My mom had this hideous black tray with orange laminant on the surface. I was the kid who used it to hold my plate of food when my extended family would gather together and watch football on the television on New Years Day. I don't have any fond memories of this tray. And when my mom was going to throw it out I let out a startling "NO!" which surprised us both. But, I took the tray home to use for my own family. It sat in a cupboard for years and was rarely used. I recently was trying to decide if I should just chuck the ugly thing or make it lovely. And, of course, I decided to make it lovely. I had my older kids help rip off the old laminant. I spray painted it my favorite shade of Heirloom White. And I decoupaged it with some of my favorite paper. Here it is in all it's splendor. I think it is "Simply SophistiChic" if you ask me.
