I wanted a Mini Stool / Solid Wood Accent Table to display some plants on my front porch but I didn’t want to buy one. Have you seen the prices on these mini stools? My goodness they are pricey! Instead I gathered some scrap wood I had laying around, pulled out my tools and got to work. I honestly had so much fun creating this accent table. Isn’t it amazing!
The space I have in my front porch is limited a pretty narrow and small area. I knew I had to make my accent table small but big enough for my mini stool to be multifunctional. This mini stool can be used as a few different furniture pieces; a mini stool a side table or a display table. I’m currently using it as an accent table displaying some of my potted outdoor plants but I can easily use it as an extra sitting stool when needed. I’m loving how versatile this piece turned out.
Are you in need of a solid wood accent table / mini stool display stand? I think we are all in need of this cute and adorable mini stool. Let me know if you decide to make your own mini stool or accent table, I would love to see it. Please feel free to share… Just so you are aware I am NO professional nor am I an expert! But I’m also not afraid to get creative and take on a DIY. I simply measured twice and carefully and safely followed tools and material instructions. Just thought I’d share that. If you know tool safety you can easily build one of these beautiful mini stools yourself.
