End Table Rescue!
I found this little table/magazine rack and thought it was too good to pass up. Not to mention, it was FREE!
Ordinarily I would just throw it out but something about it caught my eye and reminded me of a project I saw online.

This sad little table was begging for a make-over.
A closer look at the poor, pitiful table before the magic begins.
From the time I found my inspiration online, I started looking for the perfect plates to use as tile. I lucked out with this 10-piece set for $3.
I took the table apart, sanded it down and applied 2 coats of white paint.
Next, it was time to break out the cool tile cutting tool.
As I cut out each piece, I laid them out on my work table to keep the pattern flowing.
I put the table back together and started the task of laying out each tile into the pattern the best filled the oval tabletop.
Next I used tile adhesive to glue down each plate piece into place.
Once the tile was in place and the grout dried, I decided the table should be painted yellow to make the daisies stand out so I added yellow paint, light brown glaze and finished off with a poly finish for durability.
