Let tile the kitchen...

I have always loved tile backsplashes in kitchens. My husband and I had talked about it maybe once until one day a friend informed me that Home Depot was having a sale on glass tile, $4.99 per square foot. So my husband and I stopped by and picked up two boxes and thought we would give it a try.

I am in love with the way it turned out.

So I really wanted to do a project this past weekend and then I remembered I had bought 2 table cloths when I was reupholstering the dining room chairs. I only used one, so I decided to use the second one on the China Cabinet.
Here is the before.


I couldn’t take the back of the cabinet off because it had big staples instead of screws,
so I cut the table cloth into 6 pieces after measuring the spaces in the cabinet.


Next I attached the table cloth with (believe it or not) double sided tape. I didn’t want to use anything permanent.
After putting everything back, here is the finished project.

My Version of “Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall.”

I saw this project and fell in love with it. I needed something in our guest bedroom. Here is how mine turned out.
