Make your own Patio Tables

I made two of these large pots into side tables for my patio.

Come along with me and I'll show you how. :)

I found these large French Anduze style pots at a local nursery, but I wasn't crazy about the color.

I primed them and then spray painted them Heirloom White.

I then used glaze and some brown paint to give them an aged look.

I bought  pre-made round table tops at a home improvement store. My dad cut two circles out of wood to fit the inside of the tops of the pots. My dad then screwed the pieces together for me.

I then stained the tops and coated them with poly. They are on a covered patio so they don't get rained on. They do get dusty because it's windy and dusty here in the desert.

The stain I used is walnut Minwax.

Besides the tables looking looking cute.......

.............they are also good for storage.

I can just lift up the lid and pop stuff inside.

This was a very simple project. Thanks to my dad for cutting the wood for me!
