Here is a quick project I did this morning. I made this table with a discarded table base, and a left over table top.
I found this table base, about to be tossed, at a garage sale. It's been sitting in my garage, and I thought it was time to make a table out of it.
In my "Evil Cherub" post, I replaced the table top below with a smaller one. I knew I would eventually use it.
They made a good match. After applying glue to the base top, I used my power drill to countersink a screw right through the top of the table, and into the middle of the base. I made sure the screw went just below the surface of the tabletop.
I added wood filler,
and sanded it smooth. After giving it a grey base coat, I applied multiple layers of white gesso.
I like it.

Love the marriage of the two pieces...they were meant to be together,
ReplyDeletei am always saving parts! you just never know! this table is sweet and simple and the perfect parts combined!
ReplyDeleteWow, love the table! I agree with Penny, they were meant to be together! I love your creations, Rosemary! So much talent!
ReplyDeleteWhistle ~ Whistle...those are some great legs!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou make me want to redo my entire decorating scheme (which would most assuredly result in my death at the hands of my husband, but oh well). I love this table and the setting you placed it in.
ReplyDeleteI like it too! I can't believe that it didn't already come that way. I would never know that you actually made that. I love little tables like that.
ReplyDeleteI love it, Rosemary! The top is such a great shape! Amazing how that worked out with the base.
ReplyDeleteFresh! I need to do the gesso thing on a couple of these which I have had forever and a day. They look a bit too "naturally" distressed!
ReplyDeleteI like it too, its gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHi Rosemary,
ReplyDeleteI just love little white pedestal tables and yours is adorable.
Great job.
hugs

ReplyDeleteVoila! Just like that a new table. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteYou make things seem so easy. I have a hard time taking the lid off a paint can! Haha! Beautiful result you got!
ReplyDeleteLovely! These two pieces were made for each other.
ReplyDeleteperfect pairing Rosemary! I gotta try that gesso~
ReplyDeleteI would have never guessed that they were two separate pieces put together to make one. Lovely!

How pretty and so great that you were able to use two pieces that otherwise would have been tossed by someone less creative than yourself!
