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.
What thrift store find have you made over lately?
Wow, what an awesome transformation...good job! Well, the latest thing I made over wasn't from a thrift store but actually from the garage! This tall cabinet was left here from the previous tenants and I decided to use it as storage in the kitchen/dining area. I cleaned it up, primed and painted black & cream striped, then used a diamond stencil on the doors. (I haven't posted a picture on my blog yet, but I will.)
