Jumbo Wood Tray

Autumn Floral Wooden Box

Autumn is upon us, friends! When I received this lovely box from a friend, I immediately knew it needed a floral makeover. The newly released Autumn Morning Dixie Belle transfer looks absolutely stunning against the pretty green paint, don’t you think?

This gorgeous wood tray was purchased at a local church thrift sale. It had such beautiful grain and size I could not pass it by.

Somewhere along the lines it must have had handles of some sort. I filled this with wood filler and sanded the tray smooth.

I will add this sleek new silver handles but which orientation? I did a poll on the Creative Moment's Instagram and Facebook pages; there were loads of votes but both were split about 50/50.

We decided to go with on the side for ease of handling, easier storing and better stability. My handyman drills new holes for the hardware and I installed it.

I had envisioned the word GATHER on this tray. Using my script stencil I moved it around to see where it would look best. My sister suggested the lower corner which I loved!
