Repurposed turkey fryer.

Money is tight around here.We have two boys,one is 3 and the other is 4 months.So things like outdoor/indoor decorating are last on our list.However I do love to work outside and I love to repurpose!I really don't like to go to stores and buy things anyway.I would rather use something that we have and make it unique. So today as I was taking a break from tilling the garden.I was sitting on the deck with some ice tea and I was looking around and noticed everything was on one level.
I needed to create some height

So I looked around the garage trying to find something I could use.I have an old singer sewing machine that is in really bad shape.The wood is falling apart and it's just nasty.I was going to take the wood off and make a new top,but my husband had big heavy stuff stacked on it.I was feeling creative now and if I had to wait till later the moment would have moved on...So after looked around the garage I noticed the base of a turkey fryer.I got it down from the shelf.I took off the regulator and.....TADA! A plant stand!

It hasn't been used for 3 or 4 years so I shouldn't get the 3rd degree cause I turned it into a plant stand.(I didn't by the way,he liked it)So I scuffed it off a little with a red scuff pad and shot it with some paint I found in the garage(I did get a talking to about that..oops)

I love it! I found a smaller stand also and I'm thinking about using that one too.What better way to clear some room out of the garage..find stuff and Reuse it!!!

This isn't the same stand.I didn't take a before picture to show how nasty it looked.It pretty much looked like this one,except it was really rusty.
