Recently I was invited by Ave Home to create something wonderful with one of their many chic raw wood products they sell on their site. A tray with a brass stand stood out as a stylish piece that I could use for storage or entertainment, so I decided to paint it a bold glossy blue and use it as a libation station for a summer party.
In the corner of the living room at the Las Vegas house I set up a mini bar for guests using this freshly painted royal blue and brass tray.
It began as the Ave Home Audrey Butler Tray with a raw tray top and beautiful brass stand.
The tray is beautiful raw (can you imagine it stained?) but I wanted to paint it so I taped off the brass edges with painter’s tape in preparation.
I primed the tray first since I was using an oil based gloss paint. Simple sponge brushes do the trick for a small project like this, and bonus I don’t have to deal with cleanup with oil based paint because I can just toss them out!
I followed it up with three coats of blue gloss paint, for this project I used Rustoleum’s enamel paint in Gloss Royal Blue, I love this color!
Three coats of paint later I had this glossy blue beauty!
I purchased beverage fixings from the grocery store and some cute flamingo party straws (these are from World Market.)
The Audrey’s versatile enough to serve as a bar tray, end table, or nightstand. Imagine it stained or painted in any color you like!
