Do you have a boring patio table and issues with suppressed rage? I can help with both! Here’s what you do: first, buy a bunch of colorful plates from the thrift store. Then go to town on expressing your inner inferno of fury by smashing them to shards! Finally, have a seat at the table for a peaceful session of mosaic-making using the broken pieces. There now, don’t you feel better?
From Better After reader Amanda, who doesn’t actually have anger issues, but she sure does have a great table!

October 24, 2011 at 3:17 AMFantastic! I’ve been looking for before&afters of this. My coffee table needs a makeover – I’m always putting hot teapots and drinks on it without coasters, so this is perfect! Awesome blog, very inspirational, thanks.
