Our old house had this fantastic front porch, but our new one does not have a front porch at all. We do have a pretty amazing back porch.
Well, at least it could be amazing if we would clean it up. And paint it. And put the ladder away. Truthfully, we are currently working on it.
For instance, I wanted a cute side table for the rocking chairs but I really couldn’t find what I wanted. I also didn’t really want to spend money for anything new. So I did what I always do. I decided to use something i already had on hand- a flower pot and a wood circle.
I decided if I made these things into a little side table, I could store pillows under the wood slice in the flower pot. So I grabbed a can of stain in my favorite finish.
And I got to work.
Two coats later, I had this:
Our porch still has a long way to go, but I do really like how this works. I got a cute little storage table for less than $50 and I found a new use for things I already had.
Be prepared for some more quick and easy projects soon!
