Green and Floral Round Tray Makeover

  This round tray has been completely reimagined. Its original shabby chic white finish has been updated to a rich dark green, and a delicate floral rice paper adds a touch of elegance. A final layer of dark wax deepens the colour and accentuates the details, giving it a beautifully aged, vintage feel.

Farmhouse Crate


This little wooden crate just needed some paint and dark wax to give it personality.

It is available on my Etsy store


Start by scrubbing the piece well with a cleaner like Simple Green cleaner and a scrub brush to get in all the corners.


Jolie Paint's palace white was dry brushed on all sides then lightly sanded to smooth the wood and remove some of the paint using a sanding sponge. A damp cloth wiped a bit of the paint off the metal corners for a worn look.


The entire crate was sealed with Jolie's clear wax using their fabulous wax brush. To add dimension and give an aged look, their brown wax was applied in corners and around the edges. I LOVE their wax brush and have 2, one for each color wax.
