Roadkill Rescue Patio side table

Roadkill  Side Table Rescue and New Outdoor Rug

As I was driving down the street at 5:30 in the morning to go pick up my carpool buddy, I noticed on the sidewalk this iron table and some other stuff.  This little table really stuck out and as I passed it and got down the street a few blocks away, I kept thinking about this little table "should I keep going?"  "do I turn around and get it?"  "How much time do I have?"  with all of these thoughts racing though my head and since I have never done this type of thing before,  I was a little nervous...what if someone sees me?  Is it out there for the taking?  Of course it is!  I immediately turned around and yes I did it!  I would like to think I rescued it...yes that is what I did I rescued it! 

I don't think I have ever gotten out of a car so fast in my life, popped the trunk, and in it went!


I am really not a green fan and neither is Mr. OMT, so I knew it would get painted, of course, to "match" what we have.

Didn't really have to do much to it, it was in pretty good shape, just needed a little cleaning up and some paint
I first sprayed it with a hammered copper color and then stippled and dry brushed it with Black paint.

I love this little bird I found at TJ Maxx and he does look quite handsome in his new home.

For the life of me I can't remember who did a post on this QVC outdoor patio rug, I wish I did!  If you happen to be reading this post...Thank you!  It was so inexpensive and it really changes the looks of the patio.  It is also reversable.  I love it!

I can't believe how it just matched with the pillows even the design is very similar.

 I love the size of it! It fits perfect in it's new spot.

 

 

 Well, I can now say I did my first roadkill rescue...scary, exciting and down and out right fun!   I am very pleased on how it turned out and the new outdoor patio rug.
