When making the side table ensure that the barrel is completely empty and dry, before taking a chain saw and cutting it in half. Then, turn one half of the barrel upside down. Sanded and coated with a clear varnish, the barrel now is able to be used as a table.
Place a vase, book, or candle on it to make it more attractive. There are some half barrels that are available from selected stores. They are also able to be purchased from a vineyard if there is one in your area.

DIY Upcycled Furniture Ideas: Barstool Desk
A bar stool desk is another item that may be upcycled. Find two bar stools that are not in use, spray paint them in the color of your choice. While the paint is drying on the bar stools, cut the planks that you are going to use as shelves to the required length. Paint them in either a contrast color or the same color as the bar stools.
For the top of your desk, you can use a 20×48” pine panel. After the painting process, attach the pine panel with a 1 ¾” wood screw into the bar stools. Repeat the process to attach the planks to the shelves.
