DIY Bistro Set {From Candle Holder to Table}

Tuesday, August 18, 2015

In my post last Thursday I shared how I turned a candle holder into a bistro table using a Jigsaw for the Power Tool Challenge. Today I'm sharing Bistro Chairs that I picked up for a song at a local auction and how I unified them with the now table to create a DIY Bistro Set.

To see how I turned this Metal and Glass Hurricane Candle Holder...

...into a Scalloped Table Top PRESS HERE.

The bistro chairs looked like this when I purchased them. The paint was a little chippy and the feet a little rusty and I could have left them as is. But the look on the metal kitty said, "oh you mustn't".

...so I listened.

All three received a few coats of Rust-oleum Ultra Cover Paint & Primer Semi-Gloss in White. They were also protected with Rust-oleum Semi-Gloss Sealer in a Clear finish.

In my Candle Holder to Bistro Table post, I shared how I copied the pattern on the chair seats to the new Bistro Table Top.

For a Summer vibe, I filled the glass hurricane with decorative sand and seashells. The fun part about this table is that it can be changed out for the seasons!
