"I do not claim that I can tell a story as it ought to be told. I only claim to know how a story ought to be told." -Mark Twain
I did not take pictures of this process, but you can figure it out it's so simple: I had an old wooden letter tray. Or an inbox tray. Or maybe it was an outbox tray. Whatever it was, it was a boring old tray.
I spray painted the tray a cream color.
I painted a big "L" in the middle. I sanded the entire tray and L down to appear worn. I applied a glaze. The end.
P.S. That is Abe coming around the corner trying to get in on the action!
I've linked this to Susan and Metamorphosis Monday. Go check them out.

Request: A blog tour of your house. I see tempting glimpses when you tell us these stories, but I want to see a picture show of the whole thing at one time. Or a room at a time. However you want to do it.
ReplyDeleteHow about it? Are you willing to share?
Might keep me from knocking on your door one day for a Better Homes tour.
Great reuse of an old tray. I love it!
