Carved Tray Makeover

Happy August, sweet friends! Last month I had to sit out of our monthly thrift store makeover post. I was afraid that this month that I'd have to sit out again, but luckily I was able to make it work!

Our beach house was hit by Hurricane Isaias. It wasn't too bad, but we did have 2 windows blown out in the guest bedroom. We've been in cleanup mode. 

I had a picnic basket that I was going to bring with me to the beach to work some magic on, but I left it at home. Lucky for me, there is a fabulous Restore right down the road from us at the beach. We made a family trip there and left with a tray for me to use for this month's challenge, a gorgeous vintage oil and a new shelf system for the basement to replace the one destroyed from the flooding. 

brown wood tray

At first look, this looks like a carved, stained wooden tray. It is sadly not. It is a resin type material that is stained. As you start to clean it, the finish started coming off. That was ok….I was going to paint it anyway.

spray paint

I really like this Chalky Finish paint by Krylon for wood type projects. I always try to keep the white on hand. It is so versatile. 

This project could not have been simpler! A few coats of spray paint and I was done! I did finish it off with the matte sealer to it would retain the look of the chalky finish paint. 

white tray

I love it fresh in the white. It will go with so much!

Please note that this is not food safe! You will not want to put food directly on the painted surface. 

charcuterie tray

The size of this tray is perfect for our small group of 5 here at the beach. 

charcuterie tray on deck

Just a couple of days before the hurricane hit, we had our upper deck at the beach house replaced. The contractor added the bench mainly for support, but we love it!

It will be great for watching fireworks from Southport on the 4th of July. We always have an excellent vantage point from here. It's also nice for serving a charcuterie board. 

charcuterie board

Our contractor is actually the guy that does all of the repair work for my husband's apartment business in the middle of the state. He lives several hours away from the beach. Bless his heart, right after the hurricane he was able to turn right back around and come back to check on things for us. Our neighbors here let us know that we had the 2 windows busted out. Luckily, the damage was contained to the one bedroom. The humidity level was so high in the house with the windows out that we had some mold that we had to clean in some areas. Tim replaced the 2 windows and repaired the screened porch for us. We did all the clean up when we got here late Friday evening.

It was a nice treat to relax for a bit with this finished project! The views up here are so amazing of the marsh and looking into Southport.

The details of the tray are really pretty. I know I'll get so much use out of it. I can so see it on my dresser to hold jewelry.

I also picked up this gorgeous piece of art to hang over our bed at the beach house. 

beach house bedroom

You know that I adore collecting vintage oils. You can see my collection here in this post for our gallery wall. 

coastal bedroom

Here is a quick cell photo of the art in our beach bedroom. We literally just got back from the beach when I took it. Bentley had just been rinsed off and already taking a nap. The beach wipes him out!

The art was priced at $50. There was a larger piece in a similar style by the same artist and was priced at $45. I asked why the smaller one was more than the larger one. She didn't know and gave it to me for $35. Always ask if you question a price like this in thrift stores. They will usually work with you!

    WOW, I really thought it was a gorgeous wood tray. Resin makes it a great upcycling candidate, that’s for sure- and I’m so sorry that your beach house got caught up in the hurricane!! I hope the clean up goes smoothly.

    Christy,

    So happy to know the damage wasn’t worse at the beach house!

    I love your new tray. It’s a lot larger than it looked in the before picture. Isn’t spray paint wonderful?!

Happy Friday! I hope you've had a great week. 🌷 Happy Friday! I hope you've had a great week. 🌷 I've been a bit absent this week with my squares, but I've been painting again. Y'all know all that molding and trim that I've been tackling. It's so time-consuming but has a big reward. Fresh paint works wonders in a space. We've got a beautiful weekend ahead here in the south. Hoping to enjoy a little time in the yard before the pollen starts setting in.

Good morning! Another gorgeous day before the rain Good morning! Another gorgeous day before the rain and cold creep back in. The weather is a big tease around here! A tip & a question! Please read below...help a girl out! 

🌸 Do yourself a favor, when you go to the grocery store....pick up some fresh flowers. They are inexpensive and instantly brighten your day. Change out the water every couple of days and most will last a week. Cut a little off the stems as well. 

👁 I recently had an eye appointment. My doc wrote a prescription for me to get progressive readers. Folks, She said that I need 2.5s! I’m in a 1.75. It’s such a pain. Here’s my question. I can no longer pluck my eyebrows with my magnifying mirror! 🤣 The 52 struggle is real! What’s a girl to do? Become Bert or go to the salon. I don’t wax because it’s too irritating. @ashlyn_little offered to pluck them! 🤣 Anyone else in the same boat? 

Favorite @lovechicos look! My So Slimming Girlfriend jeans are on sale! Today is also the last day of their first-ever warehouse sale!

Curious? Do you make your bed daily? We do! We usu Curious? Do you make your bed daily? We do! We usually have a last one out rule. I just can’t walk in the bedroom with an unmade bed. My dresser may have a pile of folded laundry for a couple of days, but that bed is made! That Amazon blanket is linked in stories. It’s soooo good! 

This is perhaps my favorite look for our master bedroom! Soft toile, linen and leopard print bedding and blankets are so cozy! http://liketk.it/3953P #liketkit @liketoknow.it #StayHomeWithLTK #LTKstyletip @liketoknow.it.home

I have not been this excited about the weekend sin I have not been this excited about the weekend since last weekend! Ha, ha! Happy Friday! No big plans here, but I’m still trying to dress up for a date night in on the weekend. We’ve been eating a lot in the dining room lately. It’s a cozy space with the twinkle lights that I don’t have the heart 
to take down. It’s like feeling like we are in an actual restaurant opposed to the daily meals at the kitchen table. Just that little extra effort makes a difference. #ad

Loving these separates from @lovechicos This lightweight chevron sweater is perfect for now and spring. The lines are so slimming with the flowy ¾ length sleeve. Guess what! My So Slimming Girlfriend Jeans are on sale now thru February 25th! All full-priced jeans are $59!

Been watching the news before cooking dinner and e Been watching the news before cooking dinner and enjoying a glass of wine. It’s heartbreaking seeing what’s going on in Texas. The people, the animals....I pray that everyone finds warmth, food and water tonight. It makes me look ahead to warmer days and carefree times of summer. This photo was last summer....I’m ready for outdoor weather. 🙏
