About 5 years ago I attended what is called the Ultimate Family Yard Sale. It’s held on an airport lot and people can rent tables to sell their stuff or you can go to buy. I had gone one year to check it out and then ended up coming back the next year to rent a table. When I was walking around scoping out the tables a tray table totally caught my eye. It turned out the table was not for sale it was just there to hold items that were. Lucky for me, I’m a smooth talker and convinced the woman to sell it to me. I had so many ideas for it but like a lot of the furniture pieces I own it made its way into the pile and I forgot all about it. Fast forward to now. I was looking for a little side table to place next to the upholstered chair in our living room and the tray table came to mind. I knew it would need a little freshening up so I gave it a fresh paint job and a new top.
I used Zinsser oil based primer to start with.
Then I used Rustoleum’s Champagne as the color.
The bamboo base in the tray was not really working for me so I went to my local glass and mirror shop and had a mirror cut to size. Easy peasy! Glad to have finally put the table to use!

Do you hoard furniture like myself? No? Just me huh…great.
