Breakfast Tray with Copper Piping for Home Depot

A few weeks ago, Home Depot asked me to participate in another fun DIY challenge. The challenge was to build something out of piping. I was a little hesitant to accept because I had never really worked with this material or a pipe cutter. 

I chose to to make upcycle this simple tray into a beautiful breakfast-in-bed tray with copper legs. Seeing that baby boy #3 is due any day and Mother's Day is right around the corner, I thought I might drop some subtle hints with this tray.

I added some feminine touches to the tray with thin crafting wire on the handles and copper leafing on the legs. I think it softens it a bit, don't you?

Home Depot Holiday Style Challenge Reveal

I'm excited to post that my Home Depot style challenge went live today! You may remember last spring when I participated in the Home Depot patio style challenge. This time around was a similar experience except I was decorating for Christmas in October!

I received my Home Depot style challenge shipment late in September... seven boxes to be exact. The shipment also included a seven foot Christmas tree and a challenge to create a dining room fit for the holidays. I quickly got to work transforming our casual dining space since this is where we spend the majority of our time opening gifts, eating breakfast and enjoying morning festivities. My goal for this space was to make it comfortable and fun for all ages, hence the hot chocolate and bubbly bar!

For all my Christmas decor and entertaining tips, please head over to the Home Depot website and check out the full holiday style challenge post. (Plus they have the best pictures from the photo shoot!)
