HOW WAS YOUR SUMMER WEEKEND?

SHOW AND TELL MONDAY IS HERE...
Another wonderful old treasure turned into a new and pretty Vanity or Tea Tray. Of course, I forgot to take "Before" pictures once again.
I purchased this lovely OLD tray at a Consignment shop while visiting a friend this spring. The glass was broken and it was a dark wood, but it was all original. A beautifully ornate frame with brass handles. How could I resist the thought of reviving this lovely.
The vintage wallpaper came from Heather's boutique, "Pretty Petals". When it arrived, I just knew what piece I was going to use for this gorgeous tray. The color blue and the gorgeous swirls of rose vines were just perfect for this project. Linen white paint and vintage, satin gathered trim was placed all along the bottom of the tray. I'm almost running out of this trim which I use on everything ~ and I don't know where I'll ever find it again! I'm keeping my eyes open at every estate sale and auction I attend.
Four glass feet placed on the underside of the tray gave it the final "touch of elegance" which will keep it sitting about one inch high off your vanity or tea table. So pretty and a "One-of-A-Kind" treasures from Treasured Heirlooms boutique.
What do you think of the finished treasure? I'd love to hear your comments and have a great blogging day ladies.
Love the look. I am always on the prowl for paper and trims also...but I am lucky to have a creative liaison to carry out my visions!
