{DIY} Lacquered Tray with Brass Accents

by Jennifer

A tray makes everything look better. Drinks, food, decorative objects, you name it. They make whatever is on the tray look instantly organized, intentional, and part of a plan. I’ve been wanting a tray for the top of the small chest we use as a bar cabinet but I was having trouble finding one that had the right dimensions and the look I wanted – simple and glossy with some gold accents. So I made one! Read on to see how to make a lacquered tray with brass accents.

The tutorial for how I made the tray is in my latest article for EHow but I wanted to share a couple of resources for the products I used.

  • I used simple rounded brass pulls (found HERE).
  • The brass corner straps  can be found here.
  • I used a basic white gloss spray paint but you can get an even glossier, truly lacquered finish with this furniture lacquer spray paint.

There are plenty of beautiful ready-made trays out there but making one allows you to customize the look and the size so you can get exactly what you want. It’s a great cost-effective way to get a high-end look too.

Meet Jen

I'm a design and DIY lover, decorator, modern home-maker, foodie, fashion enthusiast, and jill-of-all-trades when it comes to home improvement. I'm slowly but surely adding classic-contemporary style to my early 90's colonial home one inch at a time and I'm taking you along for the ride.

It's often messy - there are usually project remnants and toys strewn about - but the making of a home isn't always tidy work and I love showing you how you can make and style and organize your way to a home and a life you love!
