Outdoor Bar

My husband and I built this bar to break up the monotony of our large backyard and to create a nice space to have coffee or even have the entire family eat dinner.

Gardening

This is my sideboard/dresser that sits on my deck. Found this old piece in our magic barn and put plastic liners in the drawers and fashioned a metal top for it. It also has a light inside that glows at night. Have no idea where it came from, but is now one of my favorite planters! I

Furniture: Old school desks

Ive got these two old school desks picked them up super super cheap at a yard sale. They are in perfect shape, the seats fold up nicely. Ive dated them to around 1890.I had them for sale on Craigslist, but the only hits I received were from a couple of "clowns" who wanted to send me a "cheque" and have cousin Vinny swing on by and pick them up. Anyway, Im not sure what to do with them. I do not want to paint them. Any ideas would be wonderful!

DIY Cowboy Cooler

I was in love with the look of a rustic cooler for our patio, but was turned off by the high prices. So my husband and I took an old cooler apart and built our own! The base is held by a ...»
2x2 frame, covered in reclaimed fence posts found by the curb. We attached a spigot to the drain hole in the cooler for drainage, used an antler shed for the handle, and added a bottle opener for decoration. It was so easy, and only $30 in supplies (since we had the cooler and fence wood on hand). You can check out the full step-by-step tutorial on my blog ( http://www.killerbdesigns.com/rustic-cooler-... ) to see how to make your own! It's a great addition to our back porch, and was so easy to make.

  • The process was pretty simple!  Using my Dremel, I sanded the top and bottom of the stump smooth.
  • Next, using my paint roller I gave the stump multiple coats of stain.  Allowing each coat to dry before applying the next.
  • I left the stump in the garage for a few days to dry.
  • In order for this project to work you need to allow your stump to dry completely.  Our stump sat outside to dry for many months on a covered porch, to protect it from the elements.  Be sure to elevate your stump off the ground while drying to prevent mold.
  • Once the stump was dry I gave it a couple coats of clear enamel to protect it from scratches and spills.
  • I love the rustic-natural look of the stump table! 1
  • It's a perfect spot to set a drink and a snack while we're watching TV.
  • Best of all, it was rather inexpensive to pull the whole thing together. 2

Tree Stump Table

When we had a few dead trees cut down in our yard last year, I saved some of the stumps to decorate with. I used a couple stumps to spruce up our fall porch, then decided to turn one of the stumps into a side table.
