Mosaic Table
Well, believe it or not, I have been working on projects recently like a true artist. This summer I was given a small table that needed a little love. I decided to try something that I have never done before. I went and got some tiles from my local hardware store and then proceeded to smash them to bits. After a lot of hammer-swinging, sweat, and a little blood I had the perfect size tiles for my table. I stained the wood with a dark stain color that went well with the tiles that I had picked out. I used an old mirror that I had and placed it in the center of the table. Then little by little I spread my adhesive and placed my tiles. I also used a mocha colored grout that enhanced the tiles and the darkness of the stained wood. On the side of the table, the grout got a little messy. I think that I have come up with a way to fix this for the next time around so that it could be cleaner and more professional. Overall, I really enjoy this piece and I hope to do more like it.
