Using fine-grit sandpaper, I lightly sanded the frame and applied two coats of Autentico Versante matt in the shade Kiwi. I used my drill driver to remove the wooden slats from the frame. So, I used my power washed to clean the wood before using an oil wax on the wooden slats. I had left my Ikea bistro set outside in Winter, and it had become grubby and mossy. However, when I purchased them a few years ago, I got the black colour. This Ikea bistro set comes in different colours.
While my adhesive and grout were setting, I worked on the frame of the Ikea TÄRNÖ to change the colour. The next day I polished the tiles and removed any remaining grout from the tiles. I allowed it some time to set before I used a sponge to wipe away any excess. I used the grout float to smooth the grout into the gaps between the tiles. Grouting was oddly satisfying, and grouting a flay surface was perfect for my first time. Once the trim was attached, I started grouting. You can see in this YouTube video how I attached the trim, but I used some wood glue and tacked it in with some nails. Lay the four sheets of tiles onto the MDF and use tile spacers where needed.Īllow the tile adhesive 24 hours to dry before grouting.Īfter the tiles had dried and before grouting, I measured and cut four pieces of wooden trim to size to create a frame.

How to hack an Ikea TÄRNÖ into a tiled tableįor the first part of this Ikea TÄRNÖ makeover, I created a new tabletop that would sit on top of the old one. So, I took the idea from Tik Tok, and I created a new tiled tabletop for my Ikea table. I had an old Ikea TÄRNÖ bistro set that was a little worse for wear. While I love the tables people are creating, they aren’t my style of decor. The tiled tables you see from Tik Tok are a great way to practise tiling. However, the DIY Ikea tiled table I created is not on-trend, but I wanted to share how you can take an idea and make it your own. One of them was the Tik Tok DIY tiled table trend #tiledtable. While I feel like I am way too old for Tik Tok, I love seeing the creative decor trends that pop up on the platform.
