This project is for us Lazy Marthas, who like an easy, simple project. We don’t use a tablecloth on our antique table during meals, so I use trivets every meal. (I know, I know, the table shown in the photo does not require coasters. I just used it for the photos.)

Then I cut a square of the cork backing a little smaller than the tile. I used the adhesive backing on the cork to apply the cork to the marble tile. So the process is cut, peel, stick, repeat.
The tea set shown is Franciscan Desert Rose. You can read more about my bittersweet romance with these dishes in A Tale of Two Dishes and the history of Desert Rose dishes in The Dish on Desert Rose.

What a great idea! I love tumbled marble; my shower is made with it.
Awesome idea! I have plenty of these tiles in my garage!

Do you still use your tea set since learning of the lead risk?
I sold my Desert Rose dishes, so I no longer have them. I bought a new set of Spode Kingsley and I use the new teapot.
