I tell ya, I’m like a kid in a candy store when I score a good find!! I went a regular weekly trip to a local Goodwill and came across a Crate & Barrel rustic-style tray. It was only $3.99, I literally squealed with excitement 🙂 I couldn’t wait to get working on it!
Before we headed home that afternoon, we stopped by Lowes to pick up a few other things and I browsed the spray paint. I found the color perfect for this project, it was Valspar la fonda mirage, flat . It resembles a light robin egg blue, it was the perfect color! Once home, I gave it a good two coats, allowing each to dry in between. Once it was completely dry, I roughed up the edges and sides with a low grain sanding block.
I was so pleased with the end result, it fits perfect on our kitchen island. Mason jars fit comfortably in the small sections to don fresh flowers throughout the week! And dare I say it, it even acts as a catch all between sunglasses, car keys and the days mail 😉
I just love it! The color is fabulous too!! Hopefully I will come across one of these trays!
Thanks so much Christine!
I’ve had a tray sitting there since April collecting dust! I love the distressed look and yours and the color! Thanks for sharing the idea!
Thank you Lizbeth, looks like you have a project coming your way 😉 So glad you stopped by!!
cute idea!
Thank you Sadie!!
Love it!
Thanks so much Kathy 🙂 Have a great weekend!
What a great find! I love the color you painted it!
Thanks so much Elise 😉
Love that tray/caddie. We make them so this one will be little different style, love it. They’re fairly easy and quick for hubs to make up so will most likely make couple anyway. One for me and one for selling. The color is awesome, love love it..can hardly wait to get to Lowes to find the spray paint. Glad you shared this project, love it. Enjoy rest of summer, going by way too quickly.
Thanks so much and yes I agree, Summer is flying by!! Have a great evening 🙂
That’s a great tray find! I’m loving the sections in it! But I REALLY love the color you chose; somehow it just looks like that’s how it should have been in the first place. 🙂
You’re too sweet, really put a smile on my face 😉 Thank you, we love the color too!
