Pewter Tray Update


As long as I have chalk board paint, 
I will find something to paint.




How about a 10 minute update on an old pewter tray?


Just a few coats of chalk board paint in the center of this tray,



and a couple of screws to hold it to the wall.


A basket nearby holds the chalk and eraser.


 And in just a few minutes you have a message center.

I hung this one on the wall next to my daughter's room.

It holds all her mail and is great for leaving a note.



Have a great day!


  I hope you enjoyed this project and you'll take a look at my Amazon Shop for craft supplies I recommend. Also while you're here please sign up for the Homeroad emails on my sidebar so I can send my latest DIY post straight to you.
