Goodwill finds…..Lacquer Tray

I am a regular at my local Goodwill.  I love hunting through all their isles in search of that one long forgotten household item that is just dyeing to be beautiful again.

Here is what I found on this weekend’s shopping trip….

All three items were $2.25 each for a total of $6.75. Plus everything was 25% that day so I scored everything for just $5.00!  In just a few hours I was able to turn it into this…..

Here is what I did…

Step 1 – sand the rough spots

Step 2 – Prime

Step 3 – Paint

Step 4 – Add a clear gloss top coat (i forgot to take a picture)

Step 5 – Polish

the final product in my living room……

Compared to……

tray $59.00 from West Elm, votive holder $4.95 (not sterling silver like mine!) from Crate & Barrel, vase $99.00 from Mid Atlantic Beautygrand total = $162.95

I did it all for $5.00!
