Fresh Coffee Buffalo Check TV tray

Just call me a TV tray fanatic at this point… because I can’t seem to keep my DIY efforts off of them!

But I think this design is my most fav to date!

I mean… it is coffee-themed after all…

This little tray started very blond and lacked a bunch of personality.

You may remember in its next life, it became this Homestead Blend Coffee tray with those cute black legs and a stained and stenciled top (awith an additional Christmas tray too!)

Anything coffee and woodsy and black is alright by me!

However…. it wasn’t to last… apparently.

Because once I got some new white Ikea Ektorp furniture, I wanted a fresh new companion for it all.

The TV tray top was sanded down, then stenciled in a large Buffalo Check pattern. Fresh and pretty!

So when I designed a new coffee-themed stencil, I wanted it to play somewhere fun and productive…

That’s when my eyes landed on the tray.

Forgive me tray, but I have new plans for you! While I didn’t reinvent the wheel, it certainly got greased… my fav kinda revamped revamp!

My goal was to have the Buffalo Check blend moreso as a background, kinda how I did the Houndstooth tray makever HERE.

So I stained the entire top with Fusion’s Stain & Finishing Oil in Cappuccino.

I brushed on the stain, wiped off the excess with a cloth and ended up with a wood tone so much more deliciously rustic! SWOON!

But we aren’t done yet…

I then stenciled Fresh Coffee on top with Fusion’s Raw Silk. It’s a stunning soft warm white that really blended well yet popped against the black and woodsy pattern! YUM!

How to stencil:

Position your stencil with masking tape.

Load stencil brush with paint, then off-load most paint until the brush is dry to the touch.

Tap the stencil until the desired effect is achieved. I went over it twice for more opaque coverage.
