I have been wanting to make this table over for a while. It is a little tile top cottage style table bought in the early 90's. Still stuck in the early 90's, it needed a makeover. I had originally thought I would paint the legs but that just wasn't enough of a change.
I have always wanted a plank table. I was in the shed the other day trying to imagine some leftover lumber turned into a plank table. But, then I realized if I removed the top of the tile table I would have the base for my plank top table. So we removed about a dozen screws and the tile top. Then we placed two pine panels in their place and I had my plank table.
Here the top is stained. I used a walnut stain.
I roughed up the legs even more than the kids have with the orbital sander.
Wanting to make the wear more pronounced, I glazed the legs to age them with Valspar glaze in mocha.
Here is the finished table. I will work on the chairs next.
Just look at the plank goodness!

I just found your blog. I have a similar table and REEEEALLY want to copy you. Did you seal the table with anything? I have a lot of kids and this will get heavy heavy use. Just wondering if it's hard to keep clean.
So lovely! Just gorgeous! I just refinished my tabletop with exposed hardwood this week too! Its on my blog if your interested.
This is beautiful! What a great job!! What color did you paint the legs?? Love it!

Wow! I am so glad you joined my party. Your table turned out great. I love seeing something that good, useful pieces given a fresh new look. You hit a home run with this one. It looks so much better. Those tile tables used to be all the rage. Several of my friends had them and I thought they were wonderful. And now they just seem dated. You made the re-do look so easy.
Beautiful! This turned out great.
You did a WONDERFUL job on a "not-so-wonderful" table. Did yourself proud !!
This was a terrific makeover. I really like what you did with the table. Keep up the good work. I enjoyed your site.
Oh my goodness! I saw this on MMS and can't believe what you did with this table. I am bookmarking it! Wow, just wow.
Christa
What a beautiful transformation!
What exact brand and color stain did you use? I want to use that on my table! It's really pretty.
The top is stained with a walnut stain.
Sherry
Minwax Special walnut 224. I bought it in 2010. They should still sell it.
Sherry
Thank you! I actually was looking at that one!
I want to do this to my tile top dining table. Can I get more info on how you did the top? You said you used two panels. Two panels of what? The pictures look like its all one piece.
I want to redo my tile top too. You say you used two panels but the pics look like the top is all one piece. Can you explain a little more about how you did the top and what wood you used?
Stacy,
The two pieces of pine are 20 inches wide x 48 inches wide. We bought them already cut and unfinished at Lowes.
