Modern Console Table

Here’s approximately truth almost my renovations…. I do not know everything I’m going to practice earlier I start! When I made plans for my novel modern entryway, I didn’t know what the blueprint on my characteristic wall was going to be, or what coloring of pigment I would use, or how nosotros would hang our coats, lol. I don’t intend I fifty-fifty considered putting a tabular array inwards there.  But every bit the room came together, it was obvious that something was missing. I looked upwards a few tables, but they were all out of my budget (as everything I dearest is! lol). So nosotros grabbed an onetime console tabular array in addition to gave it approximately DIY love!

So this is the tabular array nosotros started with. Nothing special. I had purchased it a long fourth dimension agone in addition to instantly it was simply sitting behind our couch waiting for a novel home. Any onetime hallway tabular array or entry tabular array amongst an opened upwards infinite would operate for this projection too! But I actually didn’t desire to add together it into the infinite every bit is….

What practice y'all telephone outcry upwards that material? Rattan? I don’t know, but I knew I didn’t desire it inwards the entry. It was the incorrect texture for the space. The coloring was also incorrect – it’s difficult to enjoin inwards the photos, but it’s that browny-black colour, in addition to inwards person, looked brown. Instead I wanted something construct clean in addition to modern to tally the residual of my design plans.

While nosotros were redoing our Tiled Entry Bench, a lite bulb went off! What if nosotros replaced that infinite on the console amongst tile! We had used a beautiful 6×12″ Basalt Tile on the bench, but nosotros had approximately samples of the 4×16 Basalt tiles every bit good – which would fit perfectly….Brilliant! 

How to update a console tabular array amongst tile:

We started past times removing the onetime material, which was backed past times these hardboard pieces, in addition to nosotros kept the hardboard backing.

Next, nosotros cutting our Basalt tile pieces (which were 4×16″), using a moisture saw, to the same size every bit the insert was before. Ours were the perfect width, in addition to then nosotros alone had to cutting the height, but depending on your slice in addition to your tile, y'all may ask to cutting both. Here’s what it looked similar (above) on transcend of the backing hardboard. The holes are where the previous screws were in addition to nosotros thought – why non simply reuse those holes!

Next, nosotros wanted our modern tile to stick out, simply every bit it did on the finished Entry Bench, in addition to then nosotros used an Enhancing Sealer to seal the porous tile in addition to darken the colour. Worked beautifully!

Before nosotros laid upwards to operate returning the tiles to the console, nosotros also spent approximately fourth dimension paradigm the entire article of furniture slice amongst this beautiful rich dark paint (always my go-to for furniture!).

Finally, nosotros lined upwards the tile pieces against the opening of the dark console table, position the hardboard backing inwards place, in addition to screwed it on.

A beautiful tile projection that doesn’t require whatsoever grout or thinset! What could hold upwards better! This projection has me inspired amongst in addition to then many other tile ideas – or perhaps simply approximately other hallway table, lol. I promise y'all got approximately inspiration too!

LOVE the finally await of the tile inwards place. Ties inwards amongst the residual of the Modern Entry perfectly, in addition to gives the beautiful construct clean lines I was hoping for inwards a console!

Here is the beautiful TILED ENTRY BENCH that I mentioned before!

These projects were both business office of our beautiful MODERN ENTRY REVEAL!
