Transform your old glass patio table into a stunning focal point with a makeover. Consider painting the frame a fresh coat of color, adding a mosaic design to the tabletop, or replacing the glass with a more durable and stylish material like tile or wood.
What a cute and easy little makeover from Metal and Mud! These white tables with the tempered glass are pretty ubiquitous and boring, but I love how with a coat of paint, and the addition of a cut to size piece of oilcloth (over the glass and set recessed under the metal edging of the table) the whole thing is much more interesting.
Make a visit to Metal and Mud for more details and images.
Start by cleaning the surface with a glass cleaner. Then, apply a new coat of paint or stain—make sure you use Rustoleum or other metal paint for good adhesion and to seal in any damage from water. Don’t be afraid to go for a bright color for a fresh look. Finally, add a protective sealant to keep your table looking great for years to come.
such a big improvement! you could almost use any outdoor fabric! yet another fantastic idea! thanks.
