Transforming a Thrifted Silver Tray

I recently ran across a silver plated tray for $5. I know, I have silver out the wazoo and could live the rest of my life without purchasing any more silver. But, I decided this one was too good to pass up and, I didn’t have one exactly like this. So, I plopped down my $5 and brought it home. Then I went to my go-to miracle worker. One swipe and I knew that I had made the right decision.

Can you believe the difference with one swipe? I used my Wenol metal polish.

You can read about how I used it on these brass table feet here. It is very easy to use and I am always pleased with my results.

I had to take the picture from an angle to keep it from looking like a mirror! It turned out beautifully! I decided to put it to use as a coffee station.

That may not be its permanent home, but for now I’m loving it there. I hope that your holiday preparations are coming along as well as mine are.
