After about 20 years, I got a new couch! So excited!
But that puts a slightly different spin onto all things eating in the living room, doesn't it? I needed a TV tray pronto, vs. balancing hot soup on my knee.
Digging through my junk stash, my eyes landed on a yellowed solid wood TV tray I've (hoarded?) had for at least 2 years.
Totally inspired, (thanks to a couch that desires to look new for longer than a day), I grabbed the pallet wood and paint.. and added a seriously fun, unexpected twist!
This interchangeable tray idea works hard (while looking gorgeous) everyday, yet still knows how to party!
I could only wish I had the same stamina...
Do you have an old TV tray this idea would work on?
Here's how I did it!

Two trays in one? Yes! With a twist!
This yellowed solid wood TV tray was spotted at a thrift store a couple of years back. No wonder it sat... as is, did not inspire me to use it!
Building the pallet wood tray
Stencilling the top of the pallet tray
This stencil comes with a super cool grain sack line feature! A light touch of red was added first.
Once the red was dry, the next stencil was painted right on top of the red line.
Well, just check that beauty out! All ready for hot cocoa!
The original TV tray prep
How cute and easy was that? Makes indulging my morning coffee habit even more fun!
