DIY Farmhouse Sectioned Tray
This project is for all of you who like to repurpose. Turn something you may already have into something new... for almost free! You'll never know what treasures you may already have!
I began this makeover with a sectioned wooden box I had in my craft cabinet.
The box was already stained!
You may not have a sectioned box but any wooden box will work as a great tray with the same technique.
As you're reading through this post please pay attention to the bold blue links for more Homeroad information and the products I used for this project.
The box was previously just holding "stuff" in a closet.
Since we are in the process of renovating, I've gotten a chance to dig through my stash and downsize.
When I ran across this box I knew I had found a treasure!
Here is how easy it was to transform an old box...
I began by searching out 4 cabinet knobs and 2 handles.
At one time I was gifted samples from a cabinet store that closed so I have all kinds of hardware.
You can purchase knobs and handles inexpensively on Amazon.
I spray painted the knobs and handles with black spray paint to make them match.
I drilled holes into all 4 corners of my box and used small screws to attach the "feet" to the bottom of my box.
Next, I drilled holes for the handles and attached one on each side.
If you don't have a drill you can use E6000 to attach your feet and handles.
That was pretty much it!
It will look great on the coffee bar, hold candles, spices, or holiday decorations.
I turned an unloved wooden box into a treasure I'll be happy to display on the countertop now!
And... it is the perfect place to hold tea bags on the coffee bar!
Hmmm, I wonder if that is what it was in a previous life? 🤔
It fits away in my organized coffee station drawer, an upgrade to one I made several years ago.
This is my new modern farmhouse kitchen that we just finished!
