I had a natural wood serving dish that, at one point, I used for it's original purpose -
to serve bread, crackers and cheese, or olives.

I get bored. So, I painted it dark brown, and used it as a centerpiece with tea lights.
And then I added some pine cones.
Today I needed a little something to do, so I painted it white,
and gold, and added a flower.
Now I'm going to use it to hold my jewelry at night.
So tell me! Do you get bored and change things over and over again?

Fantastic outcome on this tray! Yikes, makes me want to do one. LOL
Very nice Julia!! I love changing things up! Better to bring new life to something then to buy something new :)
Thank you Dana - I saw on pinterest that someone painted a salad bowl! I wouldn't eat out of it after I painted it, but it would be cool for decorations!
Denise - thanks! I hate throwing things away, so thus the paint! :)
REally beautiful! Love the gold on white.
This is really cute, I love how you painted it up!

I absolutely love how you repurposed that bowl. Awesome idea! You've inspired me to find something to "remix" around my house. Good stuff!
It turned out great! I need to make something like this for our entry table where my husband tosses his keys; right now, it just looks like a mess. :)
I change things up a lot too. :) This turned out great and I love the gold!
I love the white and gold combo ~ so pretty! Thanks so much for sharing at this week's Project Inspire{d} ~ pinning!
