During the fishing derby my hubby stopped shaving and he said he wasn't going to shave again until the kitchen floor was done...I had started calling him "Man Mountain Mike" and now he has shaved his grizzly Adamness again :)
Here is a pic of the tiles and the best part to me is that we did it ourselves :)
so I covered the table top with some old vintage fruit fabric....painted the legs and sides.....then tossed a few of my vintage ads on top of the fabric and placed a piece of glass on top of it all. Because of the glare on the glass I don't think the pics turned out all that well...but just wanted to share the idea in case anyone else out there has an old piece of furniture with a damaged or marred top.....yes you can cover it in one of your favorite fabrics....and then purchase a piece of glass to place on top of it. Since I work in a furniture store....I normally have access to nab spare glass tops at random LOL! but this table was a bit of an odd size for the glass I had on hand and our local mom and pop hardware store "Floyd's"....actually only charged $39.99 for this glass topper which is actually thicker than a lot of the beveled ones available in my furniture catalogs. I was actually quite impressed with the price of the glass :)
hope ya'll are having a great month so far :)
Yes, the satisfaction we get from 'DIYing' home projects. :D Anyway, this is the same type as the tiles most homeowners prefer. And they can testify how low maintenance these truly are. The perks of having earth-toned flooring. And you will notice in the years to come, the tiles will seem to radiate more when matched with distressed furniture. Robbie@TNT
