My interior design philosophy is that you can never have too many trays in your home. I probably own close to a dozen and use them to corral flowers, hold candles, create pretty spaces for jewelry, as a mail organizer, and for serving cocktails. This tray, in particular, is one of my favorites since it’s a cross between rustic and modern, but plain enough so that you can customize it with just a couple of simple steps.

For an afternoon cocktail gathering recently, we decided to make ours feel a bit more festive with some glitter tape that we ran along the edge and then wrapped hemp twine cord around the handles to offset the sparkles  I love how it came out, but I am perhaps even just as excited about the fact that if I want a holiday-inspired tray in a couple of months that I can easily re-do the entire thing.
