French Grain Sack Inspired Snack Tray


One boring, run of the mill snack tray.



A bit of French vintage inspiration, some paint,
And ...



Voila!
My Vintage French Grain Sack Snack Tray!
For those of you who are wondering why the number
1913 ...
That's the year our cottage was built.



Thrifty and fun!

That was fun Bentley ~ what should we
transform next?

Love,
Susan and Bentley

    Now that is just so stinkin' gorgeous! I bet you had a big ol' grin on your face as you made this because I sure would have. It looks great and I love how you photographed it too. Just saw one of these tables at an estate sale and I ignored it. Too bad I hadn't seen your post because that would have made me buy it. Thanks for the wonderful inspiration!
