Ta Dah !!!!

The transformation is complete.. Well almost anyways.

What started out as this......

Has now become this............

While a few of you thought that maybe it would be painted an Aqua color, which now has me thinking maybe I should have as that idea is very appealing, I ended up going with my old favorite standby color of PINK to transform my wicker tray. By making it PINK, it just fits in so well with so much of my other decor and looks right at home.

I myself love how it turned out. It's just as I imagined. "Ballet Slipper" is the color of the spray paint and it was so easy, taking just minutes to cover the dingy yellow color and giving a whole new look to my pretty new wicker tray. Once dry, a second coat completed the color change.

Now I have a pretty pink wicker tray to use in all sorts of ways. I could maybe use it for serving myself some tea....

Or for displaying a pretty faux cake...

Or maybe for holding some of my vintage crocheted potholder collection. The possibilities are endless.

In looking at my transformed tray, I felt that it was missing just a little something that would make the transformation even better, but what could that be?? Well, I think I know what would, but just haven't gotten around to finishing that last step. But... I can still share the idea with you.

I remembered that I had some decoupage scrap art papers tucked away somewhere, so I did some digging and found them, and discovered that I had the perfect piece to make the transformation complete. A scrap of embossed & die cut paper featuring a lovely rose bouquet. It is just the right size to add that final touch.

I just need to finish up my little make-over project by decoupaging the scrap to the bottom of the tray, letting it dry and then giving it a final coat of sealant.

So, what do you think?

This transformation was really fun and I've got the itch to find some other things that I can transform as well. I wonder what my next transformation will be. When I find out, I'll be sure to let you know.
