Ordinary Bar Stool Repurposed - Rope End Table

Posted on 04:48 by clark
 

Last summer, I found a couple of barstools at a yard sale for $2 a piece.  One  is used as a plant stand on our porch.  The other has been repurposed as an end table in our loft.
 
 

To do this, I took a traditional barstool….


….and a package of rope that I purchased from Hobby Lobby.


Starting from the outside edge and working my way to the center, I hot glued the rope to the seat of the barstool.  I unexpectedly ran out of rope just as I got to the center......


...but lucky for me, I had some scrap rope in my craft drawer that I saved from the packaging of a gift set someone gave me.  Yeah, I keep stuff like that for moments like this;)


I love the texture the rope adds, and that’s why I chose to use it. 


Lastly, I painted the green legs with some sample Louis blue ASCP (Annie Sloan chalk paint) that was sent to me with a recent purchase, and then I finished it off by applying a coat of ASCP clear wax.
 
 

The seat of the stool is the perfect size for a lamp, making a barstool a really great repurposed end table.
