Tv Tray Ideas....

So, I was given TV trays from the (I believe) 1960s, from a guy I work with.  He didn't give me an exact date only that he remembered them from his high school days.  But, I mean who's gonna turn down FREE VINTAGE stuff... Not this girl that's for sure. So, I figured that I really wanna add a little color to them and make them a little more fancy for my lovely little place here. 

 So, let me start off by showing you what they look like now... 

 

 *As you can see their in good shape. 

I'm just not all about the dark wood color. 

So, here is what I was thinking about doing...

You can see how this is done HERE

 I think I would want different colors maybe a blue, yellow or white, but this is along the lines of what I'm thinking.  

So, here's to hoping I can talk the other half into letting me go with bright lively colors for my living room and of course once I have finished this little project of mine I'll be posting some pictures and step by steps. :)

If you have any other ideas on how I can possibly make these unique and bright I would love to here from you!
