The patio was another area she felt needed attention. It was a comfortable place to sit, but she always thought it lacked a unique centerpiece. Buying outdoor furniture or decorative tables wasn’t impossible, but after seeing the prices at local stores, she decided to challenge herself instead. Once again, she turned to an old tire. This time, she cleaned it thoroughly before wrapping it with rope and adding a sturdy wooden top. By the time she finished, the tire had been transformed into a rustic side table that fit perfectly with the rest of her garden.
Most visitors never realized what it had originally been. Instead of seeing an old tire, they simply saw a charming piece of patio furniture that looked like it had been bought from a specialty home store. She smiled as she explained that some of her favorite projects are the ones people completely overlook. But there was one tire project that nobody overlooked.
In fact, it was usually the very first thing children rushed toward whenever they visited her garden.
