DIY Pedestal Table With an Urn Planter Base

When it comes to decorating, a good accent table is worth its weight in gold. Such a table should do more than just give you a place to set a lamp or a beverage; it should add an eye-catching decorative accessory to a room. If you have a striking urn planter that is currently empty, there's no reason you can't convert it into a chic pedestal table in an afternoon. This allows you to repurpose an article that would otherwise go unused, transforming it. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

1

Combine 1/4 cup trisodium phosphate with 1 gallon water in a bucket. Dip a scrub brush in the bucket and scrub the urn down. Pat it down with old towels and allow it to air dry.

2

Run a tape measure across the diameter of the urn. Write the measurement down. Add 4 inches to it. This is the diameter of the round tabletop you will select to go on top of the urn.

3

Visit a hardware store and purchase a perfectly circular piece of glass to go over the urn. The glass should at least be 1 inch thick. This way, the glass will be heavy and there will be no risk of the glass sliding off the table.

4

Add a round decorative tray on top of the glass. The tray should be around the same size as the glass or slightly smaller. The tray will give the urn a splash of color and hide the view of the inner parts of the urn.
