A year or so ago, I had finished an Ikea hack with my coffee table (post can be seen here). Recently, I had run into this amazing marble adhesive paper and I thought it would love FABULOUS if I combined the two...
Gold and Marble? YESSSSSSSS.
Have you ever seen a little kid who can't handle their happiness when they are super happy? Well, that was me when I got this fabulous item in the mail.

They have a couple of different colors and styles of this paper. I chose the traditional white/gray color. As I was in the store yesterday, I also found it in the area that has shelf liner (kitchen stuff). The adhesive cost me $10 on Amazon but at Rite Aid, it was about $6. I also assume Home Depot has the same stuff there too...

The table comes with a dark wood leaf and two glass panels (one for the smaller table and one for the top panel of the long table). Sorry for the flash-y picture. I have to take pictures at night at times since my little one keeps me busy during the day.

This roll of marble paper is FABULOUS! Up close, its slightly pixelated but who is really going to look at it that closely...besides, if you throw an Instagram filter on it, no one will know the difference! ;)

I wiped the top down and then applied it according to the directions. It doesn't require any additional adhesive and according to the directions, if you start to see air bubbles, you can just pull it up and reapply. The roll comes with about two applications (for the Ikea Vittsjo table) if you wanted to just do it over again.

I wanted to cover the back side of the top (its black) so I could retain the dark wood look should I decide to shoot something on it but I accidentally covered to dark wood and I'm too lazy to try to recover it. I'll try it soon though. Promise!


Here is what the uncovered side looks like...
I've since moved the marble to the top so that I can access it easier instead of having to remove everything on it to take 1 picture. I am IN LOVE with this! We don't have marble counter-tops (yet) but this is a super easy fix in the meantime. I absolutely love looking at everyone's Instagram shots that are prettily styled on marble!

If you have this table and have painted it gold, has anyone had issues with their gold paint coming off? I've got nicks and scratches everywhere and I don't think I bump into it that much...
