I just spray painted the frames, distressed a few of them and added some bling (paper :) ) under the glass. And this is what happened:Then I thought, whats a tray without handles? So I went to the Home Depot and got myself some extra cute hardware to put on the sides and made an extra cute tray that I can put glasses and food and mail and whatever the heck I want on it.
This was the before:

I use this tray for my "coffee station". It slides in and out of the corner perfectly by just adding some adhesive sliders on the bottom. Here's the before (pretty huh?): And after:
