Pier One to Pottery Barn Trunk Makeover

A client brought in this Pier One trunk/coffee table to be painted. They wanted the finished product to be in the style of Pottery Barn furniture. The result was just what they envisioned. Now this updated, custom painted trunk/coffee table is ready to go back home and give them years of service.

Jumbo Wood Tray


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!


Using chocolate Fusion Mineral Paint I stenciled the word on.


To rehydrate and seal the wood I applied clear wax and hand rubbed it in. Perfection!
