I normally don’t blog 5 days a week. I usually take one day off which happens to be Thursdays normally, but this week I just wanted to come on here & chat on my “day off” & share some inspiration. I love blogging so much, I love you guys, & I love talking anything home decor & DIY related so sometimes it’s hard to take a day off from sharing on here. It’s just in me & I have to let it out. I can’t go a day without doing something creative. Today I didn’t do much on the creative side because it was my birthday [check Instagram HERE to see all my birthday updates] Jose took me on a surprise day date with 5 different surprise stops & it was quite heavenly & good to take a ‘me’ day as well. I felt so spoiled to day & very inspired creatively by all of our stops. So since I’m sitting here at midnight winding down from possibly the BEST birthday ever, I decided to write a quick blog post sharing with you a little tray we have in our kitchen. It was a super dreary day here & I took the photos late in the day so the photos aren’t the best, but you know what? This week is all about learning that everything doesn’t have to be perfect & you get the idea. It’s a tray in our kitchen. Get it? haha Here it is as it looked this gloomy afternoon…

Since our kitchen is small, I can’t do a huge tiered tray, well I could, but I’m choosing not to for now. I picked up this tray at Home Goods this past week for a baby shower that I threw for my cousin & decided the tray looked great in our kitchen as well! It’s the perfect little tray for the job. On the tray I have a little moss ball from Hobby lobby, some flowers & vases from world market, a candle from marshalls, an antique door knob, & a plant from Ikea. I think it’s just a happy little tray that is helping bring our kitchen into the spring & summer months.

Our little kitchen is getting super cozy pretty quick. We still have to pick cabinet hardware out, do something with the under cabinets, add some more decor, change some stuff out, & don’t get me started on organizing the two pantries, but this is so fun for me. I am in no rush, & doing little things daily is my motto. What do you think of our little farmhouse kitchen tray? Do you have a tray like this in your kitchen? Let me know in the comments below, find me on Facebook, & chat with me on Instagram.
