Not long ago I saw a post on Pinterest that made me want to create. It was these lovely food servers that looked like they had been made out of spindles. I love the shabby chic look of the table. I obsessed over the picture for weeks and then one night I started creating. I love those nights when I am home alone and no one cares if I create at 1am.
I went to my wonderful garage and found lost of parts. After all the the drilling, sanding and the glue was dry this is what I had made.
Now it was time for the primer and paint. I primed and then added a coat of white.
The final product does not look quite as good as the Pinterest inspiration, but it is close. Mine need some staging with delicious food, a lovely table cloth, flowers, and china.

Awe, I adore baby showers. Isn’t it SO much more fun to make beautiful serving trays than to run out and buy them? I love the different heights of them, they make the table pop instead of just placing food on regular trays. Love this so much. Thanks for linking up to Thrifty Thursday.
