This is how it started...plain unfinished cabinet!!
Stained cabinet...a working progress!!
The finished project...beautiful!!
It all started when Daughter #3 moved out and we gave her the table and chairs in our breakfast area. Mr. Husband and I decided instead of buying another table and set of chairs we'd build one. I wanted more storage and he liked the island/table idea, we had seen one at a friend's house...the seed was planted and it grew from there!!
After three trips to three different home improvement stores a cabinet was finally chosen!! The process went something like this:
Monday night: bought and stained the cabinet
Tuesday and Tuesday night: table top was built and tile bought and place on table top
Wednesday night: grout was done
Thursday night: grout drying
Friday: sealer was applied and there you have it a finished island tile top table.
Mr. Husband and I really had fun doing this DIY project together...he did most of the work (he-he)! That's what happens when his work is slow and he has time on his hands!! Now he's decided the kitchen counters and back splash would look good tiled...you go big boy!! I'm all about it!! Could be a very productive winter if work continues to be slow!! :o)
Bootsie is a very happy girl...now we have the task of finding the perfect bar stools to go with our beautiful new table!! Have been to five different places and haven't found the perfect stools yet!! UGH!!
