Tres Chic

Looking back at my blog I remembered this oldie but goodie.
I hope you don't mind that I share a little re-post.

I bought a very large tray at the thrift store. It was rather plain and was stained an orangish color. This is how it looked after I sanded it and primed it.I spray painted it Heirloom White
and sanded the edges for a distressed look.I added some retro hardware that I sprayed
black with a bronze metallic dusting.I spray painted four finials.And ABRACADABRA!
Those pretty finials are now fancy legs.Then just to make it "tres chic",
I added some fleur de lis rub on decals.

    This is so pretty, Joy, and I remember admiring it previously! I'm STILL looking for those fleur de lis rub-ons!

    What a great idea! If I were to set this on a table it would be full of junk in about two days!
