Upcycling a Woven Nautical Tray


This is exactly the kind of tray that might get overlooked 
at the thrift store. It was brown, stained, and pretty ugly.

But I saw the potential... 

I knew with a quick coat of chalk paint, this old wicker tray could have a new life..
It looked a little coastal to me, a perfect summer tray.

The extra large size was particularly appealing.

    Very lovely! Did you use a homemade chalk paint recipe, or did you use brand name paint? Either way, it turned out beautifully summery!
