As you know, specific corner racks are quite expensive but I just wanted something movable under my countertop! <br /><br />As divine inspiration I found in Ikea that tray on my left hand and the the lazy susan on my right hand, and sizes matched perfectly... <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPZlquK2dBY6RyidizCXWJm4FNWdFmq8UoPhSp9wI51PUQycNt3nGniqgjGgwdiSXr2ewukCU1fkEsUpZ2qq82H5ToPf8HiMwZMO3IBZhyfWC2ZteED73KgJRrIoo7uexgpjear12FFz7A/s1600/ydna+hack1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPZlquK2dBY6RyidizCXWJm4FNWdFmq8UoPhSp9wI51PUQycNt3nGniqgjGgwdiSXr2ewukCU1fkEsUpZ2qq82H5ToPf8HiMwZMO3IBZhyfWC2ZteED73KgJRrIoo7uexgpjear12FFz7A/s640/ydna+hack1.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><br />~ Ydna, Granada, Spain

I often eat at the coffee table especially when Glenn is gone so I thought a tray would be useful for carrying my dinner and glass of wine. <br /><br />We have an entire drawer full of travel brochures, maps, tickets stubs and all sorts of Japanese memorabilia since we've lived here for 18 months. I thought it would be fun to use all of this to dress up the plain tray. <br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqTuqQP7YP7N7V_mGzA-_43RVBXcHHtHI6tdWeUq31ak-pZM3L2MkKXL1FNjDS38xJGV0DNNn-aGHk1cgksQ5v2PYDNqiVi40Yv4xjd05et3_232Oa4ZWOgnomHy_jkvEnbopbDZlYLI_B/s1600/IMG_2873-775529.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="640" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487976391995273570" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqTuqQP7YP7N7V_mGzA-_43RVBXcHHtHI6tdWeUq31ak-pZM3L2MkKXL1FNjDS38xJGV0DNNn-aGHk1cgksQ5v2PYDNqiVi40Yv4xjd05et3_232Oa4ZWOgnomHy_jkvEnbopbDZlYLI_B/s640/IMG_2873-775529.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br />I used <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Podge-CS11302-Original-16-Ounce-Finish/dp/B001IKES5O?ie=UTF8&tag=ikeahacker-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">Modge Podge</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ikeahacker-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B001IKES5O" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> to glue down the paper scraps and then 5 coats of the Podge on top. Waiting for it to dry between each layer. I had high gloss Modge Podge so it has a glossy finish.
