My aunt gave me this wooden pedestal. Not sure what the original use was, but the top had a chip in the wood.
Earlier this year, I upcycled this pie basket from Goodwill.
It had a shelf inside to stack two pies.
I painted it with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in French Linen, stenciled grain sack stripes with an Old Sign Stencils stencil, and applied a Re-Design with Prima transfer to the top.
Full details on this project can be found HERE.
After removing the center spindle on the pedestal, I decided to use the pedestal as a table base on my basket.
A 10" x 10 1/2" square piece of plywood was cut to go inside on the basket bottom.
The board in the bottom gave the basket stability. The board was then screwed into the pedestal.
I painted the board with Annie Sloan Paint in French Linen.
The pedestal was also painted with French Linen and waxed with Dixie Belle's Best Dang Wax in Clear.
It's a great little side table for a cup or glass or remote. The inside can hold magazines, books or even knitting or handiwork.
I love the way the basket table turned out!
Thanks for visiting!
Pin for later!
