DIY Large Round Serving Tray The Wood Grain Cottage

This was such an easy and affordable project!

I started by buying a large 18″ round board and two metal pulls from Lowes…

The wood was ready to go, so I stained it with Provincial by Minwax…

Once the stain dried, I applied a few coats of dark wax…

Once that had dried, we drilled the holes for the handles…

Then attached them….

I told you it was easy! But just because it was easy doesn’t mean that it doesn’t look great… This tray is absolutely beautiful!

I love, love, love the variations in the wood…

And the simplicity of the handles…

And the size!!

It’s also really thick and substantial, which gives me another reason to love it!

The handles are pretty fabulous too!

And I love that they stick up enough to be noticed…

It’s going to be such a versatile piece, and I can’t help but love the way it looks with apples…

It’s just yummy!

Simple and beautiful, just my style!

Here’s what April and Jen came up with…

April made this lovely winter photo display, I just love how it looks!

And Jen created something completely fabulous with clearance Christmas ornaments…
