From trash to art!

in OCD5 years ago (edited)

It's not unusual for me to pick up "treasures" from recycling bins. A year ago I found two wooden trays outside a bin and I took them home. Today I got one of them in my hands and (I was too bored and had to do something creative) and I transformed it

from a piece of trash...

into a romantic work of art!

With three coats of white chalk paint, some designs from a paper napkin I had saved (from the Christening buffet of a friend's little girl) and two coats of varnish the tray from the rubbish got turned into a beautiful piece again.

Some rubbing with a piece of sandpaper to make it look more vintage and we are done!!

Soon its little friend is going to be transformed into something beautiful too! I haven't decided on what I'm doing with it yet, but I think I'm gonna make something to match the other one.
