Stump Side Tables
Did y'all know that goose egg to a greater extent than than a tree stump tin bathroom last an intersting too functional add-on to your decor?
Some pick out wheels added...
Painted or natural...
This 1 sells for $199 at West Elm. Ahheeemmm! Yikes!
Bark or stripped bare...(yes, pun intended! Haha.)
I couldn't resist!
After originally seeing this stump side tabular array that The Nester made, I was inspired to brand my own.
I kept an oculus out curbside for stumps existence thrown out, but I never saw anything that I wouldn't pick out to trim. So, nosotros went to the forest lot where nosotros purchase our firewood too the guy was willing to allow me expect through the pile that hadn't been separate yet. I chose two that were almost the same size (about 15" tall). They had some vines too such growing on them but I sorta liked the graphic symbol that added. Left them on for now.
After bringing the stumps dwelling nosotros rinsed them off too sprayed them amongst põrnikas spray too allow them sit down for a few days. Then, I washed them off 1 time to a greater extent than but because I didn't desire whatever pesticide remainder on them.
I wanted casters on them to add together a petty height, but equally good these things are HEAVY! The rollers pick out been invaluable when I ask to motion them around for cleaning or whatever.
I similar the expect of the bark left on, hence all I did was sand the come about a flake too rubbed three coats of glue wax on. I wanted it to repel H2O a flake inwards example a drinkable leaked on it or something. The darker part inwards the painting demo is where I had but applied the wax, but equally it dried the forest went dorsum to the master color. I didn't process the bark at all, hence we'll but pick out to run across how that turns out equally it ages too dries out. I may strip it all off some solar daytime if it starts to autumn off.
And, the finished product!
These are hence handy too are the perfect location for the remote too a drinkable piece watching tv. In a pinch they fifty-fifty piece of work equally extra seating. I'm non certain what nosotros did without them!
**Updated to add: Warning! A reader informed me that those large hairy vines are most probable toxicant ivy too tin bathroom notwithstanding last harmful fifty-fifty if the vine is dried out. I haven't had a occupation amongst ours, but would loathe for anyone to pick out a reaction if y'all come upwardly across something similar this. Proceed amongst caution!**
We paid the forest lot guy $5 for both stumps (I don't fifty-fifty hollo upwardly he wanted that much!) too the casters were almost $6 for two at Home Depot. I hollo upwardly less than $30 was a cracking investment for this project!
