Why to have similar to what you see!?! it's always good to give your own touch and it has that tocuh of yours. <br /><br />Do you know a fact? IF you would have said that I gave it this look instead of that neat look... many of us would have tried to give theirs tray the look of Apartment 412 (what you call is untidy or not that clean). I hope you understand what i mean. <3shoppingaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13582218817769149323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826069830006072665.post-14020339886503537162009-12-25T19:54:06.037-05:002009-12-25T19:54:06.037-05:00It's not that bad. :)

Then paint over that with the black. The white paint will bleed (if it is going to bleed) and it won't be noticeable, but it will also create a seal so the black can't bleed under the tape.Alannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421628210444027016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826069830006072665.post-3464495690216097022009-12-10T11:24:01.524-05:002009-12-10T11:24:01.524-05:00Hmm...what about painting the tray black and linin...Hmm...what about painting the tray black and lining the bottom with wallpaper?
