Place the marble on the timber and trace around it with a pencil.

Once the old top has been removed, use the marble as a template for your new piece of timber.

Be careful not to bend or scratch the frame as you’ll need it for the new tabletop. Very gently tap around the outside edge, ever-so-slowly lifting the top off.

To lift the marble off, use a chisel and hammer.

Hammer, chisel, sandpaper, brush for varnish.

Liquid Nails (also available at, you guess it, Bunnings!).

Cabots Cabothane Clear Matt Varnish ( grab that at Bunnings too).

Outside of the marble side table, which you know to get from Kmart, all of the other supplies can be picked up from Bunnings or your local hardware store.

I was doing a shoot with and we sourced two of the side tables you see above to use pushed together as a coffee table. This exact scenario happened to me just this week. A reminder that sometimes you just have to invest more money in quality pieces, right?!

But we’ve all seen the photos online of these tables arriving with breakages before you even get them outta the box. Perhaps you don’t expect a $29 side table to last forever. But often, cheap furniture comes with the added bonus of it not lasting long. I will definitely cut back where I can for design clients (and in my own home).

As part of my work on Changing Rooms (coming soon to your TV screens – see more here) I had to do a stack of DIY. Today’s post combines my love of a bargain with my increasing interest in furniture hacks. Although truth be told, cheap items can come back to bite you on the behind (more on that in a moment). But with the smaller items like side tables, it’s often nice to cut back and grab these pieces on-the-cheap.
