Happy Tuesday, Friends! Today I'm delighted to be joining the Summer on a Tray blog hop hosted by the gracious Katherine from Katherine's Corner! If you love styling a pretty seasonal tray for a special occasion or "just because," you're in for a treat today because you'll find tray decor inspiration from a total of fourteen bloggers
For those of you dropping by after visiting Niki from Life as a Leo Wife , wasn't her kitchen tray lovely? If you're new here, I'm sending you a warm--or maybe I should say scorching hot!--welcome from Texas! If you've been here before, you'll remember the cozy reading nook I shared last month, including a few of my favorite things above. Today I want to show you how to use a large tray to create more tabletop space...
This sweet vintage table was a thrift store find that I upcycled years ago. I love the table, but the top is barely 10" in diameter. By centering this pretty floral round tray on top, it adds an additional 6."
That extra space allows room for everyday favorites...
...plus a few extras like fresh flowers and a mid-morning or afternoon treat!
You can find my healthier iced mocha recipe, here.
It's been SO hot the last several weeks that I haven't done much baking lately. While I did not make these yummy raspberry macarons, you can look here for my baking tips to make your own.
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

ReplyDeleteCecilia,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!! I love the fact that you used a tray to increase table space.. I have done this before using a glass table round and covering it with a table cloth...such a pretty tray too and I love your sweet corner ! Great touring with you!

Cecilia, your reading nook looks like the perfect spot for our HOT summer here in TX. I'm staying inside, only getting out if absolutely necessary! Great idea to increase the tabletop size with a tray. Enjoy your summer. Fun being on this hop together.
