Fabulously Updated Dinner Tray

I am still in love with my basement makeover, but there is one eye sore left... This lovely little dinner tray.  I use it a lot while I'm blogging from the couch, the kids use it to sit and color at, and of course meals have been eaten on it as well from time to time.  We don't have an end table downstairs, so it actually gets a lot of use... as can be seen!

I was sick of looking at its nasty surface- and that's been cleaned, I swear, so I pulled out some paint, Mod Podge, scrapbook paper and clear coat and went to town and ended up with this:

Ahhhhh.  So much better!  And no running downstairs to quickly fold it up and hide it behind the couch when company comes over!
