busy week and a weekend project

The previous week was busy but this week is the winner I guess. I would like to share a fun project I did last weekend. There was a wood tray laying in my garage covered all over with dust. It fell into my hands in one of my thrift store adventures. This weekend, I had time to create a fun project with it.  Here is how it looked before the recycling:)

 I have painted it with acrylic paint for outdoors. After two coats here it is;

Then I started to stencil European cities one by one again using acrylic old white/cream like color . My favorite city goes first. 

Volia! Here is the finished tray. Don't forget to seal it in the end. (I used Artisan Enhancements' Clear Top Coat to seal it but you can use anything.)

My tray paired well with the Italy pillows...

 Europe is in the air! 

NOTE: Available to purchase at On A Whim, in Lucketts, VA.
