Lacquer Trays.

17 Feb 29 Comments
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.

    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.

    BTW, I am a new reader and I love your “Wash your hands” sign. Is that a printable you did yourself?

    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.

    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
