vintage serving tray {turned} jewelry organizer

April 8, 2015 by Lindsey Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago I was perusing one of the local antique malls (which, if you aren’t aware, is a massive building with hundreds and hundreds of antique vendors) and kept stumbling upon this same mid-mod style serving tray. Vintage Serving Tray {turned} Jewelry OrganizerI thought it was the perfect solution for jewelry organizing and I loved how it closed down but the top tray was open for those pieces you wear regularly.

Tray After Closed

They were mostly priced between $20-30 and I felt like that was more than I wanted to spend for jewelry organization. So when I stumbled upon one priced at $11 I jumped on it.

Tray Before

It was definitely priced lower because of the condition, was much more beat up, and the finish was wearing off of it, but it was getting a coat of paint anyway so I didn’t mind.

Tray After Half Open

I actually used the leftover paint from our bathroom, Behr’s Lime Light, and love the way it looks with the beat up gold accents. I thought about spraying the gold parts with a fresh coat but decided I liked the imperfections.

Tray After

I took all the pieces apart and gave it two coats of paint with a few last touch ups. The whole thing took me maybe an hour while watching a movie last weekend. It’s great functionally and I love that it’s more of an art piece, than a box, to add to the top of the dresser.
