Tools Needed For This Project: 1. Sheet of Plywood (large enough to overhang the table all the way around. I made mine much larger than my table. It hung over 6" all the way around.   2. Outdoor Fabric (large enough to cover your board and wrap around to the back with plenty of fabric to staple. My fabric was 12" wider and 12" longer than the board.   3. Mod Podge (you will be applying several coats so get a medium container)   4. Paint Roller (I just used what I had)   5. Stapler and Staples 6. Roman Shade Magnet Tape available at www.patemeadows.com    7. Screws and Pipe Hangers to attach top to table. (I used Pipe Hangers from Home Depot ) STEP 1 Cut The Plywood The Shape Of The Table And Sand The Edges STEP 2 Dry Fit The Fabric Don't cut the fabric until you are sure the design can be centered and you have plenty of fabric to wrap around to the back side. Again, make sure you have plenty of fabric to wrap around the sides of the new table

One came from my new best friend (she doesn't know she's my new best friend and we've never even met - or spoken for that matter .... but you know how when we're so inspired by someone's posts

Oh my goodness....I can't believe it's been so long since I posted on the Blog.  I've been so busy, but haven't taken the time to write anything down !!! This one is going to be all over the place so get ready to follow me down a rabbit trail.... To start with, I changed out my headboard and got a new bed - (that's gonna be another OutOnThaPorch topic) and when I took it down I was quickly reminded of how extremely heavy this headboard is AND not everybody knows how to hang one.  Or anything else that heavy for that matter. You can see in this article from the October Issue of Cottage Journal Magazine this headboard is huge !!!  It was 80" wide and 60" tall.  I bet it weighed 75 or 100 lbs by the time it was covered. Most of the time these headboards have legs on the two ends and sometimes in the middle to raise them off the floor as shown in this photo. But that's not how we do it.  Because the legs are never stable enough and
