flower pot table

16 years ago

My DS gave me these great pots for Christmas. And I didn't want to put them plants in them outside because they tend to get damaged. I got this piece of tempered glass from the rejects at the glass place for $5.00. I was going to use it for crash glass projects, but then decided to do this. It's a little big, but it matches the top of the outdoor dining table, so it will do for now.

    The pots are beautiful! And, so is your furry buddy! What a charmer! I love your entire patio! It looks so pulled together and comfortable! You got quite a deal getting the glass that big for only $5, and what a good use for it. Thanks for sharing!

    I love your dog !!! What a pose :)

    Oh yes -- I love your table, too ! LOL

    It looks better than the ones on TV on the decorating shows. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I have a glider that my grandmother bought in 1951 and it looks just like yours except mine is yellow and is in bad need of repainting.

    That's a great "pot table!" And you could fill the pots, too, seasonally or something...like I have an end table on porch that is wicker with large round glass & I put my painted huge apple gourds in it in the Fall.

    Love your glider, too! Whole setting looks ready for summer! TFS, frou! Jeanne S.

    Very pretty and useful. Your patio looks very inviting.tfs

    Very good! I'm impressed! Your deck looks very upscale. I love it...and your puppy.

    I was going to say the same thing...fill it with sand and put sea shells in the top layer, under the glass.

    very nice combination..I sure don't blame you for not wanting to put plants in them.

    Great place for a BBQ or just cold drinks or bowl of ice cream!! Lots of room on your new table too. You could store something you put outside in winter or fill them with pinecones, or balls for your sweet dog! Jan

    Your DH has great taste! Love the color of those pots and they make a great base for your table. Simple but elegant. Sometimes, that's the best. I like your little model posing with it too. Does your pup run in front of the camera when you get it out? Love the old glider, the rocker and your cushions. Very pretty! I always loved gliders. They are so relaxing. Great job! Now when are we invited over for lemonade or tea? he-he

    oh, that's a great idea:D you could also store wood in it if you have a fire pit or chiminea....i love your colors out there! great job...

    You all are way too sweet. GMT, I'm really lucky, there is a glass place right around the corner from me and he has piles of used glass and he only charges me $5.00 for whatever size. JG, I've had the glider(and two chairs) for years and it takes a touch up painting every Spring to keep it in shape. J, I'm thinking on what to put in the pot, I just put it together, but I'm sure something will come to me. LLF, yes my furchild loves to pose for the camera and is under foot 24/7. You can see in the 1st pic she was sun bathing in a spot of sunlight, when I disturbed her. And I really, really wish everyone could join me for lemonade, ice cream or in my case a martini.

    here's a "where's Waldo?" question...

    how many of you noticed the really cool bottle tree in there?

  • 16 years ago

    Not only did I miss the bottle tree, but I had to go back to find the glider too.
    Its the coffee pots fault for brewing too slow. lol

  • 16 years ago

    I missed the bottle tree! And now that I went back and looked at it, I want to see a pic of what is in that raised bed off on the right by the bottle tree. It looks like a raised bed with some bottles or those old glass fishing floats. Curious people need to SEE! Color me curious!

    Here are some pics of the raised bed. Those are slag glass pieces sitting on it. I used some old beer and wine bottles to outline the side bed.

    JUST BEAUTIFUL, frou! Getting lovier & lovier as the season progresses! TFS! Jeanne S.

    Gee the pot table turned out nice! That was a great idea. Love those pots! The whole area is looking really good, I remember you posting pics of it before and I can see you've been putting a lot of work into it. It's very pretty, I like everything about it and that is a great bottle tree, I like the shape of it, it shows off the individual bottles nice.
