Tray Chic ✨
Hello Friends!
My best friend Andrea, who passed away a year ago, was a design queen! She had great style and every time she came into my house, she would move one thing two inches and something else in front and it would look 100 times better! I do not have that gift. But one piece of genius advice she gave me that I do employ regularly is that “everything looks better on a tray.” A tray can make like items more organized, but also look more pulled together. A tray can be any material, any size, cheap and cheerful or luxe, or a pretty plate or slab of marble or wood, for example. Don’t think I haven't given this advice to all my kids, even my son who just moved into a dorm! Here are just a few of the trays in my house, including three in my kitchen, plus some other images for inspiration.

You don’t need anything fancy or expensive. H&M, Zara Home, Target and CB2 are great places to look. And just because something says it’s for the bathroom doesn’t mean you can’t use it in the kitchen. I do believe that it’s the simple things that gives us joy, and I think you’ll be surprised how pleasing it will be to you to see things you love grouped on a tray!
