My parents brought me this coffee table~ so sweet!
I thought that playing around with it would be easy enough, just switch out the 8'' tiles.
The problem is, that nobody sells 8'' tiles anymore.
I bought a sheet of 3/4'' mdf and turned it into this:
I made sure they all fit nicely before painting.
I found a free vector design that I liked.
I printed them in vinyl and stuck them to the boards
{{easier said than done, that was A.L.O.T of weeding}}
{{easier said than done, that was A.L.O.T of weeding}}
Thoughts? Is it too busy? The platters calm it down,
but I can't keep them there with 5 little ones running around.
If it starts to drive me crazy, I'll flip the boards over and try a different design.

I think it's very chic, and very fun! (I can just imagine how long that weeding took you! :D) It is pretty busy - what about putting a collection of books, or a floral arrangement on it? Just to break it up? Either way, I love the make-over! Very clever!
ReplyDeleteI dont think its too busy at all, quite lovely! If you wanted to though you could do a more muted print in the center or even a solid color :0) Very very creative!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun project. Lots of work on that vinyl. Trying flipping over every other one to see if that tones it down a bit. Love the design though.
ReplyDeletethis really caught my eye since we have the bar height table that's the companion piece. it's busy but fun for a family room piece. such a creative idea. now what can i do with our tall table? thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHow cool! x
ReplyDeleteWow!!!! That is awesome! I love black and white... so stunning! Very original!
ReplyDeleteYou did an awesome job.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love this! Not too busy, just too cool!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I really like it, but I think it might be a bit busy. Maybe make the print bigger? I love the negative on every other tile. It's great!
ReplyDelete"A.L.O.T of weeding" is obviously the biggest understatement of 2011 thus far.
ReplyDeleteThe question is do you love it?
ReplyDeleteI think you are going to get all sorts of opinions.
Yours is the only one that matters it will be in your home after all.
It's definitely a statement piece.
I personally love it! It is something I would have in my home.I think a red tray would look amazing on it.
Oh.... I like it. Great vision, you work with wood like I work with fabric!
