SORRY DIY

Currently my family and I are building a new house. My mom is looking at all of our old furniture deciding what to keep and what to get ride of. The what it get ride of pile is sorted into piles of what to throw away, what to give away, and garage sale. The what to keep pile is also sorted into two more piles called what to keep the same and what to change. From our old living room we have two side tables, a bookshelf table thing, and a table that would sit in front of our sofas. My mom and I were trying to figure out what to do with them, then my mom had this great idea of turning the one that would sit in front of the sofas into a SORRY table. I thought that this was a great idea, so my mom striped the tables of the furnished color and went to the paint store to get a lighter color. Once the base was finished. My mom had my dad take the top off the base and bring it in the covered porch. Once it was in the porch. My mom took a pencil and ruler and drew where the board would be painted on the table. My mom then went to the store to but the paint colors she needed. She painted the background a medium grey-blue. She then drew the lines for the squares around the board and traced them with a black paint pen. She is currently painting and tracing the 'homes' for the SORRY pieces. For the pieces we are going to use the ones from the game because they are the right size.  I can't wait till the table is done. We are going to put the table set in the loft.
Let me know what you think of this DIY. Will you try it? What DIY's have you done? Thanks, Emily.
