Graphic Print Lacquered Trays

This past weekend I set out to make a fun graphic element for my home.  I have so many tea towels that I buy because I LOVE the pattern, but I don’t necessarily want to use them to wipe down pots and pans.

I got the idea to immortalize my favorite tea towels onto some plain wooden trays – resulting in a fun, graphic accessory for the home!

 

I love how the fabric grain is still visible, lending a slight amount of texture to the surface! If you saw my post last week regarding 5 ways to use trays, you probably have already caught on, that I LOVE trays.

I love them!  They are the perfect for so many things! (as shown above).

I promised myself early on in my blogging that I everything I created, I would make double.  So, true to my promise, I am placing the duplicate versions of these beautiful trays on ETSY! Fun for everyone!

Have a BOLD and FUN Wednesday!

    I just came across your blog via Chatelaine magazine. I know Muji from Japan. Where did you shop? Is Muji in North America now? I must look online. I outfitted my apartment and wardrobe when I was in Japan from Muji. I finally just had to let one of my all time favourite cardigans from there go to the recycle fabric bin…

      Hi laura! I travel to southeast Asia a lot for work and always get my muji fix in Hong Kong! There are a few stores sprinkled around
      The US, and an e-commerce portal, but they only offer a portion of the goods!
