More Fun With Paint and Mod Podge!

Hello Ladies,
Hope you've had a good week! Today I wanted to share with you my latest "drab to fab" makeovers!  I guess you could say that is a specialty of mine!  Like so many of you ladies, I am forever on the hunt for the sad, homely, and tired looking stuff that I can transform into something new and pretty!

 Here is a glimpse of the "after", above. 

 And here is the "before"!  Note the lovely faux woodgrain?  Yikes!  I was so very excited when I found this tray while out thrifting last week.  Not because of what she used to look like!  Oh, no.  But, excited because I just knew that she had hidden potential!

So, with the addition of some bright and cheery aqua paint, and this beautiful rose and doily design which I decoupaged, I think she has made quite the transformation!  I found the pretty rose design, which is a copy of vintage wallpaper, over at The Graphics Fairy.  Don't you just love it?

I also really love the pretty metalwork design on the sides, and the cute little ball feet.  I think she is much happier now!

And, to coordinate with the tray, I also transformed these:

 Into these!!!

 Using the same aqua paint and the pretty rose and doily design, you would never guess that these are the same plaques!  I found four of these vintage syroco type plaques while out thrifting (I still need to makeover the other two), and I think the young girl checking me out surely must have thought that I'd lost it!

 I can almost hear them breathing a sigh of relief!

 I'm putting these, as well as the tray, in my Etsy shop, if you care to look!

Now, I'm off to find something else I can paint!

Have a great weekend!
