Garage Sale Tray Makeover

 

A few weeks back I bought this white wooden tray at a garage sale for $1 and thought I might be able to do something with it. 

You can't tell by the photo but it was pretty dingy and had seen better days.

 

 

 

 

I decided that a new spray coat of paint would be all it needed to breathe some life into it.

 

I painted it a soft yellow which is probably pretty hard to see in this picture, trust me though it is MUCHO improved.

This is the first vignette I tried in it but wasn't really sold on it. 

I loved the bird but the other things, not so much.

This is what I ended up with.  It is kind of springy and will take me into summer just fine I think.

I just love it when something comes together even if I had to steal items from around the house.

Has anyone else been doing any garage sale shopping?  It's that time of year to roll out of bed on a Friday or Saturday morning and hit them early to get in on all the good stuff.
