Our Kitchen Ceramic & Mosaic Tile Table
Wendy and I needed a kitchen tile table for our new house and after
reviewing a fair number of overpriced kitchen sets that didn't do it for us,
we decided to design and build our own, using
some ceramic tile and mosaic tile.
We got a lot of great help from ScottL at "A World of Tile" who after
reveiwing what we wanted, helped us pick out some nifty ceramic and
mosaic tiles. After numerous contortions, it is shown below - Wendy has been
on Africa safari's several times and loves the animals.
Her Dad Larry, visited in early July/1998 to see Dirk, reviewed our plans,
provided a "how to tile your table" direction,
and assisted us in converting our kitchen tile table design
into reality with the mosiac and ceramic tile.

NOTE: The mosaic ceramic tile accents are acid etched ... but we had to paint
in the etching to get a darker color ... that's where Alek got the
nickname "Michelangelo" ;-)
So know you know how to tile a table!
