Create A Side Table Or Planter

DIY projects don't get much simpler than this. Someone used an old table lamp and plate and converted them into a side table. All you need is some paint and liquid nails. Okay, you might want to use a saw to off the top portion of the lamp, but sometimes you can do this by simply prying off the top portion or unscrewing it. Just be sure to give the lamp a fresh coat of paint if it doesn't already have some.
