This little charmer was sitting all forlorn at a garage sale last week, and I just had to rescue it. That weird wagon wheel thing on the top was not working for me at all, so I tore it out with some pliers. Then I was left with these big holes around the edge where the wagon wheel used to be, so I bought some wood filler that was also made to be stainable. (Yes, I know, I wanted to stain it and not paint it black! Can you believe it?)

oooh-love the legs on that beauty! She looks great! I am not one for filling holes. I would have asked my husband sweetly and he would have rolled his eyes, but he would of done it, eventually!
I would have never thought to stain it-looks fantastic! So worth 5$!
What a bargain, I love it when no one sees the potential in something and I end up with an awesome deal and make it over myself. Great Job.

Now if I would of seen that table I would of walked right on by because the the "wheel" no thinking about filling in the wood. You my dear thought out of the box and did a great job :o)
Nice!
I wonder what the wagon wheel part on top was all about anyway? It's always nice to have a cute round table.
Great job.

You do such a great job! Can I tell you that I am looking around for a candle-lier! Have you seen them anywhere else??
You did a great job transforming the table. I like it natural color too.
I must have a ton of spice bottles and the same problem with them not fitting in my tiny cupboard. This would be a great way of stacking them. The lil table was a awesome find and the end results fit perfect with the decor you added.I was surprise the wood pieces came off without a hitch. I'll be looking at the tables I run into with more possibility's. Thanks for sharing!
Have a *Sweet Evening*!
Sara
That turned out fabulously!!! You did a GREAT job on it!
Good idea pulling those out. I see those tables all of the time second hand and never get them because of the "fence" around them.
Darling. I confess, I would have painted it black!
Liz
That's beautiful! I'm going yard sale-ing today. I hope I find something good like you did!
WOW!!! $5??? Not bad at all!!
Way to go! That table must be crying out a huge 'Thank You' to you right about now! It's lovely!!! Hope you're feeling well and all is good hun! ~ Les P.S. I am in love with the clock on the table~ where oh where did you find it?
I swear you must attend the same yardsales as me. I've seen many of these stands in the past and never thought to remove the wagon wheel thing as you've done.
Great idea!!!
The same stool you'd painted black awhile ago is what I bought last weekend for a quarter.
Oh and the taco soup/stew sounds delish!!!
If only I could convince my husband my husband to eat the beans.
This is one of the reasons he detests chili.
MMMMMMM!!!!
