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!

  5. Oh I love your kitchen. It is fabulous and your trays are wonderful. I really like all of your accessories, so pretty and the glass doors are fantastic. I had a small kitchen like yours in a previous house and I loved how easy it was to cook. Definitely a one person kitchen, but fabulous. Yours looks amazing. You need to do a post showing all of it. It looks amazing. Thanks for the shout out, this is great fun. Hugs, Marty
