So a few months ago, you might recall that I found this lovely little antique oval mirror tray from Goodwill for just $1.99! Since I purchased it, it's sat in my home office, unused. However, while doing some productive Pinterest research a couple of weeks ago, I came across this little lovely from Urban Outfitters:
Instantly I realized what I wanted to do with the tray - and yes, it involved spray paint! I purchased Rustoleum white lacquer spray paint since I was going for a high gloss look.
And just a few coats later, this is now what I have...
Pretty and functional, what do you think? Not bad for a $1.99 Goodwill score!

ReplyDeleteI love all your upcycling projects! Very creative and well done. Plus you are giving me ideas :-) I also enjoy the fact that in addition to being adorable, this tray is also functional and serves a purpose. That is the key for me that will separate knick-knacks from the cream.
