Christmas Break Project No.3




Christmas break project number 3 ~ giving new life to a 1970's coffee table.  We stripped off the top Formica in the icky gold and brown tones and cleaned up the top so that it can be tiled.


This was fun and dangerous as the top shattered and splintered.  Kenny did require a bandage for his thumb.  




I spent some time pondering over just what look I wanted to go with and it was  a choice between having the square glass tiles on the side, one row or two and if I wanted to also have a row of glass tiles around the top edge to frame in the stones.  I ended up choosing one row of glass tiles around the bottom edge and none on the top.

Always nice to have the dual breaks to spend together. We get a lot done, and have an awesome time! CJ is right, we are good together!
