Old Newspaper Project...

I've been in need of a tray for the bathroom at 

our cottage.  Funny how when I wasn't looking 

for one I'd see them all the time at thrift shops.  

But alas,  my patience paid off and I found an unfinished wooden tray for around $1. 

This is the coloring of the bath. (Want to repaint 

that tub all white, but for now...)   I do want to 

keep the blue striped ticking curtains that hides

 wall storage...

...so I didn't want to make the tray creamy white.  Instead I opted for this gray blue that I had in 

my paint stash...

We found some old newspapers in the cottage 

when we bought it.   I cut out any health 

and beauty advertisements that I could find and decoupaged them to the inside bottom.  

This turned out a bit like a child's

 cut and paste project - but it will do. 

It'll be fun to read the classified ads in the background.

After a couple of coats of poly - I think it will 

serve us nicely in a humid space.
