French Provincial
-
1
Remove the mirror from a French Provincial dresser.
-
2
Adhere rich velvet fabric to the bottoms of the dresser drawers with craft glue. Purchase four expandable drawer dividers from your local home improvement store. Insert the dividers into two of the drawers by pushing them length-wise into the drawers so they create slats from the front of the drawers to the back of the drawers. Lay your wine bottles between these dividers. A deep drawer can be utilized for short glasses. Store silverware, table linens and dining room accessories in the remaining drawers.

Adorn the top of your sideboard with a soup tureen and bowls, serving pieces, and a vase of fresh flowers for guests to enjoy.

4
Purchase or build a narrow table with a traditional plywood top and 2-inch-by-2-inch posts or spindle legs.
-
5
Cut 1/4-inch notches inside each of the table legs, 6 inches from the bottom, with a router. Slide a piece of transparent thermoplastic into the notches. Use this shelf to hold a variety of dining room necessities and accessories. Install a stemware rack underneath the table top for your wine glasses.

6
Cover the top of the sideboard in rows of nail glue. Press 12-inch tin tiles firmly on top of the table. Allow the glue to dry for one hour.
-
7
Sand and stain a 6-inch wide by 1-inch thick piece of wood that is the same length as the table. Screw it to the back of the table with 2-inch screws and a screw gun to serve as a decorative back splash.
-
8
Use craft glue to adhere blue and green sea glass to the back splash. Another option is to buy inexpensive glass stones and marbles at your local dollar store. Use nail glue instead of craft glue to stick the latter onto the back splash since the stones and marbles require a stronger adhesive due to their weight.
-
9
Affix antique rolling pins to the ends of the sideboard. Hold them in place with wood L-brackets or finial holders screwed into the sideboard with 1-inch screws. These rolling pins take the place of traditional towel holders.
