There is this love-hate relationship we face with our dining table. As much as we love our dining table cos its beautiful and looks cool, it is freaking good at attracting dust and within 2 hours after cleaning it, you can see fine specks of dust on it. And cos it is black, you can see the layer of dust lagi more clearly! Thats not the worse thing. As it has a glass table top, it gets scratched easily. Now already kana one scratch. Very heartpain cos this stupid table is one of pricier piece of furniture in the house apart from the sofa.
At first, we bought place mats to put on the table to minimise dust visibility and scratches. However, the whole thing looks ugly. The table looks best without anything but a centerpiece like this:
We have sourced high and low for transparent table covers but couldn't find anything suitable. I was actually wondering if they sell screen protectors in large sizes, lol.
Everytime we have guests, I worry whether our table will get scratched by accident, not to mention Kitty has to polish it with the glass cleaner cos our guests never fail to leave some memories of their prescence behind - hand and/or fingerprints. Because of the same reason, we always put newspapers over the tabletop whenever we dine there (very seldom though). Use already just throw, haha. In fact, since Chinese New Year, the newspapers have been placed on the tabletop permanently. It looks UGLY with a capital U!
I finally got sick of seeing our beautiful table being covered up and suggested to Kitty the next best alternative to screen protectors - book cover. Wahahahahaha! We went to Popular to shop for those transparent book covers and were pleasantly surprised to see that they sell "Table Top Covering" too! They look exactly the same as book covers except they are thicker.
Now our table looks like this:
Ok, still not nice, but better than newspapers right???? Plus, its easier to clean (just wipe with a damp cloth) and can prevent scratches!
