Well I HATE my kitchen table. You might ask, "why did jami buy a kitchen table that she hates?" Well the answer is that I didn't buy it...I moved into our rental house, and it was left there by the previous renters. We didn't have a kitchen table, so I was forced to "make do" with the one left to me. Anyways, I hate the table, as a matter of fact I would purposly leave a mess on the table just so I didn't have to look at it! It was a good sturdy table, but I just hated the tile top, it was so hard to clean! Anyways, I went to drop off some flowers at someones house today, and THEIR table was so cute! It was just what I wanted, so I asked her, "where did you get that?", she said "I painted it!" So I told her about my table, she gave me a great idea! I should take the tiles out, and put stripes of wood in them, and then paint the whole thing! So I decided that I would do that...when I got sometime. So I came home, and Grace went down for her nap, and spencer left to go and help his dad. I was just sitting there, and all of the sudden I realized "TIME"...SO I got a hammer out, and started on my table! I thought for sure the noise would wake grace...BUT it didn't. So I was banging away on the table...chips of tile were flying everywhere, so I got spencers safty googles from chemistry! He came home, and looked at me like I was a crazy person. He said "what are you doing"...I said "fixing my table"...he said "it isn't ours"...I said "they shouldn't have left it...and they will like it better when I am done"! So this is my table...and this is me...may I add that these are extremly ugly pictures of myself (nothing like a picture of tell you what you really are!).

Nice. So what color are you going to paint it?
Awesome! I love DIY stuff. Way to just attack the table! You have to show pictures of the after too.
You are so funny Jami! The table didn't look that bad to me. You are so creative though I know it'll look awesome when you're done.
Oh my, aren't you a clever girl? Er..woman...
It is coming along nicely. And your valentine's day flowers were AMAZING. If I lived there I'd have hired you to make some for me...
I can't wait to see the finished product! Please post pictures when you're all done... It looks like it has lots of potential!
you're so adventerous! I can't wait to see the finished product.
You go girl! Can't wait to see what it looks like when your done! Is it going to be black?
I started on my table (that Susan left for us) like 2 years ago and NEVER finished! Last week we decided to bite the bullet and just buy a new one!
Ooh, I can't wait to see the end result. You are always so creative.
I am SO Proud of you Jami!! I know you have hated that table since the day you laid eyes on it. You are much braver than I am. Let me know if you need help painting.
Oh and P.S. - Thanks for the dressing...YUM!
Jami! I can't believe you! Well, actually I can. Way to tackle the project! My favorite part is the shop safety glasses.
whatever...only YOU would look cute in chemisty goggles and make flying tile shrapnel look fun!
