Affordable Improvements For Table Top

By Mark Taylor

Old kitchen tables can be easily worn out, most particularly the table top. Rather than purchasing another one, why not make several creative works to make it looks good as new? There are also companies who deal with kitchen overhaul. You can ask them some few things on reconstructing your kitchen and also recreating a new look for your kitchen furniture.

You can replace old table top with hard wood, stainless steel, glass, or granite materials, whichever fits with the rest of your kitchen surfaces. You can also try different shapes for the table tops. Round or oval shape has more advantages in kitchen area. Round and oval shapes are safer since these shapes have no sharp corners that can harm you and your kids. You can also easily add space for extra person joining your group.

You can also make a tile table top. Fit the tiles on the table top and cut the extra parts. Utilising a tile file, smooth the rough edge of the tiles. With ceramic adhesives at the back, stick the tiles on the table top. Apply grout on the tiles and into the gaps. Let it settle down for 2 days before putting on a sealer.

You can use fabric to make a new table top look. Cut the cloth that will fit the size of the table top. Using decoupage glue, attach the fabric on the table top. Then, put high-gloss shellac for cloth protective covering. Use tacks or cut glass to frame the fabric on table top.

For your old wood table top, do some refinishings. Grate the old finish with a scraper, then, smooth it with sandpaper. Apply polyurethane coating on the table top. Allow it to dry. Then, apply the second layer of polyurethane coating. Let it dry once more, and then put on the third layer of coating.

Lately, there is a new design for kitchen tables. Apart from its common uses in food preparation, dining, and writing, tables are now designed with integral power points, and possibly even sink with water and drainage outlets. Tables can also be secured to the kitchen floor.
