Metal Tin Tray Blue Design Chalkboard Repurposed

Metal Tin Tray Blue Design was found with other trays with different colors, and design. I tried this one as my first project for making a chalkboard on it. This is the before picture.

Here is the after picture of the repurposed tray I did as a chalkboard. I had gone to 2 different stores that did not have the chalkboard spray I was wanting. Soooo, I regretfully got the pain on chalkboard, which would have not been bad if I had been more experienced with it. I used a sponge applicator, and applied the chalkboard paint. Unfortunately, I can see the lines, marks from me going back and forth with the sponge applying this. And, I am sure it probably did this because I have applied more than needed. Now I know, but with this I wish I would have known sooner. I do have other trays I found on the same day with this one. Red one, Black one with floral design, and a really Retro one with yellow, orange, and green colors. WooHoo!

Before I attempt another chalkboard I have made sure I found a can of the spray chalkboard paint which I feel for me will work better. So, whether I make more chalkboards, or magnetic memo boards with the other trays, I will make sure to show it here as well, ok? 

Thanks so much for visiting with Second Time Treasures. I enjoy your visits, and welcome all comments, and things you wish to share too. Take care everyone, and have a super weekend!:)

Cake Plate Stand 2 Tier Taylor Smith Taylor. This is a completed picture of this cake plate stand I have done. Many possibilities for this piece. Will be listed with my Artfire Store soon. Any questions, please contact me.

Top view of this Cake Plate Stand that is a 2 tier serving stand. The dinner plate has an aqua green color, pink rose in center, and is square like in shape. The salad plate is an aqua green colored plate. The drinking cup is glass with rose decals around it. 2 glass candle holders were used to attach the plates.

Another completed view of this 2 tier stand that was repurposed, and restyled by me. The glass was not attached so it could also be set to the side for another use while serving maybe some fruit, cake, muffins, cookies, organizer for your counter top, add to the decor of your bathroom with rolled cloths, and soaps. 


I truly enjoy making these cake plate stands as there are sooo many possibilities for their use. They are a versatile piece to fit with many rooms in your home. Even if you wanted to change the decor with one room, this could nicely fit into another room as well. This has not been listed for sale yet, but will soon be showing in my Artfire Store. Any questions, you are welcome to contact me. Thanks so much for visiting with me, and wishing all of you a wonderful weekend. Happy Thrifting, Repurposing, Restyling, Creating, Imagining, and all the above. Take care. 

Mikasa Cake Plate Stand 3 Tier Organizer Serving

Mikasa Cake or Plate Stand 3 Tier Organizer Serving


Welcome to LilacsNDreams Second Time Treasures, and glad to have you here!:) Below you will see 3 pictures for another project I have completed, and was finally able to get it pictured too. This is my first 3 tier plate stand I have made. I used a Mikasa Dinner Plate, a Mikasa Saucer, a Yellow Salad Plate, and 2 matching glass candle holders. All of these pieces have been attached with an industrial glue. I was fortunate that all the plates look like new yet. Even though the Mikasa plate are vintage, they still look very new and unused. The 2 glass candle holders are in excellent condition too. With the Mikasa plates I have tried selling them with 3 different market places for an extensive amount of time with no success. I get views for them, but they have never been bought. So, I figured it has been long enough trying this, and decided to repurpose them.

Mikasa Cake Plate Stand 3 Tier Organizer Serving is a picture of the finished, or completed product. This is a side view of this adorable piece that looks like new, and much less in cost than what Mikasa sells their 3 tier plate stands for. 

Mikasa Cake Plate Stand 3 Tier Organizer Serving is a picture of the completed product, and is a slightly top view of the piece. Wonderfully matching colors with all 3 plates. Item will be listed with my Artfire Store soon. Just a prior peek to what I have completed, and what to expect. 

Thanks so much for visiting with Second Time Treasures, and hope you are enjoying your visits. Always welcome to comment, and share with all of us here too. Take care, and have a super week everyone!:)

Repurposed Plates Candle Holders Plate Stands

Repurposed Plates, Plate Stands, Cake Plates, Candle Holders.

Welcome to LilacsNDreams Second Time Treasures, and happy to have you with us tonight. I have been trying to stay busy with working on things. Some items that have not sold for a very very long time have been either getting donated, or some I have pulled to the side to repurpose them too. 

Tonight I will  share a couple of before, and after projects I have completed. I have another one that is setting for the night drying before I do more gluing, and of course other pieces sitting here to be worked with too. 

Anyway, hope you enjoy the pieces. Always welcome to comment, and share with all of us too. 

Blue and White plate with a white ceramic candle holder. The before picture

Blue and White Plate Stand with many possibilities. Candle holder, Jewelry holder, holder for your glasses, great adorning the bathroom with some decorative soaps, some rolled cloths, great in the craft room with the slightly raised button design around the rim of the plate. Isn't it fun?

Here is a Green Plate, and a Candle Holder that has a fruity design around the middle and base of it. Colorful, and fun!:)

Green Plate Stand Fruity Pedestal is the finished product with many possibilities for this. The plate looks like a darker green than what it is in this picture. The above picture is more accurate of the coloring of the plate. This would look fabulous in the kitchen with some fruits on it, maybe hold your scrubby pads there, use it for a candle holder, use it to serve some smaller food items with, and the possibilities are endless with these pieces!

The items have not been listed for sale with my store as of yet. They soon will be, and I will notify you all of such. I am still working on growing my inventory a bit before the season starts after school has started. I enjoy showing you what I am accomplishing, and I enjoy repurposing different treasures around the home too. Any questions please ask. Thanks for visiting, and for viewing other projects I have done. Take care.
