Mosaic Makers

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!

Dina’s Dresser Destiny

This dresser didn’t know it, but it was about to become the perfect changing table. It already had about a million (ok 12) tiny drawers just the right size for itty-bitty baby clothes. And it was as sturdy as an ox too. All it needed was a little color. And some cute striped knobbies. And some fun polka dot paper inside the drawers. And then it was just right!

From Dina at Honey + Fitz.

Optimist Illusion

Rachel didn’t love her kitchen, but she loved every second of redoing it! How strange! Usually people are like, “I almost cut off both hands and wanted to kill my husband and vomited daily, but it was all worth it!”

Nope, Rachel loved it so much she almost considered moving so she could do it again.

Rachel is a glass half-full kind of gal. Check out her lighter and brighter kitchen up close on her blog Home Sweet and Savory. I like that title, it makes me think of the ‘before and after’ category on Wheel of Fortune!

Trash to Tray

Megan from Vintage Hydrangeas couldn’t pass up this table when she found it sitting near the dumpsters of her apartment complex. So she hauled it home and left it on her front porch, waiting for inspiration to strike. Inspiration eventually struck in the form of “gee, maybe we should get this thing out of plain view of the neighbors who threw it away,” and she hauled it in with a plan.

The plan was to recreate a Pottery Barn like tray, without the Pottery Barn pricetag. I’d say mission accomplished!

And what a fun little bonus, finding that logo imprinted on the underside. Neato! Thanks Megan!

Purple Pain, Purple Pain

Need a little jolt of excitment to spice up your afternoon? How about casting your eyes on a purple velvet couch makeover?

Brittany found this dusty relic at Goodwill for a mere $15 and said sayonara to the southwestern stripes with a plush purple. She literally put her blood, sweat and tears into it as she allegedly stapled through her finger with a high-pressure staple gun in the process. Yeowtch! All worth it in the end though!

See in on her blog Stephen and Brittany.

Breakfast Club

Uggh, I don’t feel so good. I recently tried my hand at couponing, therefore I started buying a lot of foods I don’t normally buy, therefore I had a Toaster Strudel and Cinnamon Toast Crunch for breakfast, which is waaaay to much sugar for me, therefore my hands can barely type right now.

Speaking of breakfast, check out Amanda’s new breakfast nook below! I’m not even sure if it’s really a breakfast nook, but I thought that would segue nicely. Oh, snap. I just reread her blog. It IS a breakfast nook. Kismet. Check it out on Amanda’s Adorables.
