back porch project :: painted frame tray
June 15, 2010
remember my back porch makeover? today i’m going to share with you one of my thrifty diy projects that gave the space the right kind of feel- a thrifted frame tray!
i bought this lovely from goodwill for a buck. beautiful, isn’t it?
i painted the frame with high gloss white spray paint and then covered the cardboard insert with this red print fabric (from ikea). i secured it with a little hot glue and voila! i had a matching tray centerpiece within about twenty minutes!

that was one of my *favorites* from your entire make-over…love it!!
Spray paint and I are having a love hate relationship. I have started using primer but when I spray paint over it the paint will bubble or just fall off. I used to think spray paint and I were best friends!
I love this, very inspiring. Hopefully I will fix my spray paint problems.
I love it!! I can always find these while thirfting too..I already have one painted blue!
So cute! Just wanted to let you know that your last back porch makeover post inspired me to finally undertake one of my own. Mine’s a yard and patio project. Here’s my blog post about it from a few days ago ~ http://exploredaily.typepad.com/exploredaily/2010/06/a-summer-makeover-project.html. Keep the inspiration coming, Bonnie!
oh wow, i am so totally going to do this!! what a great idea! i was just at a thrift store the other day and saw all sorts of frames like that. i wanted to buy them but i just wanted too sure what i would do with them…now i know!!
hi bonnie! such a great start! can’t wait to see the final afters, have fun!
