Wandering through blogland, we stopped by Danny Seo's site and found this amazing new project he just finished. Using iron-on veneer strips, he updated an old table using very little money or time. Click below for links and more info.

He started out with a few different varieties and thicknesses of iron-on wood veneer "tape." You can buy veneer and edge banding at many hardware and renovation supply stores.

The strips are ironed on to the table and secured with a roller. Danny used Band-It Veneer Edging.

He says his veneer kit came with a trimming tool, and we'd also recommend buying a kit that comes with one. The sharp lines of this project require a really close, clean cut.

The finished table. We think it looks beautiful, and we're inspired to try our hand at some veneering ourselves.

Wow, what a great DIY! I'll have to keep this in mind when I see an inexpensive table with an ugly laminate top.

I totally was just thinking of how to change the plain white table in my living room by adding a laminate top. It's like you read my mind. That's for the tip!

it looks unfinished though, doesnt it need a coat of shellac or something?
