Trays and Decorating

Marty over at a Stroll Thru Life

blogged about an idea that inspired 

her to copycat another blogger.

  Marty was inspired by a silver tray 

cleverly mounted above a stove in a 

kitchen at  the blog Jennifer Rizzo 

 That inspired me to show my trays I 

have displayed in my kitchen.  

 I have this large rattan woven one with 

handles from Pottery Barn  

(from a group called Farmwire) and my metal tray I 

got from Wendell August stacked together 

along with a plate set in front.

The PB tray is deep enough to support the

2nd tray and the plate

 I secured it with a plastic zip

tie wrap and made a loop that

I hung on a nail to keep the tray

from sliding down

 I rarely show my kitchen because

it's so tiny! It's only 8 ft. wide

The wire basket was also from

Pottery Barn and the picture is

a print I selected on line from one

of those poster Co's.  I used a frame

I found at T.J. Maxx for it

 A friend of mine gave me these lovely

canisters from J.C. Penney and I recently

got the salt and pepper shakers

The tiered tray is another piece

from PB from the same group

 they had a couple of years ago

(I actually cut the top tier off because it was too tall to fit)

 My little "Louigi" as I nicknamed him

from Kirkland's 

(I featured him on my dish blog)

 So that's a quick mini tour of 

part of my kitchen and my

featured trays!
