DIY Garden Urn Turned Coffee Table April 23rd, 2014 in member junk ShareThis 21 users recommend I took an antique cast iron garden urn and turned it into a beautiful coffee table. Mikey Fuller www.shabbyfrenchcottage.com The room is shabby chic meets Paris apartment meets industrial chic meets urban . . .I love it. . .oh. . .yes that is one of those $399.00 sofas from Ikea. . . Lots of buttons and rhinestone jewelry fill up the urn. I also tossed in a few chandelier crystals for extra sparkle. These antique Union Jack flags in a trophy vase add a nice touch to an otherwise very French room, in lieu of Queen Elisabeth's Diamond Jubilee and the 2012 London Olympics. . .the waxed paper flags are on bamboo--yes--bamboo poles! Photo: Mikey Fuller www.shabbyfrenchcottage.com I took a cast-iron garden urn, filled it with some of my favorite treasures, and topped it with glass to make a unique and simple junk beautiful coffee table.
