Update a plant stand and turn it into a side table. You can use these steps to update a plant stand, and even your patio furniture.
First I washed the plant stand to clean off any dirt that was on it. Then I scrubbed it with a Steel Wool Pad (mine came from the Dollar Tree) to remove any loose paint and rust.
After all the water had dried, I used Rustoleum Metallic Brilliant Metal Finish to paint the stand. I let the paint dry 24 hours.
I found a glass cutting board at the Dollar Tree and knew it would fit perfect in the plant stand.
I bought one for the top and one for the bottom shelves.
A couple years back, I refurbished all my yard furniture. Some of it was green, some of it was black, paint was chipping and places were starting to rust. I did all of these steps and am very pleased with the way it turned out. This picture is recent and all the furniture made it through the winter just fine.
I noticed that this poor rocker on the bottom left corner didn’t have a table space to put a beverage or snack. That is when I remembered I had the plant stand.
Here is more of the furniture I fixed up last fall. The table was green, & chairs were black. Now they all match.
I did this plant stand a couple years ago and it’s holding up fantastic!

I like to repurpose things. I have two planters made from parts of old BBQs. – Margy
I love that Margy, thank you for sharing.
I love the makeovers. I did our chairs last year too. Now I need to look for a plant stand to add that extra table space. 🙂
I love that you have done this too Linda – so great to just give our old stuff a face lift to bring it life again.
It looks great and it is important to have somewhere to have your cuppa when your sitting in the garden.
Thanks Julie, love that and you are so very right!
