Loving My New Patio Table!

Thank you for all of your wonderful comments! I really do read each and every comment. I am so fortunate to have such a great group of new friends. I am approaching my 3 month blogaversary and can't believe all of the wonderful comments and people that I have met.  I would have never of dreamed that I would have 97 followers! 

Ok, now on to the fun stuff! I have been waiting to share my new patio table with everybody.  This table had some major transformations done to it. I am so happy with how it turned out.  I have seen several websites and blogs that have made tables like this.  I don't know if you remember back in June when I bought this table for $5.00 at a yard sale?


I didn't like the legs on the table. I really wanted farm-style table legs. I was very patient and determined to find table legs. I found these table legs for $10.00 at a garage sale later on. 


I had my very sweet husband detach the old legs from the table and attach the farm-style legs. He had to screw in the legs from the top of the table.  You can hide the screws with wood filler.  We also added some gorilla glue in-between the legs and the table for some extra support.



I sanded and primed the table to make it easier to paint.


Now, on for the paint transformation.  I decided to paint the top of the table brown to make it look like it was stained.  I used flat, brown exterior paint for the top and painted the legs with the chowder color paint that I had left over from my patio.  The brown paint is the Color Place brand (from Wal-Mart) and cost aboout $7.00. 







Here is a picture of the table with the umbrella and place settings. 





Almost everything on this table came from a garage sale or the Dollar Store.  The bamboo placemats are from the Dollar Tree. There was a fabric border around them that did not match my color scheme.  I took a seam ripper and took the fabric off of the placemats.  Aww, I think it looks much better now!



Do you remember my whale napkin holders?  The napkins are really kitchen towels from the Dollar Tree. I think they look like the real thing! I am going to have to go back and buy some white kitchen towels, too. I can't wait until we have our next barbeque so I can show off my new table!  I hope you have enjoyed this transformation as much as I have.

  6. I remember the post with the black legs...wow that was great thinking. This looks like a very expensive table. The whole area lends itself to a high end backyard, with your painted cement tiles (love that) and your Dollar tree accessories. I love achieving the high end look without the high end pricetags. I live in NJ and didnt realize that Walmart sells paint..Ive purchased spray paint there. Wow 7.00 is a great deal.

  7. Wow! That turned out awesome! It looks so expensive sitting out there. The placemats really pull it together, too! Very thrifty!

    Congrats on the followers. I am with you. I never thought that after three months I would have a hundred people interested in what I am doing. Everyone has been so nice and encouraging!

  8. What a wonderful transformation. Loving the idea of the dollar tree napkins. I love dollar tree for accessories. When combined with classy items and thrift buys they look so elegant.

  9. This looks so great, I need to do this. My table blew off our deck during a horrible storm and broke the glass. Too expensive to replace! Thanks for the idea and thanks for finding me so I could find you! Great blog, I'm a new follower!

  27. I’ve been browsing online greater than three hours lately, but I by no means found any attention-grabbing article like yours. It's beautiful price enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you probably did, the internet can be a lot more useful than ever before.Apna Time Bhi Aayega Video Episode
