This is our first summer in New Hampshire so I am working really hard to get the yard summer ready. We have a nice wooded back yard, but there is no deck.

We are planning a Fourth of July cook-out so I want to have plenty of seating and entertaining areas. I already have a beautiful patio set that you can see from my old home here.

When I spotted this old wooden cable spool at a barn sale for $10 I scooped that baby up! Here is the before:

Here are the easy steps to refinish this into an outdoor table.

Supplies

Step 1 

Wipe down the table to remove any dust or dirt.

Step 2

Give the table two to three coats of paint in your choice of color. I used a pretty aqua called refreshing.

This is such a gorgeous shade and has a nautical vibe that blends well with the rope trim of table.

Step 3

As this table will be used outdoors and also to hold drinks, I gave it two coats of clear wax, letting it dry in between coats.

You have creative thinking like a professional designer does. The color combination is superb. It is like you already predict what’s the result looks like. Just wow. I hope I read more of your blogs soon. I wish I can be able to design as you do here.
