Before & After - Faux Brass Bamboo Tray

At the moment, Jaithan and I are still organizing ourselves after Atlanta, not to mention preparing for this weekend's presentations on color at the Jersey Home Show. In the meantime, we're sending you over to our good friend Lauren with Pure Style Home, for a guest post we did turning an old faux bamboo tray into tres chic barware!

I haven't been able to find a bamboo travel around my town lately..been looking with little luck. I would love to do something similar to what you did because it turned out so wonderfully! This piece would go great in my living room... is it for sale? :D

Just looking through your wonderful archives and here's an odd thing - I have a pair of the tall version of those black and gold glasses in the 'after' pic. Never knew they were part of a pattern set!

Gorgeous {of course}. Looks like something one would see inside Tiffany in their estate collection.

I just noticed you'll be at the Jersey Shore home show this weekend...we're getting ready to reno the shorehouse attic so we'll be there! :-) Hopefully you'll be able to peel away to head over to Asbury Park for dinner while you're in town.

I love a tray....any tray. Once I found an old discarded table on the side of the road, took it home, removed the legs and voila - new tray! Love this one especially!! xoox, P

Hi Eddie and Jaithan, Love the tray the touch of bamboo is what makes it so special,most people would have passed right by that one. You are teaching us to be more observant and in doing so you show us the rewards for that: A beautiful tray! I have a question about Brasso, I ran out of my regular brass cleaner by Wrights and used Brasso and it etched my brass faucet and made it dull looking when you said your tray took on a matte finish it made me think that maybe that is why. Have you found that to be true on other brass pieces I am afraid to continue using it so I am on the hunt for Wrights again. xo Kathysue

Would love to know where in Norcross you found the bamboo tray. Fantastic restoration!

[Connie @ Sogni e Sorrisi]

I love this. I have been obsessed with trays lately and I love the job you did with this one!
