Tray Chic

I love trays.

One of the indisputable laws of the universe is that darn near everything looks better when it’s on a tray. Not only that, but if you’ve got a mish-mash of items sitting on a counter or a dresser they instantly look more cohesive, more organized and just plain prettier when you place them on a tray.

Another bonus: Trays are practical. Served dinner for four on the patio? You can make quick work of the clean-up by stacking dishes on a tray to bring them inside.

I bought this striped tray just recently. It's now found a home on the kitchen table playing host to a trio of squatty glass candle holders. I like it because it’s bold and cheerful. I have several trays and I love them all.

Here are a few cool trays I found poking around online tonight:
