Accessorizing a Table

A century old altar table, below, is the potting table Susanne Hudson & I used for our Penny McHenry Hydrangea Festival garden. Lamps, plants, bust, ephemera; similar to interior table accessorizing.
Our potting table is viewed from front, back & sides.

Yes, poppets, those lamps are ON. Are you just now discovering you NEED a romantic potting table with lamps ON?

We bought nothing to create the potting table. Using only what we had between us.

    Great old table. I have to laugh though my husband made a temporary potting table last week and put an old lamp on it.

    Romantic reuse...great idea, makes sense! Certainly "greener" than all the marketing green-wash out there. Thanks.

    Love,love this idea. I am all about making the outdoor rooms as comfy as the indoor rooms. I just did a redo on my front porch and I added a curtain. I already had a mirror and a lamp out there and the curtain just completed it for me. You can see it here if you have time. Loved this post thanks for sharing!!

    The table scape looks wonderful. That table alone is to die for, bullnose edge and plank legs.. equals awesome!

    Kitty is adorable!

    Have a wonderful day, Lynea

    Love lamps in the garden! In Dallas I had an iron baluster (from the Scott show) turned into a lamp and it was on 24/7. It was a bit under an eave, so just had to change out the Target shade once a year or so! Now, said lamp is in the master bedroom on a bedside table (with new shade, of course!)
