This is the raw wood serving tray and it has a mirror in the center which I was super excited about!

Make sure to check out your Target Dollar Spot for seasonal deals and decor. I definitely try to hit up this section every season. You can check out my YouTube channel for other Target tips and tricks as well.

After painting each section until it was fully covered, I let it sit for 30 seconds or more, and I wiped excess off with a old rag cloth.

I let it dry completely and I love how it brought out the texture of in the wood. I am so in love with this stain and the best part is that it's water based!

    Fantastic Target score! I would have grabbed the tray too, so much you can do with them. Stain, paint mod podge . . . Like having these for just as you have styled, snacks and reading material. Also like when doing projects, keeps items together and easy to move if not finished. Makes a wonderful gift idea too, maybe with a stencil or phrase on it. So many possibilities!

      Thanks Kippi for the Pin and you’re so right, they’re great all year around. I kind of am a tray junky as I have quite a few of them around the house because they’re so handy.
