I know,it is NOT Thursday. But, even though I actually had this project done Wednesday (that is a tad early for me 😂), I had to wait for some sunshine to get pictures. They are still not great photos--dear daughter's attic room doesn't get much light on this end.
These two thrift store items were purchased separately--a cute, boho plant hanger and a lazy Susan. I bought the plant hanger for, well, a plant and I always buy lazy Susans, if the price is right, for round signs and small table tops.
I never intended to use the two together, but I spied both of them at the same time hanging out in my craft room (i.e. glorified laundry room) and ding, ding, ding--I had an idea, a hanging side table!
I removed the lazy part or the spinning part from the lazy Susan and lightly sanded it and stained it with espresso colored stain.
A clear coat finished this really (cue sarcasm) difficult project.
I set it in the plant hanger and that was all it took to make a perfect hanging side table. I hung it near my daughter's papasan chair, that sits in a cozy corner of her bedroom. The slanted attic ceiling was the perfect height for the hanging table. Her turntable, aka record player, sits nearby and it is a perfect spot to have a cup of tea and read.
If you need to hang it from a higher ceiling, you could use chain or rope or laundry line to hang the plant hanger from the ceiling. Oh, and the lamp? A thrift store tripod and a lamp kit!
What a great idea, I love it! Pinned!
