What to do with a marble slab

On a barn sale search, we found a dirty but promising loose white marble slab. I had no idea what it would become but knew I needed to give it a new lease on life. Without an intended project, it sat around our house for a few months. 

Then one of my great friends moved into a new place. She was in need of furnishings and an idea was born to give the marble slab a new home. We went to our local sustainable home improvement store; Community Forlklift o get supplies. Since the marble itself was very heavy, there needed to be ample supports under it. We gathered some old sturdy table legs, sheet wood and molding. The pieces were cut to size. 

And then painted. 

The molding was attached to the table legs, more for style and look then support. But when function works, why not. 

The needed stability and strength came in a sheet of wood used as a platform and secured to the tops of the legs. 

Once scrubbed down and sealed, the marble topped off a pretty gorgeous coffee table.
