So here’s what I’m talking about.
Found this white wicker tray at a yard sale a while back. I paid FIFTY CENTS for it. It’s a nice size, and while it was chipping and looked very, um, loved, I knew with a few minutes and a can of spray paint, it would be a nice little tray. You can’t really tell how icky it was in this picture, but trust me. It wasn’t pretty. I wasn’t sure where it was going in my house, but for fifty freaking cents, I had to grab it.
So wiped it clean, got rid of all the dust bunnies and so on, laid it on an old towel outside, and within a couple minutes, I had a ‘new’ gray tray! Looked brand new! I chose gray a) because I had it!, and b) because I didn’t know where it was going, and gray would work pretty much anywhere in my house!
I ended up putting it in my white table – the one that I just moved over to sandwich between the chevron chairs…
It houses some books at the moment.
Can’t beat a 50 cent tray, am I right?! So if you’re hittin’ up some yard sales tomorrow morning, keep an eye out – and don’t forget what a little spray paint can do! 🙂
