Transforming a vintage cheese tray from meh to mid mod marvelous — with Georges Briard tile

I have about 10 projects running right now. None are getting done fast. So to make myself feel better, I did a “quick hit”: I easily transformed this vintage cheese tray from Wheat-y to…

… Georges Briard-a-licious.

The wheat tile — it’s enameled steel — popped right off. I peeled and scraped off the old glue. Then, simply pasted the New Old Stock Georges Briard tile on, I think I used high-heat hot glue. I got the Briard tile here, from a stash of TENS OF THOUSANDS found in a warehouse yadda yadda. 

I also hit the wood with a wood conditioner. Of course, consider whether what you are using is food safe.

The new/old tile fit perfectly. These cheese boards were super common — the tiles must have been a standard size accordingly. I see these cheese boards all the time at local estate sales.

I quite like this! So does DH! And I finished a project — oh happy day!
