For those of you that visit my blog often I've been talking about this project for quite a while -
and now -
a reveal......
All those broken dishes and stumps from our tree removal have turned into a funky little side table in our kitchen garden.
It was a fun project and easy to do, but I have a lot to learn. I think a pair of tile nippers might have helped a little and boy did I put on way too much grout.
I had the perfect pillow to use on the bench thanks to Amy at Into Vintage.
And the kitchen garden is nearly completely planted.
I'll be linking up today
with Between Naps on the Porch for
I hope you can see some of the other amazing projects and transformations at both these blog parties.
And thank you for stopping by! Your visits are always such a treat!
I've never seen a mosaic stump before ... what a delightful project. It came out great for you. Enjoy it often!
ReplyDeleteOh that turned out so cute!!! Great job. I would think tile nippers would be helpful but you made that stump 'purty'!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THAT TABLE YOU MADE. What is most impressive is the fact that you recycled something that most people would of dug up and thrown away. Good for you!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

What a cute idea for a table. Now that is recycling!
ReplyDeleteThat table is so cute! I may just have to chop down a tree. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your stump table...it is very sweet....blessings
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea! I wish I had seen that before we had all of our stumps ground (very expensive, and a major hole in the lawn!) We have lost so may white birch trees, and this would have been perfect. Unfortunately, we have another lovely birch that appears to be dying, so I will definitely keep this in mind should we lose it completely.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely and so whimsical. It looks great with the bench. Your kitchen garden is turning into a pretty special place!

Being a tile setters wife..yes..tile nippers would of sped up your work..and saved your fingers. I am sorry I didn't suggest it. I forget, not everybody has these things sitting around..lol
ReplyDeleteIt looks awesome!! You will have everyone in your neighborhood cutting down trees to have one!

And it just looks so cute sittin there with the nice pitcher of lemonade! Who woulda thought to use a stump. You are just clever!
ReplyDeleteMy neighbor tiled her entry floor using old china. I thought that was a unique idea until I saw your stump! It's darling and a perfect spot to place an iced pitcher of lemonade while you work on your next project!! Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday dear friend!!

What an incredible stump table and a great idea! Breakage is always going to happen. You have came up with a great way to put the broken pieces to work and salvage stumps as well. :) I really, really like it and will now be on the lookout for different size stumps...once we move, of course. :)
ReplyDeleteI have been saving broken china forever, thinking I was going to do something similar to this. Yours turned out great. Thanks for the inspiration. laurie
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful table! It turned out really great.
