Maybe I am Martha Stewart.
As posted below, I went over to Mom's to help with some handyperson work this morning.
My project was to prime, paint and tile the top of this old end table. To make it look wonderful. Well here is what I had to work with.

Nice sturdy, solid piece of wood. But a mess, right?
Well, after priming it, painting it and gluing on the tile, this is what was left......

omg that looks GREAT! You are hired! You should do that for a side job!
Looks as good in the picture as it does in person!!.Fun day and thanks, honey!
Love, Mom
I love it! Great Job
