TABLE: LLOYDFLANDERS.COM

Bring the

outdoors in

Pulled off the patio or

sunroom and placed by a

sofa, a wicker table helps

carry off a fresh garden

look. If the table has seen

better days or the color

doesn’t match the room,

spray-paint it. (For

synthetic wicker, use a

spray paint designed for

plastic.) First clean the

table, then spray white

primer on all surfaces; let

dry. Spray the base coat in

several thin layers so you

don’t clog the woven parts

of the table. Add a

tempered glass top.

STYLE MADE SIMPLE

Give a small dining table a new purpose—as an end table,

children's workstation, or nightstand.
