Improving our patio seating was a key aim for the outdoor refresh at Bildirimlerim.
We moved the wicker seating from inside, which looked significantly better than the single dull green chair; still, a surface for lemonade or coffee was needed. Lemonade sounds so lovely, so I resolve to start making it.
We found a lovely, 4 foot square cast iron grate while removing the avocado green and orange carpets from the Living Room/ Dining Room. Its robustness made it impossible for me to lift alone.
My capable husband observed that the central ring could be detached with ease.
And there it is:
a table crafted in just 5 minutes.
We set the cast iron grate upon a section of a Hawthorne tree stump that fell this winter:
Keeping the top separate from the stump allows for simple relocation and storage; the cast iron's heft ensures stability.
We now possess a pleasant spot to relax, enjoy the roses, and finally drink that lemonade.
