It all started with my salt and pepper grinders. They always leave a little residual dust on my counter and I was getting tired of cleaning it up. I saw this small bamboo tray at the Container Store and that’s all she wrote. This great little tray is sturdy, water resistant and also holds other herbs I use regularly as well as my olive oil. It made it so much easier to clean up the counter. So my tray love affair spread to the bathroom and office and now all the little stuff that was scattered about (such as makeup, pens, calclulators) now has a stylish home. These are the things that truly make me happy: Sharpie pens, clean stacks of laundry and now the trays…

In the interest of spreading the “tray love” I selected a few different styles for you. I kept the price point and maintenance low so bathroom and kitchen use are fair game. So pick up a couple and start herding all the little items that cover your countertops. You can thank me later.

Loved, loved the post. I read it on Faith Sheradon’s design blog and loved your writing we have a very similar style. And what a cool tray. I liked how you said, “heard all your little items” such a great sentance. Oh and I love sharpies too. I have three of the little ones in my purse at all times. Great blog I will have to visit more oten. I also linked it to mine. Thanks.
