Tray Makeover

July 17, 2012 by Angie 27 Comments

Hello Friends! I hope your week is going great so far!
We are enjoying cooler weather this week…so I have been able to get some home decor  projects crossed off my list…which feels so nice because I was just dying to try out some new spray paint colours and work some magic on a tray.
 You know how I love to prowl around Homesense to look & dream? {Do you have a store that you love to visit and dream in?}The clearance aisle never disappoints as I always seem to find something that is super budget-friendly…like this tray.
 

 And check out this price? That’s a totally dreamy price, isn’t it?

Except the rooster…not so dreamy for my home decor.
But it’s nothing a little spray paint and time can’t fix.
So I did a little eeny-meenic-minie-mo with the spray paint cans and was delighted with this summery, beachy blue.
And then I filled my new tray with candles, shells and other beachy things for a little vignette on the living room coffee table.
It was the best $4  fun ever!
Have you tackled a spray paint project lately?
What new treasure did you create for yourself?

    Love the blue, and the candles look great in there. I just pinned a pinterest thing where you glue and roll candles in epsom salts to make them glitter, be nice with a red tray for christmas.

    I have NOT done a spray paint project lately, but this makes me want to. I love Homesense too, and I love what you did with the tray. I am also fond of using shells to decorate in the summer and this is a great way of doing it!

    Angie, I really need to remember that if I find a bargain and don't love the color or motif, there is always spray paint! YOur beachy tray is just so breezy and fun! Great post!
