This is a picture mid-project of the table that Mr W and I are tiling. Here, the tiles have been set, but we haven't put the grout on yet, as he was sick over the weekend (poor kid). He stayed home yesterday and will hopefully be back at it today.
This is totally my kind of DIY project. Want to include some glass beads? No problem. They don't fit well? Just put them how you like them. The black and white tiles don't exactly "go" with the iridescent tiles? That's OK, it still looks good.
Up at the top of the bottom photo, it's hard to see, but there are is one regular sized bead set next to one globby, kind of double, bead. Mr W wanted to include it so it didn't feel left out. I thought that was a great sentiment.
The iridescent tile sheets we picked up at Home Depot on sale for $7 each. I LOVE this stuff. I'm looking forward to getting the rest of it done next time the kid is here and will post pictures. I want to include some glass tile in the kitchen redo.
How cool to have this truly unique piece of furniture that you and your son collaborated on!
ReplyDeleteYep! To give you an idea of how long these things sometimes take, I bought the table about 10 years ago, and he helped me paint it when he was still in diapers.
DeleteI love that he didn't want it left out. He is a GREAT kid! What a good job you've done, Linda.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susan. It made my heart do a big "awwww" to hear him say that.
DeleteYou are such a wonderful Mom; I love that he didn't want the bead to feel left out. Great collaboration!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jacqueline. I really liked hearing that sentiment from him. This project makes me want to do more! Maybe I can get some new tools out of it...
