shortly after we married
chup and i decided
the dinning room table
we inherited from a model condo
needed to be more "us"
and less
"model condo."
for years i had saved broken dishes
hoping that the perfect mosaic opportunity
would arise.
and it did.
we spent the first six months of our marriage
working on this table
piece-by-piece.
in the process i gained a
weird fascination for orange county choppers
and more adoration for my husband.
when we finished the project
we had a party
and a
better marriage.
a couple months ago
we decided to get a new dinning table
so chup cut the legs off our mosaic table
and it became our new coffee table.

May we see an aerial view?
Save broken dishes... GENIUS! :-)
I THOUGHT that was the same table. You are a cracked plate genius!
Yeah, can we the table looking down on it? Please please!
I love things like this! So meaningful!
Great DIY project! Beautiful!
woah. fabulous. I love this table (I asked the question)
anyway, I've been wanting to do a mosaic of a table in our home but have no idea where to start. do you know of any good websites that would teach me?
What a great idea! If you ever wanted to get a new coffee table down the road, you could cut all the legs off this one and display it as a 3D art piece in the wall. Mosaics are such beautiful 9 artwork!

I love your DIY projects, and your ability to make things beautiful.
That's fabulous! And what a great (and ongoing) reuse of existing stuff!
I have been planning a mosaic project, in my yard, for years. I love you story of how you did this as a couple--heartwarming.
