My sister painted this glass piece and the purpose was that she wants to make it into a coffee table. Well, she wants me to do the frame and the lighting under it. I never done something like this. My simple idea was that frost the glass with a film and use led strips in a way so it's evenly illuminated then plug it into a battery that has a switch. Okay, maybe not that simple. She told me she wants to use a plastic piece to diffuse the light and put it under the glass. But then we need another plastic piece because the led has to face upward. So many questions...
I figured maybe others already made a table like this and willing to share their experience, so please help us out here.
The glass is 20x20 inched and 1/4 thick. The glass has to be easily removable for cleaning or repairing purposes.
I appreciate all help and thank you all.
