unexpected fun

eating meals has never been more fun around our house.
but then again, in between the meals is pretty fun too.
and homework will never be the same.
we owe it all to one simple thing - our table top.

with three kids constantly crafting, homeworking, cooking, etc. our kitchen table was taking quite a beating. our wooden table top was not pretty.
we don't have a formal dining room - just this table - but i'd like for it to look nicer than a dog's chew toy. it just looked rough.
i mentioned to a friend in passing that i'd seen a metal table top in a magazine....
i came home one day from work and i there was a new metal table top on our table!
(did i mention that our friend is a sheet metal worker?)
it was custom fit to the exact dimensions with softly rounded corners welded neatly into place.
but...
the best part was when i found out that dry erase markers could be used on the surface!
life takes on new meaning when you can write on your table!




such an unexpected creative outlet!
want to do this to your table? call your local trade school to find someone who can do this for you!
i'd love to hear about it if you do! you won't regret it!

I love your table top! So great. I hate having to worry about a dining table top (and I don't; ours is a beat-up Craigslist find). Yours is so stylish! Need to find a sheet metal worker friend...

Absolument. Parfois, le meilleur exercice de l'écriture pour moi est d'écrire un blog de ​​mémoire - il desserre les articulations, pour ainsi dire. Je ferais bien de s'en souvenir plus souvent ...

This table is just grand! But beyond the metal surface... or the imaginative twist of drawing on it... I like its length and that it gives a peek into sure-to-be loud-and fabulous dinners at it. No one as creative as you would have a table that long and long-loved without many many raucous, creative meals shared around it. Congratulations on having a home filled with such a sense of wonder and creativity.

I had to refresh the page 2 times to view this page for some reason, however, the information here was worth the wait.

All restaurants should do this, don't you think??? We could all entertain ourselves while waiting for our food and we'll use less paper. :-)

what a great idea. In this way, with simple things it will become more and more memorable.

Hi!

I've been away from the blogosphere for awhile... Been traveling to Paris, France among other things. But I'm back now and I'm checking in on you. Congrats on your race!

And this surprise table top? To die for!
