Refinished Wooden Breakfast Tray...

Feathering My Nest has moved!... come check all of this out over at www.featheringmynest.ca/blog

Its been a couple months since I picked up this tray at VV... I think I got it for something like 3.99... or was it 4.99?.. either way it was a great find...  Here it is completed...

This is the only before picture I could find...

Its buried in behind the two white frames... see the dark brown rectangle!?. that's it!.. it was black on the outside edge, the bottom and the legs...

So... I painted it cream... of course... And with the sheet music I picked up at Fair's Fair a few weekends ago... and some modge podge I covered the bottom and then the top of the tray... luckily I started with the  bottom to get the hang of mod podging again... its been awhile... 

To seal the bottom of the tray I used a couple coats of mod podge... I got a few bubbles/wrinkles on the bottom... so a little research on the web for mod podge techniques and the top turned out perfeclty...

 For the top I just mod podged the tray and pressed my pre cut out and pre fit paper onto it... smoothed out any bubbles and moved onto the next piece...  once it was all stuck down I let it dry... I didn't put a layer of mod podge over top...  I let it sit a couple of days and then used a clear waterbased varnish to protect the sheet music from any spills...  Then a coat of paste wax and a buffing with cheese cloth and I put the tray pieces back together...

I'm very happy with the results... It matches our bedroom perfectly... but I think I might have to part with this one at the Vintage Chicks Sale coming up in June...

I won't have my own booth but I'm going to have a few items in with Laura's and Pam's booths... I'm going to be taking the photos for the Vintage Chicks Sale this Spring!.. So excited!..  It's going to be a fun weekend!..

I wish I had enough items build up that I could have my own booth... only work has been so busy that I haven't had a chance to make enough items to fill a whole booth...

Of course I can't break out the camera without Mr. Man making an appearance!.. I swear he  comes running when he hears the shutter click!..

Now I have a question... if you were at a sale and found this tray what would you be willing to pay!?.  Yeah I have to start pricing a few items and  I need your imput!..
