Chocolicious Tray.

Before. 

This shabby looking tray was turned into a chocolicious delight after several coats of my favorite Rosewood varnish were painted onto the wooden frame.

After about eight coats of the Rosewood varnish, a lovely deep colour appears that always reminds me of dark chocolate and in the after picture you can see how my Mama's chocolate migraine cake compares to the newly varnished frame.   

After. 

    As for the blue tray base, I have always loved the colour and felt no need to change it but by altering the wooden frame to a much darker colour the blue has become much fresher and vibrant. 

A simple solution for making a tired shabby tray into a delightful contemporary piece.
