1. Our inspiration... My boyfriend and I are both musicians and were inspired after seeing the custom made abstract electric guitars at the Tokyo Art Exhibition at GOMA.
2. We had a wooden coffee table that was missing a top so decided to transform it into a fun custom made 'moog'. After choosing glossy tiles we scraped back the chipboard and played with various patterns.
3. We applied nail glue to the back of the tiles and pressed them firmly down. For the keys we used a tile cutter and purposely made the black keys raised.
4. When applying the grout make sure all dust is wiped off and lightly dampen the grout joints. Mix the powder with water so that it has a toothpaste consistency. Work the grout in a diagonal motion using a rubber float. Remove excess grout with the float and keep wiping tiles gently with a damp cloth. Allow the grout to cure for 24 hours! We used Davco Superfine White Grout.
Our finished coffee table!
It was so much fun to make and now we have a great feature piece!
