I’ve been working on my outdoor space this year. Last month I made some DIY Subway Tile Planters and a privacy screen out of old doors that were sitting in my garage.

I had an outdoor table in my yard that was very weathered and worn. And since I am working on my tiling skills (I bought a tile saw last month too), I wanted to update that table with a subway tile top!

And actually, this is a very fast project! All you need is a table, some subway tile, molding, spray paint, adhesive and grout and a tile saw. Tile saws are actually less than you might expect. I bought mine for under $100 from Lowe’s.

**Here’s the tip when cutting subway tile. Cut the tile upside down, with the back facing up. That way you don’t chip the edge of the tile with the saw. It took me awhile to figure this out!

**Another tip — always wear safety goggles. The tiles chip and little pieces of tile fly all over the place.

So here is how I made the table top:

  • I took the original table and added a thin sheet of plywood to the top. I screwed that down. I prefer screws to nails because they are less likely to pop back up later as the furniture wears.

**And another tip — your local hardware store probably has a big saw. I asked Lowes if they would cut the plywood to fit and they were happy to. Just go in with the exact dimensions and this will save you a lot of time!!

  • The next thing I did was I added some molding around the edges of the table.

  • Then I laid out the tile on the table. I decided to add a row of full-size subway tile around the outside and then mini-subway tiles to the inside of the table.
  • Once I did this, I could see how many tiles I needed to cut to complete the top of the table.
  • Then I cut the tiles.
  • I added the adhesive to the plywood with a trowel and put down the tiles. The adhesive takes a little while to set, so you have time to move the tiles around and get them all situated.
  • Then let the table sit overnight to let the adhesive dry.

  • The next day I added the grout. You need a grout float tool for this, to smoosh the grout into the spaces. Once the grout is applied, you can start cleaning the excess off with a big sponge. If you wait too long, then the grout sets up and you have to scrub the grout off of the tiles.
  • After 24 hours, if there is still a film of grout residue, you can clean the tiles with a special spray.
  • And that is it!! Now I have a new table. And best of all — it looks new and it was an inexpensive way to add a beautiful piece to my outdoor decor!!

Plus — working with these two subway tile projects has helped get my sills ready for a BIG subway tile kitchen project, coming up soon!!!

Yay! I love learning new things!!

    Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with
    hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended
    up losing months of hard work due to no backup. Do you
    have any methods to protect against hackers?

    I would actually like to take this project, making over a table with the subway tile. Another DIY project that I would like to get done is to make new outdoor cushions for our outdoor seating. Just waiting to find some outdoor fabric for a good price.

    I have a small back yard that I need to re-do make it “usable”? It’s totally an empty space and I would love to put a set of outdoor furniture there. I also plant to dig out a few old plants on the side walk at the entrance way, then do concrete to make it wider. It’s quite a project but I think it’ll look really nice afterwards. I can totally use some helps from Lowe’s!

    Walking through Lowe’s gives me TONS of ideas for repurposing items. We used trash can lids for ceiling light fixtures in our recently remodeled basement with an industrial theme (painted all the floorboards black which cut the cost DRASTICALLY from having drywall hung or a drop ceiling installed!)

    August 3, 2012 at 9:00 AM

    We are getting ready to purchase a home. To make it in our price range, it’s going to have to be a fixer upper. A Lowe’s gift card would be heaven sent!

    If we win the Lowes gift card we are going to use it to buy tons of pvc pipe, silver tarps, and silver duct tape to build a huge UFO for Halloween in our yard. If there is any money left (I’m sure there will be, Lowes has great prices) I would put the rest to making a tile back splash behind the stove. LOVE the post and I’m a sucker for tile!

    July 31, 2012 at 8:05 AM

    July 30, 2012 at 3:45 PM

    I would love to do subway tile under the breakfast bar, where my three boys have turned it into a mess of food spills and dirty feed marks! Tile would be so much easier for me to keep clean than a painted wall!

  140. Natalie Chambers says

    July 30, 2012 at 2:04 PM

    LOVE the tile table. This would be cool for an indoor backsplash on a waterfall or a stove. I saw someone do this on “this old house” once. they did multiple colors though. I LOVE the classic white.

