Inexpensive and scratched up black tray from thrift store. FLAT black paint is a nice bonus!! Easier to paint over.
I added some little wood ‘feet’ to raise it up a bit. (glued on with e6000)
Let the e6000 cure overnight before painting.
Two coats of paint, then some quality time with the orbital sander.
Selected a stencil that fit the inside area of the tray.
Done!
Available for purchase in my booth at Stars Antique Mall in Portland.
This vintage shelf we bought at an estate sale some time ago was a nice soft aqua color, and I used it ‘as is’ in the store for quite a while. Brought it home thinking I was going to freshen up the color with ‘that aqua’ that I have been using so much of. But then decided that I had enough stuff painted that color for a while!
Was getting ready to paint this chair at the same time
And deciding on what color to paint these two little tables and big round tray.
I only ended up painting the bottom table for now, and the chair and shelf. Decided to go pink.
And on all three pieces I sanded and distressed after the paint was dry.
On the shelf, some of the aqua shows through. Although now with the top coat of paint being pink, the undercoat looks more sage green. Which is fine because I like pairing pink and sage together!
Sanding the table and chair brought up some of the dark wood color. Kind of that ‘pink and chocolate’ color combination that seems to be so popular right now.
