Cabinet Door Serving Tray

I've been wanting to do something with a cabinet door for a while and finally got my inspiration on Pinterest. Someone had taken a cabinet door, stenciled it and used it for a serving tray. I decided to use...you guessed it, scrapbook paper and Mod Podge instead. I found this door at Habitat Restore for $4. 
In the paint section of Home Depot they have what's called "oops paint" that people return. You can find some really good deals! I found this sample paint for $1.50 and thought I'd try it. After painting a few coats on the door I used Mod Podge to glue the scrapbook paper to the recessed area of the door. Once it was dry I covered the paper with several coats of Mod Podge, allowing dry time between each coat. I always apply Mod Podge with a foam brush and even applied the paint with one as well. I spray painted these old drawer pulls and drilled holes on each end to install them (they come with the screws you need). 
And here's the finished product! I'm so excited about this one!! I have it on our end table in the living room right now for a pop of color.
