I saw this when first posted and yesterday I stopped st a thrift store. There in the furniture section was the exact same stool!!! Furniture was half off so I got it for $5. Going to check the ReStore for a table top and board to use for the shelf. I’m in heaven!!!

Gorgeous….I really love the two tone stain. I have one lonely stool like this and didn’t have a clue on what to do with it, I love it! Not sure I would be able to do the lazy susan though….my kids would make it a toy and I have visions of them spinning and flying off of it very fast lol.

Hi Mindi! Wow… what a great idea! I especially like the idea of the lazy susan, you could put it near the grill so “the griller” doesn’t have to reach too far. 🙂 You asked if I’d ever made a table out of a bar stool/stool…my answer yes!
Isn’t that the ‘other’ purpose of a bar stool, I think it might even say it on the label …”can also be used as a side table”! Actually, I found an old wooden chess board at a yard sale minus the pieces and attached it to a bar stool one time. Made a great table.
enjoyed reading your tutorial… thanks! Patricia

That’s another great project, Mindy! I love how your sidetable turned out. The two-toned stained design is beautiful.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Great idea and fantastic job! I have two mosaic table tops that I picked up in the trash and have been waiting for a support for years. Now I know what to do: look out for old stools. Thanks for sharing this!
