Tea for two, two for tea!

I have been looking for a tea tray to upcycle for a long time now, for breakfast in bed for my ha and and I and general shabby chic fabulousness! 
So I was chuffed to bits to find one for £8. It needed some work, and wasn't worth anything in it's current condition so was ripe for a paint job! 

So I gave it a bit of a rough sand with my good old sanding block, and applied rustoleum chalk finish paint in clotted cream. Remember my top tips for painting furniture; nice lon pg strokes, use a roller where you can and always,always go with the grain of the wood!! 

I also applied some decals I brought from eBay for silly prices (1 or 2 pounds will get you a fair few!) if you search for shabby chic transfers you should find some! They are really easy to apply with water, and the company I get them from give you a couple of extra ones to practice with! 

Here's the finished product: 

I already had the paint, so all in all this cost me less than £10! 

Now, where's my breakfast in bed?! 

Love, Sian 💕💕
