A few weeks ago I was out garage-saling and found these two barrels for $1 each. Of course I snatched them up! The girl asked what I had planned for them? I told her I wasn't sure, but figured that I could use them out in my yard to hold plants, or turn them over to set plants on top... I then realized that they could work as little end tables in the house.
I started by sanding them.
I applied a coat of Pre-Stain.
I stained them with Minwax Provincial.
I'm very happy with the dark color.
I put this wire cloche and birds' nest on top of one of them and it's done. Not a bad table for $1. Now I have to find a place for the other one.
Thanks for your visit!

Pam those are the most wonderful "side" tables I have ever seen!

ReplyDeleteGreat little project, Pam!
ReplyDeleteLove your find! Have fun with them.
ReplyDeleteThat is just so wonderful Pam! Looks like something you would see in the PB catalog and definitely for a lot more than $1. :-) Thanks so much for sharing it with us at Inspiration Friday this week!

Your barrel tables are wonderful side tables. And you got such a good deal on them. I'm sure you'll find many ways to use them.
