Chalk Board Tray

I picked up this tray about a year ago at a thrift store and other than painting it from its originial natural wood color to white hadn't done anything with it. 

Chalkboard paint on trays is nothing new so I'm not sure why it didn't occur to me. 


I had hoped to line it with vintage wallpaper, but unlike other people out there who manage to find the stuff, I wasn't quite so lucky.  This was a fun alternative.

Don't laugh at my artwork.  I never said I was an artist!

  6. Thank you Anna. I get comments all the time about those shelves. They are actually a wine rack from Pottery Barn and are no longer available. We had a wine rack installed in our kitchen and we no longer needed the wine storage so I just use them as regular shelves.
