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.
