Vintage Tray Wall

I am so in love with my vintage tray wall that I finished up today. It's only taken me 3 months to get it all done. Why do personal projects take me so darn long? I've got to take some each week to get a little bit done for my home!! I have to say that the Country Living Fair sure did motivate me to nest a bit more!!

 

I bought the wire hangers from a very kind Etsy shop ower!! Marmee Rob's Shoppe They were great for the bigger trays, nice and sturdy!! For the smaller trays I used the sticky disc's that I got off of Ebay. I have to say they were pretty wonderful, just make sure you get out a measuring tape and really get the disks centered. You know I learned that one the hard way, at least you can reposition them if you don't get them right the first time.  

I love these so much, I've been collecting them since we moved into the house 14 years ago. If my memory serves me right the large round coffee tray was the first one and was gift from my MIL! 

Which one is my favorite? I have to say that the 2 BBQ trays really do make my heart sing!

What about the extras? I've got to have some laying around that I can use, don't I? We use our trays as project trays. Lego's, embroidery, or homework. Trays are great to keep things in one spot.

Today is brought to you by the letter M

So my favorite thing about Sunday morning is the Etsy "Get the Look" email in my inbox. It sends me off to many fantastic homes across the country, I am such a home decor voyeur, especially when it comes to that vintage and sometime kitschy look. Last Sundays GTL featured Kim Ludy's Mid-Century Modern home, and well, I must say I was inspired. Right away I jumped up from the computer and mimicked her vintage tray vignette. I knew I had just the tray hiding out in the pantry. Isn't it great, it is from my kids 94 year old Great Grandmothers home. The great thing about the GTL articles are the links for all those inspiring little goodies in the persons home. So, after combing Etsy I found the perfect letter M at Art Vintage, it is so cool. I have been wanting a great big letter since I saw this on Design Sponge, to die for!
