DIY Bath Tray
Hey Guys,
Coming through with a quick project. This time a Bath Tray. DIY style!!!
I’m typically a shower girl, I like to be in and out in 5 minutes flat. YES, you can wash everything in that amount of time 😜. With that said, not often do I find myself in a water drawn tub.
But there are times when I just need to relax, which happens to coincide with me also being cold. When I get this feeling (in my Marvin Gaye voice), I fill the tub with warm to hot water, with some smell good bubbles, dim the lights, play some soft music in the back ground, and chill with my book. (Ok, who am I kidding, my phone.)
So, I was out browsing on Pinterest and ran across a plain wood bath tray. It just wasn’t glam enough for me. So my spin on it was to add a mirror top. And that’s what I’m here to show you.
Hope you enjoy. See you at the end of the post.

Thank you Chrysta!!! How have you been girl. Hope you and the fam are ok. 🙂
What colour paint did you go with for this? It’s beautiful! I’m definitely going to steal this idea from you 😛
Hi Hazel. It was a fun and easy project. Thank you! I used the DecorArt Elegant Finish – Metallic Paint. It’s a metallic silver/gold mix. If I did another, I think I would play with some bold colors. Have fun making it and thanks for dropping by.
