Info Post
As some of you Facebook buddies know, I have been away on a little family holiday vacation.  So please excuse my lack of fantastic blogging and my insane delays to emails.  I am back now, and have oodles to do to prepare for Christmas around the Jones' casa.  Don't think I have forgotten!!

However, since I was vacationing and I am not prepared for Christmas just yet, I thought I would share one of my most favorite display ideas.  In fact, you may have noticed this theme already.  It stares me smack in the face all over my home, it's a wonder I haven't boasted about this little obsession before.

I have already shared with you my love for white vases.  Because their versatility is beyond endless.  "Hi, my name is Jennifer Jones and I have an addiction to white ceramics."  There, I have come clean.  Because today I am not obsessing over the white vases {maybe just for a second I will}, but I have gone crazy for white trays as well! 

Of course, the concept is simple and the same no matter what color.  I just seem to lean towards white because they are so flexible to be moved to any space in my home.  But that doesn't mean that I won't be hitting up thrift stores for trays in a rainbow of colors, because these things rock with their corralling selves!

That's right.  I said corralling.  Because that's how I use them, to corral like items into a pretty display.

For example, before we had switched out the shelf in our lower level bath, I had been using a white tray to "corral" all of my perfume bottles!


And I have been known to use 'em next to my coffee maker, to "corral" my coffee mugs!



But the fun doesn't stop there!  You may have noticed that I sported a pretty white tray to "corral" my stack of paint swatches on my desk!



I have since moved that tray to my new living room desk... again, which you may have noticed.  I now use it to, you guessed it, "corral" my random office supplies {SD cards, clips, tape, etc...}




And finally, what I was staring at last night when I had this whole White Tray revelation... my once again updated, kitchen sink display.




By "corraling" my dish washing necessities right on the tray next to the sink,  I am able to keep the sink itself, clutter free!  Oh, and notice what my sponges are in, yep, a little white vase... weird.

If you are wondering where I found these glorious white trays, I got 'em at Target... in the kitchen section.  IHeart them!

Any favorite item you use to "corral" things?  Any trends popping up around your home as well?  Who's with me on this tray epidemic?
