I often send note cards to clients or buyers and I needed a place to keep everything organized. When I came across a Lucite tray it gave me the idea to create a writing station.
As a decorator and wardrobe stylist, layering is one of the key elements I use to create one-of-a-kind look.
Layering tip: Create a zone for special objects by placing one tray inside another.
I don’t want to get too crazy with small things because the objective is to make this organized, not cluttered.
And this was totally affordable. The acrylic tray was only $1.99, the silver tray was .99 and the trophy I’m using as a pen holder was $1.50.
Are there any tips you have for putting trays to work? Id love to hear them.
WOAHHHHHH
I love how it keeps it looking organized, not messy. And doesn't take up too much visual space! I went to my favorite thrift store today and picked up a few silver trays – this is a great way to put them to use!
Not taking up visual space was probably why I was drawn to it. I dont like clutter.
I also use a silver tray under my Keurig. Due to lack of kitchen space…I like to push it back under my cubbords after morning coffee. I put the silver tray on a pretty tea towel, and it slides back and forth easily. Before I had it on the pretty silver tray…it kept coming apart on me!
Love it! And you too Mr. Goodwill Hunting! Thanks for sharing!
Excellent! Love lucite, has such a luxe touch.

Very classy!
Yes…I love it
Samar, I love what I see, but for me what ever I try to do never works. I don't know where to start my rooms are huge, including mastersuite I have 7 bedrooms, on the 2nd and 3rd floor with 3 full bathrooms. 1st floor I have. A sunroom, a grand room full dining room, butler pantry, a large eat in island kitchen that takes you out to a deck. A guest powder room, a huge foyer. The smallest room in the 6000 sf house is 15 by 15. Soooo hard to decorate it. I need to renovate whole house one room at a time I just don't know where to start the floors, painting, furniture, not easy.o_O
You are awesome, a very creative eye that I love-
I love lucite -the way it fades into your decor automatically gives it a less cluttered look. I stumbled on you via AT I think, then again recently through Haven via Nester. I now have a 3rd compelling reason to get that Haven ticket (1. YHL, 2. Anna White 3. Mr. GWH!) Btw, your piece on Nate Berkus was great.
I absolutely LOVE your style! Kudos.
