You said your mother asked you "Can you do anything with this top?"
This is not meant to be disrespectful - but there is no law against folding it up and putting it back in a box (with acid free paper, if you want to preserve it) for now. It might look more appealing in a year or two.
If this had not been your Grandmother's, what would you do with it?
Does your Mother have feelings about it? Would she like to work on it?
