They have been in my garage for about a year, then out by the trash cans for about a month.... until I decided to try spray painting them. I was going to trace the flowers and cut a stencil to cover them and spray paint everything white.... but seriously, I'm crazy-- but not that crazy! So I opted instead to cover the entire rectangle part of the tray and paint everything else once the trays & legs were degreased. Taaaaaa daaaaaaa, now they are Shabby chic t.v. trays and I lurve them!.jpg)

I have the same set, what a wonderful idea. I couldn't bear to paint mine and they are used on a daily basis. Isn't it amazing how the "vintage" items are still around! Love what you did with them and so glad you didn't paint over the gorgeous roses! Thanks for sharing!

I wish I could find an old TV tray. They used to be so common and cheap, but I think most of them must have been thrown away. I did see a reproduction and it was very expensive.
