A few months ago I wrote about how I changed the look of this table<\/a> by adding a piece of decorative paper under the glass. \u00a0The piece of paper was actually scrapbook paper, and I selected it because it contained items, like a passport, postcard, Eiffel Tower “fauxto”, etc. \u00a0It fit in with our interests. \u00a0When the Young House Love<\/em> book came out, and doing this was one of their many projects, I knew I was on the right track.<\/h3>\n

I was getting a little tired of that particular look, so recently when I was at the craft store, I picked up another sheet of scrapbook paper. \u00a0I think this one cost me all of 59 cents. \u00a0I picked it because it looks like teeny mosaic tiles. \u00a0I know it’s fake, but I think faux sounds more expensive<\/del>\u00a0better, don’t you? It makes it sound as if it at least cost $1.00.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

All I had to do was cut the paper down to size, remove some nails from the table, replace the existing paper with a new sheet, and put it back together. \u00a0BAM!<\/h3>\n

Ta-dah!!!!! \u00a0Doesn’t it look great??? \u00a0I have to laugh to myself, because the difference is amazing.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Doesn’t it look like real mosaic? \u00a0And the thing is, since it is under glass, you can’t feel it. \u00a0So, I think people will just assume it’s mosaic and textured.<\/h3>\n

This sweet little table once belonged to Mr. Autumn’s aunt. \u00a0It was one in a set of stacking tables. \u00a0It works perfectly in our great room, and is a nice place to set a drink. \u00a0I made sure of that because when I inserted the last sheet of paper last spring, I only put three little tacks in it to hold it together, and you know what happened. \u00a0Right. \u00a0It fell out once. \u00a0Well, have a good day. \u00a0I’m going to get a cup of tea and give our new faux mosaic table a test-drive.<\/h3>\n

Take care.<\/h3>\n
