Stump Coffee Table

Hey there, hi there, ho there! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend! I went to a flea market and found some fun stuff! I'll post about that a little later. But first. I finally did it! If you've been following my blog for a while, you may remember that I had a HUGE limb fall in my front yard. Looked a little something like this.

And... if you are new to my blog... let me catch you up real quick.... that HUGE freakin limb fell in my front yard. There, you're all caught up, well almost, then I went tree branch happy for a while and used the branches for everything I could think of.

Let's see what I did with them all? Well, there was the endless Fall/Thanksgiving decorating, like these branches draped with a paper leaf garland.

Then there was the endless supply of tree slices. I always rock the country vibe around Thanksgiving!

Even a fabric wrapped branch... don't ask... it just popped into my head, so I did it.

And... there were several other tree branch related things but I won't bore you by repeating them all again. So, back to the present. I still have some tree limb left and I'm putting it to good use. When they (the tree cutter-uppers) were cutting the limb down to size, for removal, I went out and asked them nicely if they would cut a few pieces for me to keep, which they were happy to do. I had this piece cut with a coffee table in mind, and now finally, a couple of months later...guess what? IT'S A COFFEE TABLE!

Not an original idea, I know. But, I did give it a snazzy little metallic silver wax job!

Doesn't it kinda look like an upside down butt from this angle. Wearing a pair of jeans with brown pockets, and a wallet in the back pocket! Sorry my imagination just got carried away. I wasn't going for that look... just a perk I guess HA!
