Jake dreams of making fine furniture and I wanted a cool looking outdoor table, so we teamed up on our first furniture making project to make a table for the porch with a tiled top! The tiles are talavera tiles from Mexico. This is not a fine piece of furniture, but we do think it turned out pretty well for an outdoor table. In fact we were so inspired that we went back to the tile store to pick out tiles for 2 side tables that we will make out of the leftover piece of plywood.
Also at the tile store were ceramic knobs decorated with all sorts of designs. We bought a bunch of those to put on the drawers in the kitchen. The kitchen cabinets and drawers had no knobs. It was a nice sleek look, but the cabinets aren't all that new and it is much easier to pull the drawers out now that they have knobs! One set of drawers has a flower theme, another vegetables, and a third butterflies, birds and fish.

Beautiful table. I can see that Sylvan's fine taste is starting to rub off on Jake. We'd like to order a similar table with French blue tiles. Please send by Aug 1.
