Bathroom Tray Beach Stripe Makeover

July 25, 2013 By Meegan 6 Comments

Hello!  Remember when I told you about trying to bringing a more masculine feel without losing my taste?  That’s what I did with this bathroom tray beach stripe makeover.

I do want to make it clear this has not been Hubby’s idea at all.  It is all from me.  Hubby loves when he comes home from work and there is something changed or moved around.  He NEVER complains.  This new look is all my idea.

 

Bathroom Tray Beach Stripe MakeoverLet’s get to it…

Bathroom Tray Beach Stripe MakeoverMy cute friend, Lynn saw this tray and thought of me.  Naturally, because it’s blue.  It is perfect size for our master bathroom counter.  But I am changing the colors and style a little in there.

So I got out some paint and got to work.

Bathroom Tray Beach Stripe MakeoverUsing a flat white paint, I dry brushed the whole tray.  I liked that the blue is peeking through.  It looks like more layers of paint, and aged.

Over that I painted various sizes of stripes with Valspar Antique Coral.  (I chose a coral color, because Hubby loves orange. This helps bring his taste into our home.)  Again, I used a dry brush with little paint.  This gives a worn look.  Just what I was hoping for.

Bathroom Tray Beach Stripe MakeoverI decided to even paint a narrow stripe around the side.  Each stripe was painted freehanded.

Bathroom Tray Beach Stripe MakeoverMy “new” tray looks great holding our q-tips and cotton in woven baskets (with blue stripes), along with my air plant terrarium made by my friend, Sherry.

I had so much fun with this Bathroom Tray Beach Stripe Makeover.  Bringing a new look and style just takes a little imagination and sometimes a little paint.

What are you going to makeover soon?  I would love to hear about it!

Before I forget…Did you notice my new slide show at the top of this post?  Fun, huh??  More new gadgets to make my blog reader friendly coming soon…
