Tray Chic

    Trays are arguably the most versatile decor item in your home.       A tray can be a star or hold a supporting role when accessorizing.  Consider trays to anchor a centerpiece, contain a collection, in a stand on a bookshelf or kitchen counter or even hanging on the wall, which is where this tray was designed to go.

This very large hand painted metal tray is the perfect compliment to an art wall. When creating a wall grouping, of mainly framed items, it is always smart to add other dimensions. That includes display corbels, clocks, plates and of course, trays. 

This vintage tray is a piece of art itself. I snapped-it-up at an estate sale last week. The painting style on the face of the tray is neutral enough to compliment a wide variety of interior styles. 

The moral of the story?  Pull out those trays you use once a year and put them to work.
