What about using pallet boards for new top & bottom shelf, maybe paint white? and wrap bottom w/chicken wire (insert of some sort showcased) or use garden lattice painted to match top?

The top could be painted to look like marble or brown paper bags can be torn in small pieces and decoupaged on the top to give an aged leather effect. Fabric can also be decoupaged to then top surface. Then the legs are painted to match.

They are a very cool shape, with the small space at the bottom for display (jar of shells?) I would sand, prime, and paint it to go with whatever else you have in the room.

Good ideas. I'd use the bottom for those large books that are awkward to put on shelves or a vase with shells, marble collection, etc., or weighted vase with some artificial greenery or such.

Try a stone spray paint. Sand it with 80 grit, Prime with primer spray then spray with stone effect spray then clear coat spray. Good luck.

Thank you ladies for the ideas, I love the lattice and marble top ideas, I may lean more toward those but I loved all the ideas, I do have a few jars at home I'm going to use marbles and shells for the bottom section.
