I love how this purple and gold tray turned out!! Sometimes what you plan isn’t the plan, and things work out so much better instead!
Hello beautiful friends!!
I’m sharing a tray makeover today. I love trays and making them over. The one I’m making over today is one of two I used to have on my coffee bar. I actually picked up two different trays at the thrift store yesterday, though. So, stay tuned for those!
I used one on each side to protect the top. I’ve since had a thick piece of glass cut, so I got rid of these two trays. (You know, off to the garage they went!! haha)
Nothing special, just a wood tray with black handles.
The wood was a little rough, so since I planned to paint it, I added some wood filler to smooth it out.
I pulled the tabs off the back and removed the hardware.
And sanded the tray smooth once the wood filler was dry.
I used one of my favorite whites, Victorian Lace.
Then here is the vision: Beautiful gold script lettering.
With gold handles. I sprayed them gold to match.
I trimmed it to fit…
Then realized that the two pieces that come in this transfer set are completely different!
I had planned to piece them together across the whole bottom of the tray.
And then place the pretty purple flower right in the middle over top of the script.
Instead, I decided to use one page of the script on the left, and the purple flower on the right.

You know what?? I actually like it better than if I’d had the gold script all over and the flower in the middle. Love how things work out like that!!
I used Tough Coat Matte Topcoat to seal and protect the transfer. Replaced the hardware and done!
I love gold script! It just elevates everything.
That gold spray paint I used (linked above) is the perfect shade of gold.
Stay tuned for the matching tray. I’m sure I’ll do something with it!
PIN it to save it!
Have a blessed weekend, friends!!
xoxo
