Mosaic Makers
Mar 10, 2011
If you think that cutting out, placing and grouting tons of tiny tile scraps to make a mosaic over an old table is a lot more work than simply re-painting one, let me set the record straight. You're right. But woo, doesn't it look nice!? Check out the following tiled beauties:
Caitlin from Caits Creates redid a boring table with pre-cut sheets of tile and the help of her mom! I love how it turned out! This also seems like a good way of protecting your tables if say, you own an eating establishment, or also if you own small children.

Better After reader Danielle just happens to work as a designer in a tile showroom, so she had access to lots of scraps and broken tiles. I bet if you asked nicely, your local showroom would share some of their scraps too. Danielle turned this $10 Goodwill sewing table a nifty nautical number!

And finally, Chris (aka the Mum) from Meg and Mum's took what I would have guessed to be some kind of barbecuing apparatus and worked her mosaic magic! Fantastic! I don't know much about making mosaics, but I do know you can make your own tile pieces by smashing old plates, the more colorful the better. Yet another reason to head to Goodwill!

squeee! that table with the boats on it makes me happy! :)
Good job everybody -- that's a ton of work but so pretty!
I love the barbecue table! I'd never have the patience to work with all those little tiles, but all these ladies did an amazing job!
Wow I like that! Got me thinking, but worried I can't pull it off. I love the pattern on the last one.
Oh I am so glad you posted this. I just found a table that is missing the glass insert and I have been wanting to try mosaic.
Thanks for featuring me! All of these tables look awesome :)
Super cool ideas! I can't imagine how many hours that took!
These are all beautiful!
Thanks for featuring me as well the other two are gorgeous! I love the colors in the last one!
Thanks for featuring my Mum's table Lindsey! I'm trying to steal this one off her. :)
