DIY Budget Friendly Farmhouse Display Tray Riser | DIY Wood Project

Do you like to have items to display things on?   Trays, stands, or risers?

I really like being able to have different decorative pieces at varying heights.
I think it just adds so much more interest.

So I guess it is time for a diy project.. with a little nod to rustic farmhouse charm.





I wanted to make some wood farmhouse style display risers or trays but wanted something
fun to use as the feet to give them a little height.
I searched online until I found something that I thought would work perfectly and was also
budget friendly.

So I went through my scrap wood and found some pieces of wood that would work for my
project and got to work on it.

I used my sander to smooth out all the edges, then I took them inside and
painted them.



I started by making one and I liked it so well that I ended up making 2 because I had enough
'feet' to make 2 of them.





I painted one white, and the second one I added a little bit of gray to it for a slightly different look.

After the paint had dried, I used my sander again to smooth out any
paint marks and distress each piece.





Then I took them back inside again and using wood glue I put the feet on the bottom where I
wanted them to go.


After they had dried I had fun moving them around the house and seeing where I want to use them.








I tried it on my dresser with a wax warmer and some perfume, how cute is that?!



I also tried it on a table..


On my desk.. (this is the one with gray)





and to display my farmhouse fall pumpkin picture.
(can see that diy project here)




I think they are perfect for what I wanted.
They could be used for so many things and made in a variety of sizes, and colors or stains.
So versatile and fun!

In fact I ordered more of the wood feet,  (*affiliate link)
because I am thinking about a few more of these in
different sizes, and I have another idea in mind for them as well.

I definitely want to make one in a dark wood stain so I have a darker option to use as well.
What do you think ~ should I make one that is done in a dark stain with white feet?
or dark stain with natural finish wood feet?  I think I am leaning towards leaving
the feet natural wood.. but, I am ready for them to arrive so I can get to work
on it! 😉
