The Turquoise Table

How Does It Work?

Love Our Neighbors

1. Get a turquoise table

Any picnic table will do. My original table came from Lowe’s and I painted it Nifty Turquoise by Sherwin-Williams. Now, we’ve partnered with Tuesday Morning stores, and you can pick up a table painted and ready to go. In Austin, we’ve partnered with ReWork Project, a local nonprofit serving men and women struggling with homelessness.  Our friends at ReWork build amazing handmade Turquoise Tables.

2. Put it in your front yard

Find a spot in your front yard. No front yard? No problem. Think about where people naturally gather in your community. Rooftops. Community Centers. Church patios. Libraries. Apartment laundry rooms. Neighborhood gardens. The possibilities are endless.

3. Share the table

Invite a friend or neighbor over for coffee or tea. Keep it simple. Share the concept of The Turquoise Table® and ask her to help you organize your first neighborhood gathering. Everything is easier and more fun with a friend!

4. Share your story

Tell your community about The Turquoise Table®. Don’t be shy. Tell your friends and neighbors how you hope to bring people together around your Turquoise Table. Invite them to join you. Then, encourage others to get their own tables and begin a new cycle of community.

Share your stories with The Turquoise Table® community. Let us know what’s going on at your table! Your stories will encourage others — we are all in this together.
