DIY Project: Upcycled Hallway Console

How they did it:

Buy tables at a yard or garage sale, thrift store, Goodwill, off Craigslist or scavenge from a friend or family member.

1. Removed the drawer handles, lightly sanded all surfaces with sandpaper, and wiped with a damp cloth.

2. Applied one coat of primer and three coats of Benjamin Moore’s high-gloss Bunny Gray paint (2124-50), letting it dry between coats.

3. Painted the tabletops with a chevron pattern (or create your own design) using a stencil created from 1- and 2-in.-wide painter’s tape, applying two coats of high-gloss white paint (2-oz. sample jar).

4. Replaced the handles.

Time: 1 weekend

Cost: $38 for primer and paint

DIY Project: Personalized Ikea End Tables

Personalized end tables on the cheap? Yes, please. These LACK tables were originally from Ikea, purchased used on Craigslist, personalized with the floral design and presto, change-o...DIY designer tables!

I'm thinking: save time and effort by using vinyl decals, easily sourced on Etsy.

Steal this idea--DIY instructions found on the Craft Nest blog right HERE.

Garden Inspiration: Urn Table

Root succulents in an 18-inch-diameter urn filled to 6 1/2 inches below the rim with potting soil, topped with a 24-inch round of tempered glass ― sold as a tabletop ― on the rim. This mini-greenhouse can double as a table for a lightly shaded patio. To keep condensation from building up on the underside of the glass, remove the glass tabletop every few days for an hour or so. Once the succulents are rooted (about four weeks), transfer them to pots or garden beds and fill the table with glass balls, shells, or your choice of decoration.
