RCooper @ thoughtsbyher.com on Dec 04, 2014My father had some side tables and instead of glass, there were marble inserts. Maybe you could find some tile that you like (marble or not) and cut it to fit the insert?Helpful Reply

Jenifer Richardson on Dec 04, 2014Depending on the size of the glass, you could find some old frames at a second hand store that are missing the glass and use them in those! Our Lowes cuts glass to fit fairly inexpensive. As far as the table nice wood on the top, fresh paint of choice, fabric of choice etc new table! So many choices. Also you could combine the two glass pieces into one table, put your favorite pictures in between, update the table, and place it where company mainly sits or as an entryway piece! Ok I'm done😊 Good luck I'm a newbie so still learning. ThanksHelpful Reply

Tracy Jo on Dec 05, 2014I did the glass tops in the paper bag trick too. The only thing is, next time I would use a darker colored paper. It is a fast and easy way to switch out the glass look. When I tire of these I will soak in the tub to remove and try something different.Helpful Reply
