ in any color she would like!
Here is how you can make one too.

STEP-BY-STEP:

Step 1: Sand any rough edges on the round wooden pine panel and wipe clean.
Prime the panel and allow to dry.

Step 2: Apply at least two coats of paint to the panel and the planters.  Allow to dry. 
Apply a coat of clear polyurethane to the panel and the planters.
For a glossier look, apply more coats.
Allow to dry.

Step 3: Join the planters (base to base) using Liquid Nails adhesive.
Center the panel on the upper planter...
and secure with same adhesive.

WE CAN DO THIS... RIGHT?
I know it has a $90 estimated cost but we can do it cheaper than that I am sure!

  1. Great idea!! I may try it for a little table on my back porch. I tried to link onto the Rednesday site, but it said it wasn't there.

  3. Yes...great idea and we can do it for a way better price...look out thrift stores.
    LOVE your paper cones. I remember making May Day baskets for the neighbors when I was in grade school. :) Happy memory.
    Warmly,
    Deb :)

  4. I just love your header. It's so cute!
    I think that great table can be done for much less! I once made a birdbath with a bunch of pots, using that basic concept. I bet your daughter will love it!
    Happy REDnesday!
