Patio Table with DIY Built in Wine/Beverage Cooler

Patio Table DIY Built in Wine/Beverage Cooler

Hi Everyone... Hope everyones weekend was good and your week is starting off great!  Today I would like to share with you how I turned our patio table with a build-in Wine/Beverage Bar.  When we have family get togethers, although we have our party caddy that house's beverages , you can see that Here Pallet Party Caddy it seems everytime that everyone always drinks something different.  The bottles of wine end up all over the table.   After seeing a few beverage tables my head started spinning on  how I could create one in our patio table.   Here is what I came up with.


The nice thing about this kind of patio table is the 12X12 tiles can be removed and the colors of tiles can be changed creating different patterns.  We found this out when Mr. OMT broke one of the tiles and we could not find a perfect match to replace the one tile he broke.  


Here is how the wine/beverage cooler was created

 I removed the center tile


After searching for something to fit in the square, I remembered I had this wire basket (it was Here)
It was perfect fit...but there was one problem...how was I going to keep the wine/beverages cold?





I remembered I had these 3 tin buckets I painted for the new area I just did Here.



they all three fit  in the wire basket and housed the wine bottles perfect...Problem solved!  






I added some chalk painted wine tags to the wine bottles and labeled them: White, Red, and Pink

To make it more decorative and also to serve as a centerpiece,  I added a burlap bow, Faux grapes and wine corks around the edge of the wire basket.


Brought out the tray I made from a wood plant hanger you can see that here woodsy-dessert tray for an event I did Here   added a couple glasses of wine and cheese 



 





This was a fun challenge and a lot of fun to do!   What's  nice about it is the wine/beverage caddy can be temporary and can be easily removed by just lifting it out by the handles .  The  table can be put back to the way it was just by placing the tile back in.


Another project where I had  all the items and it cost me nothing to do!  Don't you just love these kind of projects where everything just works out?  I know I do!

Add to Your Outdoor Space using an Old Lamp




Freshen up your Patio and Add Color Using and Old Lamp

Hi All,  
bsp;I had just received my new magazine "All You".   So today I got up and went out to my favorite spot  to have my morning coffee, relax and read my magazine.  I only got to page 15 when I came upon a do-it-yourself project.  I was immediately drawn to it and liked what I saw.  I had everything it was asking for.  So happy I didn't get rid of the lamp I purchased a year ago and was now just collecting dust in the garage.


I rushed to the garage and dug it out and stole one of my finial from the bathroom.

Dismantled the lamp, removing the harp, cord and socket.
Glued the finial to the top. Let dry.


Gave it a quick coat of spray paint.
Color of spray paint is Rust-oleum's Paint and Primer in one Oil Rubbed Bronze



When it was completely dry I added a coat of my oops aqua paint.
 
 With a cloth I gently rubbed off some of the aqua paint  here and there to expose the Oil Rubbed Bronze and give it an aged worn  look.




When it was completely dried I gave it a new home right next to my floor lamp that was repurposed into a flip flop planter.  how to make flip flop planter from dome floor lamp


I like how this "now" ornament adds to this corner.

I am so happy how I was able to bring it all together with other things in common.  The best part... I had  all the items and it cost me nothing.

Quick and Easy Table Decoration Using Coffee Filters



How to Set a Table on a Budget Using Coffee Filters 
Hi All,  Yesterday I shared a  Coffee themed party 
and today I would like to share how everything that was done to decorate and set the table for a "Coffee Party Brunch"
Since this party was  "Coffee" themed,  I used a coffee filter wreath for the center piece to set the theme.  To see that you can go here for a tutorial on Coffee Filter Wreath.  I made the wreath awhile back for my coffee station, you can see that here Coffee Station.

How to decorate your table on a budget using Coffee Filters

A table can still be beautiful without using expensive tableware.
With a little imagination and some very inexpensive items it can be just as beautiful!

 Danish, Quiche, fresh fruit was severed with coffee

Although I provided the link on how to make the coffee filter wreath above, down below is a snap shot of some of the steps taken to make it.  




To prepare for the table I started out with a curtain panel rather than a table cloth.  I loved the sheerness, color and elegant embroidery going through it. (on sale for $11.99 at Target) added some inexpensive placemats, $14.94 for 6  ($2.49 each).  
I used brown coffee filters in place of doilies to place the pastries on

How to Decorate your Ordinary White Napkins

For the napkins I used your ordinary white  napkin.  Placed a brown coffee filter around it and added a  Dollar store faux crystal napkin ring.  To see how the napkin rings were made you can go here

Decorating the Glass Irish Coffee Mug 

For the irish coffee mug I placed a coffee filter at the bottom of the coffee mug and pulled it up.
Tied a satin ribbon around it.






 Wrap your coffee filter around the pedestal of the glass Irish Coffee Mug 





 Added silverware to the middle to complete the coffee filter place setting

For the party favors,  rose etched candles were placed in coffee filters to carry out the theme.



 
 A coffee bean candle display was also added to tie in the "Coffee Theme"

Here is what you will need to create this coffee bean glass cylindar candle piece

Glass pedestal (found at Dollar Store)
Glass cylindar (found at Dollar Store)
Glass votive cup ( found at Dollar Store)
Coffee Beans
Votive candles (found at Von's)



Place your cylinder vase on glass pedestal and fill the vase about a 1/4 of the way with whole coffee beans



add your votive cup to the center pushing it down so the beans are covering the bottom of votive cup






Place your votive candle


I used the ribbon that came with the votive candles and tied it around the cylinder vase


Light the candle and enjoy!



All of this was very inexpensive to do and like I said you don't have to use expensive tableware to set a beautiful table.  The ladies all loved it  and enjoyed their Coffee Brunch.
