Side Table Totem

17 years ago

I needed a small table to set my coffee cup on while I'm setting in the old rocker reading. (Reading in the porch swing gives me motion sickness.) My contemplative angel also needed an elevated perch. I used a microwave plate which I plan to mosaic when *I* get cool enough. Then I used a glass canister. I painted a once pink rose with exterior house paint to match my shutters, dipped it in decopage, and encased it in the canister. Next came a green square vase. A few bobbles were added.

I wish I was as wishful as your angel!
Or is she saying, "Uummm, how many cups of Folgers now, SusieRose?"
You did a wonderful job on this piece as well.

Oh, that's so pretty! Love the porch, and all the comfy beautiful things you've decorated with. I love those gold curtains! I remember you told about how you did them in an earlier thread. Would you please repeat instructions? I'd love some of those on my little front porch! Can I send you the measurements?! LOL! (maybe we could trade 'maters for fancy porch curtains!) hehe ~tenderlee

Ms TN- I ordered the fabric on ebay for 50 cents a yard. This was a freak accident. It is Sunbrella Fabric with no fading!!!! My other exterior fabrics always fade. I had to sew two widths together because of the width of the porch area. Hubs put up a black iron curtin rod and squeeze and pinch hoops. That makes it simple to slide to one side or the other. We have birds that build a nest on the curtain every year so i built them a house for this year. You'll want to put up iron tie-backs to tie the curtains up during windy seasons. Let me know if I've left anything out. susie

STOP IT ALREADY!!!! ROFL

You make me feel like such a lazy dawg!! And yes, I've heard of Folgers!! HAHAHA

You are such the go-getter and EVERYTHING is gorgeous!!! Love your porch and the little table is SWEET!! Now I want to paint my porch white. But the upkeep -OY!!

OK, once I finish clearing the overgrown grass, and pull out all the weeds, and cut back the bushes (I'm still in fire prevention mode and need to revamp the garden to make it that much safer should we ever have fires again and there's ash falling all over the place) I'll start thinking about making something. And you'll be one of my INSPIRATIONS!!!
