Top Tabletops

Are you bored with your tabletop? Looking to do something outside the box? Need some inspiration? Enjoy answering hypothetical questions? Then you’ve come to the right place.

Does your style lean more toward rustic/traditional? If so, you’re sure to love this makeover by Deb at Lake Girl Paints who freshened up her classic table with a faux wood grain planked look.

Are you more of a quirky soul? Then how about this colorful geometric design that Sarah used to spice up her set? It looks like she replaced the tabletop entirely, but she actually sanded off the original stain and used a circular saw to trim the rounded edges. Much more modern! See it at Squirrel & Puffin.

Does your style lean toward industrial? If you raised your hand, you’re sure to love this one. I call it … Concretia! (If you recognized that movie quote, then congratulations, you are the only other person on earth who has watched The Flintstones movie).

Aimee was unhappy with her mismatched dining set, but didn’t want to subject something new and fancy to daily abuse from her two-year-old twins. So she decided to work with what she had, freshening it up with white paint and a super cool concrete top. Check out her blog The Crazy Craft Lady for a step-by-step!

And finally, for you farmhouse types, here’s a stunning makeover from Jamie. Everybody has seen these ubiquitous tile-top tables, but have you ever seen one with a custom herringbone design glued right over the top? So lovely! The stain is the perfect shade of perfect. See more at Southern Revivals.
