Wooden Spool as Patio Table
I am so excited to show you our back deck this summer. Our old patio set had seen better days, so I got a new table on our back deck, and it is an old spool that we are using as a table! These pictures feature the table, but if you click through to the actual post, you can see a tour of the entire deck and the upper deck with checkerboard painted floor.
I wanted a new patio table, but our budget is tight right now, so I needed a cheap option. Well, one evening I was on Pinterest and I came across a Pin of a spool used as a table, and I absolutely swooned! I knew I had to have one for my back deck!
So right now, our only plans are to have a round piece of glass made to place on top of it. I think that will make it easier to keep clean, and I will feel more safe having the kids eat off of it. I also think the shiny glass will be the perfect touch of glimmer to this weathered spool. And I even love the chairs we bought to go with it! They match almost to perfection, and they are some of the most comfortable chairs I have ever sat in.
This is the perfect spot to sit in the evening with a glass of wine. We are very happy with the way the whole thing turned out!

Looks great. When I was growing up my mom had one in our house in a awkward corner I remember being so embarrassed by it lol but she was just ahead of her time we reused so many items in our home due to dad not being in the picture. We painted a picnic table n stained n sealed it.she took foster children it had seperate benches but worked great
