A Repurposed Fish Tank Stand Garden Decor Project

Most of us are familiar with these plain vintage iron fish tank stands, especially if you grew up in the 70's! My Dad had one just like it when I was growing up. I bought this vintage fish tank stand at a local thrift shop when my son bought a couple of lizards. When we no longer had lizards in the house I used the tank stand to do my spray painting projects. That's when I decided to give it a makeover. With a few really simple steps this ugly old fish tank stand becomes an attractive table for my patio.
I bought this old fish tank stand at a local thrift shop for less than $10.
I painted the tank stand and attached a few ceramic floor tiles and PRESTO, CHANGO it has become a sweet upcycled table for my patio. I am currently using it as a plant stand but it can also be used as an impromptu bar for snacks and drinks when I have family gatherings and parties. It will even hold a small table top barbecue too!
