The other thing is a project I recently undertook. I refinished our coffee table because the top was rather beat up from years of abuse. I've painted it but it still needs some help because the wood filler wasn't sanded down that well and it gets used as a dinner table almost every night so water and food landing on it is inevitable. I was thinking first of tiling it but realized that may become rather expensive and very time consuming.
My next thought was that I could use an acrylic bar top coating over some river rocks. This may be relatively economical and look quite stunning. This is a picture of some grey/black river rocks that I picked up at Target to test out. 5 lbs of rocks does not seem to go very far! But I'm still debating it. My hubs isn't sure about the boarder I would need to create in order to keep the acrylic from over flowing. If I can work out a way that I could use the boarder but then take it off once the acrylic has solidified that may be even better.
Finally, I think the house needs more greenery. I have shyed away from it in the past because of all the animals in our house but I'm hoping that it may help filter the air a bit more to give a fresh smell. Maybe I'm completely crazy but I think it will help. This is my first plant idea.
