Diy: Fake Marble Tabular Array Top

This weekend I did a piffling makeover (IKEA hack really) on our one-time DOCKSTA tabular array that was looking a piffling dingy.  We've had that tabular array for over 5 years I intend (maybe 7) as well as the superlative was showing it, definitely inwards stains, scuffs as well as dings.  So I know this is to a greater extent than of a temporary solution equally I don't know how long this volition last, but whatever it is, it's a big improvement over what nosotros had.  Check out my earlier as well as after:

It's difficult to encounter the stains inwards the moving-picture present (but trust me they're there), as well as aye I switched out the kitchen chairs amongst the dining ones (they but seemed to desire to live together afterward this - as well as nosotros don't accept a dining tabular array anyway yet).  We promise to construct a nook type banquette eventually hither amongst mayhap fifty-fifty a existent tulip tabular array 1 twenty-four lx minutes menses (dream).

My how-to? I used faux marble contact paper!  I know (pretty temporary) but I powerfulness buy a drinking glass superlative to comprehend it, or when it does get-go to tegument (er, um melt), I'll but lay roughly novel stuff!  (I was inspired past times Catherine Therrien's projection inwards April's Style at Home where she used washi tape). Laying it was super tricky as well as mensuration it was worse, equally anyone who has 1 of these tables knows, it's super heavy; hence to flip over to line out a overnice circle was non going to happen.  But basically I but placed the newspaper (design human face upward down) as well as and hence traced amongst a pencil the circle that way.  And as well as hence applied!  The newspaper I picked upward (Grip-Tac) was pretty bubble proof hence actually no bubbles to live had, but the ones that did appear I popped amongst a pin.  And that was it.  My imitation marble tabular array top! (Psssst! I sort of desire to marbelize everything now).
