Tables are usually the way structure is done, that or divs. With tables you would make one centered table with each part being a table row and the menu containing however many columns you want, or simply just putting it all into one row. As for the graphics you would have to cut them up into individual images on top of a main background image

Using tables for a layout is a novice's idea, and should really never be done.

Back on topic, get a small portion of the background so you can repeat it like this:

CSS
body {
  background: url('{PATH TO IMAGE}') top left repeat;
}


That will repeat a background across your site.

Here is a great resource to learn basic HTML and CSS if you need future help for simple problems.

This could be done easily with css3 gradients, some border radius and your normal CSS for styling navigation. You can find all those on w3schools..

I would avoid w3schools considering that they teach you bad habits. OP: Find books or a reputable tutorial if you are looking for good HTML/CSS tutorials. NOT w3schools or a little kid on YouTube.

OT: You said make the background the way you want. Please elaborate on how you would like it.

Tables would look good. Also you could do a div tag design, but those can become rather messy.
