The Painted Tray


I've been on the lookout for a tray to put on my ottomans. 
You know, to hold a drink, or the remote, or plastic dinosaurs.


I went into my favorite thrift store last week, 
and found this beauty for 75 cents! 
What, you don't like the "welcome friends" stenciled on it? 
Well, I didn't either, but I knew that all it needed was a quick sand, 
a coat of primer, and then a coat (or 3) of glossy white spray paint.


I could have stopped there, but I decided to add some stripes. 
 I though about a chevron  pattern, or this quatrefoil
but in the end my laziness won. 
I went with the stripes simply because it was going to take the least amount of effort.


A little painter's tape, a little acrylic paint brushed on, and I was done.
