In a new edition of my overly ambitious projects, I am making a planter table! This is a ceramic table that doubles as a planter. I wanted to make the most luxurious home for my favorite rubber tree, and a handmade ceramic planter that also works as a ceramic table was the goal!

This was very satisfying to watch! I love the idea of keeping the wood natural because I'm into the whole neutral colour family, so I'd do a a light or translucent wax, idk.
What a beautiful table/planter. Just a fabulous idea! I vote for leaving the wood a light natural color almost the way it looks now.
Great video! Love seeing you work through the problems in real time- it’s much more realistic than a polished and perfect real.
I vote clear stain on the wood. You could paint it several times to change with the seasons and then sand it down again at some point.
That was great!!
Love it! I’d do a natural stain.
I love watching you hand build! Especially since they're such big pieces 😊 I prefer hand building for a variety of reasons, but my pieces are much smaller. You inspire me to step out of that comfort zone 😊
I think you should stain or put a clear coat as it matches the chair. Curious if the pot is only bisque or did you fire to maturity (vitrified). If you said I missed it 🙂
Swedish oil on the wood.
That is pretty neat, I like the way the plant grows out the table top👍
I loved this video so much. I’d paint the wood yellow as close to the raw clay as possible, as a nod to the clay before it was fired. ❤
Oh my god I loveeed the whole process! You are such an inspiration! Please more projects like this 😍 Ps: I think you should stain to wood top and make it more darker but keep the wooden design if that makes sense :))
I would love to see projects such as ceramic lamp base, ceiling lamp, handle holder, stool etc. It would be perfect to watch your process!❤
OK… Mia, I know you say you're not a woodworker, but I am jealous of your mad skillz!
Edit: also, was that just fired once? Left as bisque?
I recommend to color it with colorful colors i think it will be suitable with the plant and the ceramic
Comfiest chair ever
Keep it natural with some linseed oil 😊
Not that it would matter to you, but I wonder how much weight you could stack on the table?
Great video. Because it's wood I would always err on the side of stain. I love the raw furniture types of wood stain that come in so many colors and are more earthy. Maybe a mustard or rust or even a blue.
Ditto to it is a really fun video because you make it look easy, albeit time consuming. I like the oil idea, either linseed or a stain. i like the light contrast.
This turned out so stunning! ❤
I like the natural wood colour so I would just use a water-based poly and protect it.
It's great 😊
Table is cute itself ! Thanks for sharing lots of experience! But you could just make that wooden thing for any planter to make it a table-planter 😂
Pretty cool stuff, nice job!
