I may or may not have a stash of wood slices. I don't go to craft stores often but I am always tempted to grab one of these every time I do go. I have a lot of projects in mind but I just haven't gotten to them yet. I did scratch one off of my list last month though! This project was originally share on Angie's List website. I started freelance writing for them a couple of months ago. I loved this project so much I wanted to share it here as well.
I love mixing rustic items with modern or unexpected items. I knew this plant stand needed some glamorous gold legs!
I bought some tapered legs from Home Depot but I decided they were a bit too long for this so I cut off a few inches which made them slightly less tapered. If I were to do this again I would have gone ahead and bought the 4 or 5 inch legs to begin with.
I sprayed them with my new favorite gold spray paint.
And I added some furniture leg pads since it would be going on my hardwood floors.
Since the wood slice was not sealed, I added some polyurethane. I ended up doing 3 coats.
I drilled holes on the bottom for the legs. Drill holes that are slightly smaller than the screw part.
It really was just that simple! I think it would be pretty to make three that were different sizes and heights to group together.
PIN for later:
What projects did you get done over the weekend? Or were you lazy and binge watched Call The Midwife like me? :)

This is really cute! I think I need to pick up a wood slice next time I go tot he craft store.
That looks so cute, love that you painted the legs gold, it just pops!
This plant stand is sooo cute, and of course I love the gold legs. I hope you'll stop by and share it at The Crafty Corner link party with us!
Super cute wood slice plant stand Stacy! I made one with wheels back in the spring from my own wood slice left over from a tree I had to remove.
thanks for sharing at Talk of the Town!
