Here we go again!
Some more stenciling ideas for ya!
I think I am tossing this recipe stencil right in the can.
Unless you want it?
Not sure how much life is left in it.
Moving on…..
I have had this tray that I found at Walmart one season marked down to $2.00.
SCORE.
This was the original tray in plain red and I stenciled a fleur-de-lis on it.
Red is really not my color though.
I like it certain times of the year, but NOT all year.
Soooo…
Out came my Annie Sloan Antibes green AGAIN!
I swear that paint last forever.
I really love this color.
I started to look around the house the other day while holding the paint brush…
just to see what else I could slather this paint on.
A live plant…yes still alive.
Not too many other plants doing well around here.
I lightly distressed, so a little red would peek through.
Whaalaaaaaaaa!
I like it!
Hope you do too.
Thanks for stopping by today.
Summer is closing in on us fast.
This has been the fastest summer I can ever recall gone by.
Enjoy!
I will be checking in here and there when I can from Buffalo.
Pretty soon some Fall fun decorating will be happening!
I usually bust out the bins September 1st.
Don’t forget about the Richard Gere Pinning Party!

Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions says
August 28 at 9:53 amNice tray makeover, Debbie! I love the scallops on the tray. It looks great in your kitchen, too. I have no live plants in my house now. Not since I killed the ivy I bought for my laundry room last month.

August 28 at 11:25 amHey Debbie! Really love that color on your tray! But what really intrigues me are those wooden spoons! Are those painted handles, or ceramic? Would love to know! 😉

August 28 at 12:56 pmLove this tray. I found a few like this as well and now I know what to do with them. Thanks for the cool idea. Was wondering, how durable is it painted. I mean that is it useable, or is it for display only? Great pics! Thanks,
Judy says

Wende says
August 29 at 10:58 amDebbie, One more quick question or two. Thank you for your time. Did you prime? Or sand prior to painting and or use a deglosser since the tray is plastic and so shiny? Been thinking about it this since I saw it yesterday! Love it. TFS.
bj says
