Upcycled DIY Serving Tray Tutorial
For years I’d admired this gorgeous set of Pioneer Woman plates every time I’d see them on the shelf. I absolutely loved them but would always convince myself to wait to purchase a set. Well last summer I finally did it, I bought a set. Seeing them in the kitchen brightened my days. Little did I know that less then two months later we would lose everything in a wildfire, including these beautiful plates I’d waited years for.
To say I was bummed is an understatement. Luckily for me I was able to find some of the broken pieces amongst the ashes and was smart enough to keep them.
I’m happy to say, after a year, I’ve finally put them to good use.
