The dreaded days of being indoors, always lead to trouble. When it began to snow the other day, I went to the hardware store and invested a few bucks to give our bedroom a facelift. Today I would say it is complete, except for spray painting the ceiling fan bronze which I will have to do on a warmer day.

What a beautiful Day, the kind of day to do a DIY project.
So here goes, the first half: thanks to my friend Marie of Woodland Tiles I have some materials to work with. My ugly metal table will be an art piece by tomorrow.. (I hope)
1. step one, a thin coat of tile cement on the surface.
2. step two a thicker layer applied with a toothed tile trowel
3. place the tiles down before the cement sets, you have about 45 minutes.
4. apply tile cement to the edge of the table.
5. add the finish edge trim
Tomorrow we grout!
