I Am Lovin' this Tray from IKEA!

I am in love with this simple, metal tray from IKEA.

It is not new.  

It has been in their regular stock for some time.

However, I find myself reaching 

for another one each time 

I make trip to IKEA.

Which is not that often, 

since a road trip is necessary.

It is called ROMANTISK 

and retails for $10.00

I find them handy in places all over my house.

They are great to corral books and magazines

in the bedroom.

Have a dark bookcase?

They make great backdrops

to lighten up a dark area.

How about in the living room,

atop a stool to give a little extra height  

to an end table?

By the way,

isn't my lamp gorgeous?

It was hand woven by my 

friend Katherine, 

who is an outstanding basket weaver.

This week I found another use for my

favorite tray.

I have wanted a chalkboard in my kitchen

and created the perfect one!

Bet you could find all sorts of handy places for one too!