    July 30, 2012 at 12:01 PM

    I would love to tackle our guest room. It is so sad, only a bed. It could use some curtains, a headboard, some wall hangings, so much stuff. Lowe’s would be perfect for creating that headboard it so desperately needs!

    We’re slowly re-doing our kitchen so I’d put the Lowe’s card to good use either adding a backsplash or a plank wall in the kitchen!

  169. Jessica F. says

    July 30, 2012 at 11:54 AM

    We are in the process of buying a house built in 1898! Main floor needs major cosmetic updates! I love Lowes and have already begun planning using the tools on their site. This card would help the projects begin!

  180. Allison C says

    July 30, 2012 at 11:08 AM

    I need to paint yet another room in our new house. Right now it has ugly green matte and gloss stripes. I’m hoping a couple coats of paint will remove the layer difference. We plan on making it our “game room”, but I have a feeling it will become an office and/or potential guest room if we have a kid. Now it is a room with boxes and I would love to see it rid of boxes!

  181. Amy Bounds says

    July 30, 2012 at 11:06 AM

    Your table turned out beautifully! What a transformation and I love the bi-fold door screen too…so cool! We are attempting to remodel the kitchen in my ‘vintage’ house and will be using tile to refinish my counter tops and create a back-splash, if I’m lucky and another counter top solution appears then plan B includes a decorative tiled back-splash…either way, that $100 card would come in handy!

    I would love to do more work in our front yard/flower beds. I got out there and weeded/mulched last weekend, but now it needs more plants or planters!! Plue we have a couple easy fix items that need to get done around the house. I could certainly find plenty to do with $100!

  294. Jenna W says

    July 30, 2012 at 7:28 AM

    Very pretty! Just a warning though, I did something similar to this a few years ago and it didn’t survive the winter very well (I’m in Missouri). I hope yours survives better than mine!

  309. Katie says

    July 30, 2012 at 6:59 AM

    I would put it towards the ever growing expenses in painting and fixing the exterior of my house.

  310. Leea says

    July 30, 2012 at 6:55 AM

    I did some massive organizing/purging this summer while on break from work (school). The only room that is not painted done is my bedroom. I have other DIY projects for the classroom too. Thanks for the chance!

    BTW, the Pinterest link doesn’t actually take me to a board I can follow and a search didn’t turn up what I needed either. I follow Lowes on Pinterest, does that work?

    July 30, 2012 at 6:46 AM

    Jen,
    Your new tile topped table looks great.
    I have a tile saw and just love it, it makes cutting tile so much easier but mine is a wet saw that I’ve had a couple of years. It has cut many. many tiles, don’t know what I’d do without it.

  318. Eve says

    July 30, 2012 at 6:46 AM

    Wow- I love how it turned out! Id like to do something similar. I’ve been meaning to create a nicer space outside and I think that this fall I might finally do something.

  319. jengd says

    July 30, 2012 at 6:42 AM

    It’s an easy one but we really need to paint my craft room. Catch is that the room is full of furniture and it’s not going to be easy to get to the walls.

  320. Melissa @ Little Raindrops says

    July 30, 2012 at 6:41 AM

    Beautiful! I can’t wait to find a suitable table and try this for myself. Thanks!!

  321. Susan says

    July 30, 2012 at 6:41 AM

    Beautiful. My BF did this to her kitchen table with sunflower tiles. It’s so gorgeous. Also when you do tile the kitchen, I saw on Pinterest they put the outlets under the cabinets to give the walls a seemless finish. It was brilliant!

  322. Eve says

    July 30, 2012 at 6:40 AM

    Wow- I love how it turned out!

  323. Michele @ The Scrap Shoppe says

    July 30, 2012 at 6:36 AM

  340. Mary says

    July 30, 2012 at 5:41 AM

    New bathroom fan and a dehumidifier are on our wish list big time right now!

    If you end up with dried grout haze because, say, your dog figures out how to open the fridge and you have an huuuuuge mess to clean up all the sudden, a Mr. Clean magic eraser will take it off easy-peasy! Just check in a hidden spot it doesn’t scrach your tile first!
