DIY acrylic bathtub tray

My bathroom holds a special place in my world of relaxation and peace. I want it to feel spa like and sparkle whenever I decide to take a long bath or shower. Today, I am going to share with you how to make a DIY acrylic bathtub tray. I use it while I take a bath so that I can listen to music, read a book or apply a face mask. It really helps to keep things from falling into the bathtub.

But first let’s talk about that sparkle in the bathroom and how to keep this special space feeling like a spa. I use Pledge® Orange Clean Furniture Spray to keep my cabinets clean, dust-free, and have that sparkle feeling. It helps with the entire spa-like experience in the bathroom. I use it to renew the area if I want to plan a night in and take my time to enjoy some bubbles and my current playlist. I love the orange scent and how it keeps dust down in the bathroom. Because who wants to sneeze in the spa?

Also, I make sure that I clean off all surfaces so that I can lay out hand towels and all the things I will need for my spa night. I use Pledge® Multi Surface Everyday Cleaner with Glade® Rainshower® to wipe down my sink area and the other surfaces where dust likes to collect. There is nothing worse than sitting down to enjoy spa night and see dust.

I also use the Pledge® Multi Surface Everyday Cleaner with Glade® Rainshower® to clean off all my jars where I store cotton balls, q-tips and bath beads, because they can collect dust and fingerprints over time as well. And in my garden tub area I have a window that I have placed some plants on because they help with the calming nature of my at home spa; this area needs to stay clean as well.

I use the Pledge® Multi Surface Everyday Cleaner with Glade® Rainshower® to keep the window sparkling so that my plants can get all the sunshine to stay alive in my spa like retreat. I love the idea of having plants in almost all the rooms in my house. You can stop in Kroger and grab a few small house plants and then swing by the cleaning aisle and grab some Pledge®.  Now, let’s get to the DIY acrylic bathtub tray. And good thing you can use the Pledge® Multi Surface Everyday Cleaner with Glade® Rainshower® to keep it sparkling.

Have the hardware store cut 2 sheets the same width and size for your bathtub. Mine is 34 inches long by 12 inches wide.

Measure handles and then use drill in backwards mode to drill holes. Use clamps to keep drill aligned with 2 sheets of Plexiglas. You will drill holes in both pieces at the same time.

Use glue to attach PVC trim to finish edge of top sheet of the Plexiglas tray. The second sheet is used to help stabilize the tray because of the width.

There are no words to describe my love for my Mama There are no words to describe my love for my Mama fully. She was my biggest fan, my greatest supporter, and the one who helped me navigate life through its many ups and downs. She prayed for me, encouraged me, and always believed in me, even when I doubted myself.

I owe her my life's work and every accolade I've achieved. She saw me through undergrad, guided me as I navigated Corporate America—even though she had never experienced it herself—and kept me grounded through it all. 

She prayed with me in moments of joy and in times of need. She stood proudly by my side on my wedding day and cried with me through some of the most challenging moments of my life.

My mom saved my life in more ways than I can count. Her love and guidance shaped the person I am today, and her passing has forever changed me.

On November 26, 2024, Esther Gleaton went home to be with her ancestors. I find comfort in knowing she is finally at rest, free from pain, and in eternal peace. 

My mother bravely faced a short but aggressive battle with Plasma Cell Leukemia, spending 72 days fighting inpatient at the Northside Hospital Cancer Bone Marrow Transplant Unit. She fought with courage, grace, and incredible strength.

In sickness and health, my father, Orbie Gleaton, was by her side daily. He saw her through the very dark days and celebrated the joyful moments with her. 

His love and devotion to my mom never wavered—he never left her side. The love they shared is eternal and serves as a beautiful testament to the bond they built together.

Mama, your love will guide me forever. You are my heart, and I will carry you with me always.

Angela, Orbie, Carla, Carmelia & Amelia we will take care of Daddy. 🤍🕊️ #Multiplemyeloma #cancersucks  #plasmacellleukemia

As we proceed (God is doing a great work)
Is that this work
Did not begin with you (God is doing a great work)
Our mothers' mothers 
And fathers' fathers 
Planted seeds
When we were but the faint notion of a dream 
In their mind
They hope for a harvest a legacy, a great work
So make your next step forward
Help us to connect the dots and see
"Wherever you go in this world you will never be a "Wherever you go in this world you will never be alone. You carry with you the hopes and prayers of the ancestors. There will be days in this life when you feel alone, but know that the ancestors are with you. When you go for that job interview remember that you are carrying the ancestors with you. Everyone who has ever cared for and prayed for you goes with you when you are alone. Some of those people will never get to have your experiences or go in those boardrooms, but you carry them with you. You are the manifestation of an impossible dream - through middle passage, slavery, reconstruction, Jim Crow, segregation, civil rights - they believed that it was possible. My sister(s) you will never be alone because we all go with you."— Maya Angelou
