Country Garden  Serving Tray

As you plan and prepare for outdoor gatherings, it's always a good idea to find unique and easy ways to brighten up your table. A pretty table cloth and flower arrangements are a great start. Bring an additional touch of style to your events with simple elements, like a painted wooden serving tray.

Find a wooden tray you'd like to update and apply paint in a pastel color, such as Rust-Oleum's American Accents French Lilac. Choose a tray that's functional yet decorative, with interesting ornaments or a unique shape. You can often find unique wooden trays at flea markets or garage sales. If you already have a collection you've been looking to use for entertaining, this project is a great way to get it out of storage and put to good use

Terrace Table

Looking to put a worn-out end table to good use? Give it a second life as a stand for your plants.

This terrace table project is an excellent way to display small or medium potted plants and flowers. Revive your table with a neutral color, like Rust-Oleum's American Accents Light Sage Satin Finish.

When you're ready to decorate, let your flower and plant choices bring variety to the table. Choose a mix of plants and blooming flowers, and don't be afraid to include a variety of planter shapes and materials. Your terrace table will be a rich addition to an indoor patio, a back porch, or a sunroom.
