Tray Chic!

Oui, Oui, Tres Chic!
Happy Friday, Ladies!
Another week has just flown by, I hope you've been having a great one!
Today I'm going to show you a tray project that I just finished for my Etsy shop. I love trays, and am always on the lookout for ones that I can transform.  I won't show you the before shot yet, don't want to scare you!

So you get to see the "after" first!
Let's back up a bit before we go any further, just so you can see how far this tray has come!  I found her while out thrifting earlier this week, and she was suffering from a serious case of BSU* syndrome!
                                                          (*beyond seriously ugly*)

Just look at the poor thing!  Don't you love the faux bois grain (fake wood grain)?!  When hubby took one look at it, he gave me that "What the heck is she thinking buying that God awful thing?"  But, he knows me well enough by now, to realize that nothing stays ugly once I work a little magic!

So, after painting her Heirloom White, she was feeling better already!

For the actual tray, I decoupaged vintage sheet music, followed by one of my all time graphics from the Graphics Fairy.  I've used this wonderful imagine of a French advertising label in several projects. 

I really love the design of the wire around the edges.  Oh, and the cute little ball feet, too!

Here's one last look!  Hope this inspires you to look at those ugly ducklings in a new light!
I am linking up this project with the following great parties:
