Table top project

Well here's the thing. We moved into a house back last November. Everything has been great and we love our little house. I found bar stools I loved from Sam's of all places and totally go with my stuff and are my style. Well, I've been needing a table for our breakfast nook. We have built in benches in the nook and needed the "perfect" table to go right in the middle.. Well of course I'm set on a certain table although its weird cuz I really don't know it until I see it. Does that make sense? I definitely wanted pedestal but wanted to maximize the table top experience; ) Anyways.. all that to say that once again the furniture world didn't have exactly what I wanted in my budget... So... My mom and I decided, with the help of my wonderful talented mom, we'd make what I wanted. I won't go into detail.. which is sad because all this is actually not detailed for me. We bought a table base and constructed a table top. I'm putting tavertine all over the table top with a design layed out in little white marble tiles that look like sugar cubes. The tavertine is broken up and put all around my marble design that I layed out. Sounds easy but after I put the marble design down.. now its a huge puzzle. The puzzle is getting to me... but I've discovered that I don't like working on puzzles all by myself.. its like a game.. who wants to play a game all by themselves( I'm not a solitaire person)... so boring. I keep going over to the puzzle and walking away cuz its overwhelming. Its already looking awesome though but I want to be done with it. You will all be jealous but I'm telling you.. to do this stupid table again... I'd charge for all my expertise, experience and love! ha ha.. and dang its hard work... when I get it all layed out how we want... then you have to seal it with a quality sealer. You have to let that be for like 72 hours and then... you get to stick it down piece by piece... then let that sit for a couple days. then we can grout it... I'm crazy cuz I haven't even got it all layed out yet! But hey, once again in life... I'll just take my sweet time. Sorry for the random blog... I hope you all learned something either about table tops or just about me... Either is beneficial in life I'm sure!
