Create your own little haven of calm by teaming a comfy seat with a bespoke hand-painted side table.
A bespoke hand-painted table
With summer fast approaching, now is a great time to get ready for outdoor entertaining. This simple and quick-to-make side table can be teamed with a chair or outdoor sofa on your deck or patio. Best of all, you can personalise it to suit your interior scheme by choosing your favourite paint colours.

Instructions
Seal then paint pot and saucer in 2 coats of your desired base colour (we chose Resene ‘Sand’), letting it dry after each.
Step 1 and Step 3
Decorate pot using testpots. To add stripes, mask off a 3cm-wide stripe on either side with masking tape (the stripe needs to be at a slight angle) and paint with a small brush – we used Resene Kalgoorie Sands Repeat at equal intervals around pot; carefully remove tape before paint has completely dried.
If desired, add circles. We drew around 2 lids (9cm and 11cm) with a pencil and carefully painted them in; or paint them freehand for an organic look. We used Resene Moccasin and Resene Florentine Pink.
Leave to dry overnight then place next to your favourite chair as a handy, colourful side table.
