new project ( outside coffee table made from a pallet)

well this was an interesting project.  i have never really tiled anything before but had seen alot of it on t.v.  i recently went to visit a new friend and was inspired by the coffee table on her back porch.  a mosaic tile topped table made from a pallet.  so, i went to lowes and they gave me a large plastic tote full of tiles that were broken or discontinued for $5.00.  what a deal.  i decided to try to make one and here are the results.


this is what i started with.




still not much to look at.


getting closer now.


almost there.


tada. fini.

i used mastic to stick the tiles down and then used black grout. i chose black because being an outdoor table it won't show the dirt as much.  all that is left to do is seal it.

i had great fun creating this from a pile of junk.

thank you maryann for the inspiration.
