Pink Rose Tray Makeover (with Prima transfer)
What a difference a little paint and a gorgeous Prima transfer make! This pink rose tray is a stunner now.
Hello friends! Happy trash to treasure Tuesday. :)
If you are new around here, a few friends and I get together every month to bring you our most recent “trash to treasure” projects.
So be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom to see everyones!
I hope you had a wonderful weekend. My husband and I hadn’t been to our beach house for about a month so made a quick trip down to do a few things. Thankfully we did because we had a little water leakage out of the HVAC unit. And thank goodness is was just a clogged drainpipe. So…easy fix! Whew!
While we were there we went over some things we want to do (again, lol) and even a few things we’ve decided not to do. But more on that later. We are still going to put in a new kitchen and new flooring though. The newest “thing” we’ve pretty much decided to do is…well…you’ll just have to go over and watch my stories on Instagram to find out!! haha (click here and then click the tab named “beach condo” to watch…it’s all the way at the end of those so click through if you’ve already watched the older ones) THEN…leave a comment below here to tell me what you think, good idea or no?! ;)
Okay, so you guys know I went thrift store shopping last week and put together a brand new haul.
This one…
I actually got FOUR bar stools but just didn’t put them all in the picture.
Plus lots of baskets, a super solid wood end table, plant stand, shelf, wood boxes, metal bucket, wall hangings, and a metal tray.
Today I’m making over the metal tray.
Pink Rose Tray Makeover (with Prima transfer)
Here is how it began…
I cleaned it up and painted it white with white satin spray paint.
MATERIALS LIST
- Pink Rose Prima Transfer
- White Satin Spray Paint
- Shimmer Spray Finish (similar to what I used)
- Caulk
Then I filled in all the cracks with white caulk.
Simple!
Next, I pulled out what I had left of this Prima graphic. (also linked in the Materials List above) and cut apart the rose and the word “Paris”…
See how much better the seams look once caulked? When it’s black you really can’t tell but once you paint something lighter, like white, you really should consider it.
You might remember I used the rest of this transfer on these two projects:
Then I applied the transfers to the bottom of the tray.
I decided to soften this one up a little. I pulled out an old, shimmery spray paint I have had for years. (it’s discontinued but I put a similar on in the materials list box)
Then I lightly sanded all the edges to bring the black underneath through for a slightly distressed look.
And finally, I sprayed it evenly over the whole thing to give it some shimmer and to make it a little more opaque.
It really softened the look of that transfer.
I like it both ways but this is just something a little different this time.
Simple is the name of the game today! This one certainly was. Prima transfers really transformed this old metal tray turned pink rose tray stunner.
PIN it to save it!
Don’t run off just yet! Check out what my friends did with their trash to treasure makeovers this month:
I hope you enjoyed these fun new makeovers today. I plan to be back on Thursday with this oak table set from my previous haul…

Oooh, Nancy, this really is lovely now. I’ve not seen the shimmery spray before, I love how it mutes the transfer for that shabby chic look. Definitely not trashy anymore!
So much lighter and brighter. Beautiful.
So pretty! Those transfers are magical! Can’t wait to see what you did with the table and chairs!! XOXO
Oh I love that makeover.! I have never heard of shimmery paint but love that idea. Adding transfers really makes a project, I think. I really need to do that! Can’t wait for your post on Thursday!
Thanks, Donna! And yes, I think so too! :) xoxo
That turned out so great! Love those transfers and with a light dusting of finish over the top – WOW! The whole group did a great job today. Thanks for all the inspiration!
Doesn’t that shimmer just make it so lovely? Thanks so much, Vicki! xo
Love it! My name is Rose, last name is french so perfect combo!
Aw, that’s perfect, Rose! xo
This turned out really pretty!
Thank you, Carla!! xo
This thrifted tray turned out so pretty, Nancy! I love how the transfers can be cut up and used on so many different pieces. xo
Thank you, Jen! Yes, me too! xo
