If you know me then you know how much I enjoy walk­ing the isles of the dol­lar store. It’s excit­ing to see all the amaz­ing good­ies you can find for $1. Even if the prod­uct itself is a lit­tle “meh” I encour­age you to think out­side the box and imag­ine it with a fresh coat of paint or re pur­posed into some­thing com­plete­ly different! 

In this case a lit­tle spray paint and a coat of laquer was all I need­ed to trans­form a cheap look­ing tray into a beau­ti­ful piece of farm­house fall decor!

I chose a white spray paint because it’s THE farm­house col­or and most of my decor heirs on the side of neutral. 

Once your paint is dry spray it with a coat of lac­quer. This will give it a nice sheen and make your tray look less “dol­lar-tree-like”

That’s it! And just like that you have a beau­ti­ful farm­house fall tray to min­gle in with you decor!
