Self Project : Refurbished Kitchen Table

Hello, our Dear Reader, how are you doing? Hope you're all doing great, sorry if we haven't been able to post new articles for such a long time. We've been busy with our work and our everyday routine. Today I just want to share our experience about making a new furniture from a refurbished material.

Three beautiful cabinet door


We have this 3 beautiful looking cabinet door from our latest client. Her cabinet broke down so she decided to change it with a new one made from aluminum. She said to bring the 3 remaining cabinet door with me, why not I think. These doors are still in good condition. I then took it home, keep them to rest for a couple of week until I have some free time and decide what to do with them.


Left over plywood.





Since my wife has her own business, which involve cookies, she needed a bigger space to work. She asks me if I can make a bigger table with some cabinet attached. And I said why not using the stuff we had. As a contractor I usually had many left over materials such as plywood, paints, nails and ceramic tiles.

The base for the table and cabinet.

I designed the table so that the top part can be removed from the cabinet. Maybe you wonder why I do that? Because if someday we have to move to another house, it will be easier to pack. As for the cabinet, I made it with 2 shelves, it can be accessed back and forth.

After finishing the table top with ceramic tile.

My wife often does some photo shoot for her products, and she usually needed a background for those, so I cover the table with white non-glossy ceramic tiles. It will make the table look neat and bright without reflecting too much light. I just glued the ceramic tiles to the board and after that, fill the grout so it looked more spacious. I repaint the cabinet door and the rest of the table with dark brown color so it will create a good contrast with the top part.

So as you can see, this is the end result of the table. Hope this can be an inspiration for you all.

    1. Tidak perlu pakai semen, cukup dengan lem sealent yang untuk kaca aquarium. Lalu nat keramiknya di isi dengan nat biasa, agar kotoran tidak masuk ke sela-sela keramik.

      Hanya saja pastikan konstruksi meja sudah kuat sehingga bagian atas meja tidak bisa melendut. Apabila bagian atas meja melendut (melengkung),keramiknya bisa saja terlepas atau pecah.
