I am seeking suggestions for rehabbing a 1990's dining set. It's in like new condition! The table base and chair frames are tubular metal - painted high gloss black. The chairs have padded black velour cushions. I plan to make slipcovers for the chairs and paint the metal parts. The table top is black glass. What can I do with that glass top besides replacing it with wood? Thanks! The decor is casual tropical - not beachy. Aloha from Hawaii!

  • How about paint the glass? Perfect backdrop for whatever you choose - freehand or stencil.

    My idea would be to add foil to the underside so it would pick up any light going and look very interesting. Multi colour or one - randam or pattern or You could cover top with Mirror Tiles forming a Mosaic......

    Make a wooden top for the table like pallet wood, cause it would be pretty hard to change it being black. Paint would chip, foil or window film wouldn't be visible from below the glass. You could also maybe put a thin metal top in, maybe check out the recycle yard and then get someone to cut it for you. If you decide to go with metal, you could also check out local HVAC companies as when they strip old ACs they have large panels of metal.

    you could try glass etching a beautiful design on the glass but it is permanent so think about what design you can live with.
