Lacquered trays are all the rage these days.
While at Target I found this Easter tray for $2.50 in the dollar section.
I sprayed it with primer and paint.
My own little lacquered tray.
Lacquer Trays.
I sprayed it with primer and paint.

Great find at Targie. Yes, tray’s are all the rage and oh so usable in every room, even closets and drawers.
Great post.
Target is the best. Especially the dollar section… nice job.
love it!
I love em! Going to check some of them out.
Michelle you are one thrifty clever lady, great idea. Everyone needs a tray from time to time!!! Great idea. I need to go to Target today!! KS
Genius! I love it in all white!
So smart! I clearly love laquer trays, because I have one of each of these from pearl river, target, and west elm.
I have a few lacquered trays that I purchased from Target after Christmas. They all in the closet, I think I might use a couple in the space that I’m working on.
Great job! I am using trays all over my house these days.
BTW, I am a new reader and I love your “Wash your hands” sign. Is that a printable you did yourself?
It looks fabulous. Love it. Hugs, Marty
Love them all!

Love all the trays. Great find at Target I think I will be heading there soon.
You’re so good! Lucky me, I have to go to Target today…
Yeah for cheap finds that you can make your own! It looks fab!
I couldn’t find a tray in my price point, so I revamped a Goodwill picture frame.

What type of primer/paint do you use and how do you spray it on? This looks great!

She’s a beauty! Did you use a high gloss paint or do some kind of shellac finish? Such a good idea…
I made a faux lucite tray from a cheapo acrylic picture frame recently.

I wish I had found the target tray. I just brought the smaller tray in blue from west elm yesterday for $22.
Wow what a transformation!! I love the way you used the tray.
LOVE the tray…where did you get the shelf liner?
Ummmm one word comes to mind..AWESOME! I love when you can get the exact look for a lot less!
Great find!!! Love Tar-zay!!!

Great idea… I just picked one up and put it back down the other day…. thinking I should have gotten it.
I have the same question about the wash your hands sign as someone above… I want one.
i had to get one. thanks for posting this.
Great selection. The company I work with also produces lacquer trays, we’ve been working with the same artisans in Vietnam since the mid-90s. The technique was pioneered in Japan and the Vietnamese have embraced it. You can check out our range at http://www.nomliving.com
Good stuff!
we are actually thinking of upcycling some of our lacquerware using paint / décourage techniques.
We sell a huge of lacquer trays at http://www.nomliving.com, different shapes, sizes and colours.. also lacquer boxes. We have been working with the same producer for over 15 years.
