Happy August, sweet friends! Last month I had to sit out of our monthly thrift store makeover post. I was afraid that this month that I'd have to sit out again, but luckily I was able to make it work!
Our beach house was hit by Hurricane Isaias. It wasn't too bad, but we did have 2 windows blown out in the guest bedroom. We've been in cleanup mode. 
I had a picnic basket that I was going to bring with me to the beach to work some magic on, but I left it at home. Lucky for me, there is a fabulous Restore right down the road from us at the beach. We made a family trip there and left with a tray for me to use for this month's challenge, a gorgeous vintage oil and a new shelf system for the basement to replace the one destroyed from the flooding. 
At first look, this looks like a carved, stained wooden tray. It is sadly not. It is a resin type material that is stained. As you start to clean it, the finish started coming off. That was ok….I was going to paint it anyway.

I really like this Chalky Finish paint by Krylon for wood type projects. I always try to keep the white on hand. It is so versatile. 
This project could not have been simpler! A few coats of spray paint and I was done! I did finish it off with the matte sealer to it would retain the look of the chalky finish paint. 

I love it fresh in the white. It will go with so much!
Please note that this is not food safe! You will not want to put food directly on the painted sur...
