Re-purposed Banana Stand House Plant Holder

January 14, 2015
My re-purpose project today begins with a thrift shop, $2, oak banana stand.  These are relatively easy to find at thrift shops.  


First I gave the banana stand a couple coats of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Old White.  I distressed it a bit with sand paper.

I decided to add a garden image from the Graphics Fairy using the Mod Podge Image Transfer Method.  The Graphics Fairy Mod Podge image transfer to wood method is here.



I planted a small variegated hoya or wax plant in a small vintage-look bucket. The hoyas at my house grow slowly but are quite trouble free, even growing in low light conditions.

 Of course I added some clear wax to protect my banana stand and the image transfer.

This is a fun and easy decor idea!  You could use faux succulents if you don't want to bother with a live plant.  I found this little vintage look pail with the number "7" on it at a floral shop.  The project cost is about $10 or under, depending upon the cost of your pail, and faux or real house plant.

    This is really neat. I will opt for faux plant when I find my stand.

    This is really neat. I will have to use the faux plant because I don't have a green thumb.

    What a great repurposing project! That sweet little bucket looks a whole lot better than a bunch of bananas. Love the the graphic transfer too. Thanks Carlene for sharing at VIParty.
