I'm pretty sure they are on the hypertufa forum. They are very cute!

How about checking a nearby Lowes or Home Depot to see if they have any empty wire spolls. This could be painted the color comdos u r looking for. Good luck

Those are both good ideas :)

I'm thinking of trying to use an old existing table and maybe just redo the top. Maybe even another piece of wood in the ground for the base of the mushroom with a top attached. Any ideas for the top?

Is the top going to be useable? (not flat...but rounded like a mushroom) If for looks only, maybe an old small satellite dish & pour loosely mixed concrete over it ... or mosaiced with pebbles???? Sounds like a fun project. Jeanne S.

Is this the one you were looking at?

I think the spool idea would work, with some stumps for seats, painted similar to the table.
Do you know anyone who is handy with a chainsaw that could shape logs for you?

Its an awesome idea, if you can pull it off.

What about a red table cloth with white spots painted on and wrapped around the top of the spool??

No, but that table would be easier to copy. I like that it's flat on top, maybe I could find an old bistro table, make it a little shorter and paint the top.

My husband is good with a chainsaw, so I don't think the stumpstools would be too difficult.

The site I found on the internet is www.greatbigstuff.com/toadstool.html

Thanks for the ideas! I think the kids would have a lot of fun with this seating area.

I saw a video at Martha Stewart's site on how to make toadstools that were literal stools. They are very cute and along the lines of what you are thinking of doing with a tree stump.

Catalina- That is it! I knew I saw it somewhere, but could not find it...Thanks :)

They are so adorable and would be perfect in the garden. How difficult is it to build things with cement? I would love to find someone with "cement experience" and be the assistant on a project like this (LOL)

I love them. I favorited that site. I think the armature would be the hard part. Calamity_j made a big mushroom with a wire amature for her garden.
