Here is something else that's a little different to add to my gallery. This is a repurposed table that :heart: *deftones1979 :heart: and I made in Fall 2008. Originally it was an old table set purchased from Walmart for around $100. It had a "wooden" (MDF) top and a metal frame. We sanded down the top, added some mortar, tiled, then grouted. I also reupholstered the chairs.

This table is unusual since tiled tables are usually considered outdoor tables. It's great for me though because the cats can't scratch it up and the mess is easy to wipe up.

:flowerpot: The floral arrangement was done by me by purchasing the faux flowers and ivy separately from the urn. It's filled with decorative rock to add weight, so the cats don't tip it over when they have their running fits. It actually looks kinda sad compared to what the arrangement looked like long ago. They've been ripping off the flowers over the years. :noes:

:silentkitty: You may wonder why my cat is in the photo. He wasn't planned, but he was being really annoying about photobombing every picture. So I decided to finally let him model the chairs and show you that they are indeed functional.


Thanks for looking! :thanks:

It was... but it's expensive too. I haven't done any designing since I made this table actually. But I get to move soon so I'll get to work on my new apartment. That will be loads of fun!

Well, you'll have to tell me all about it. I love making new things and art and design in general. :)
