Tray Chic

IMG_1801Recently, I was approached by One Kings Lane, the online home-décor retailer to participate in their “Tray Chic” campaign by sharing an idea on how I celebrate my personal style using this accessory within the home.

Over the years I have collected many trays for various aesthetic reasons and have placed them strategically throughout house, based on an artistic quality or a need for order. While each has a myriad of uses, such as expressing my desire for organization; a love of home cooking or being able to select a fragrant perfume at the start of the day.

What my “Tray Chic” moment says about me is that I am a hard worker, and when it’s time to relax I relish doing so in style using my elegant tray-tables. They are three lightweight gilt trays that sit by my bedside, instead of a traditional nightstand. Each fit within the other to make one large table and was a gift from my mother many years ago.

My evening ritual is the same every night, starting with a luscious bath and then unwinding in bed using the trays that hold writing utensils, notebooks, an iPad that is my alarm and music, along with a bottle of San Pellegrino. And, when lounging on Sunday mornings the trays are perfect for holding croissants, a pot of coffee, while reading the paper or an assortment of fashion magazines.  

Stay stylish,

Summer Storms

Summer storms have been blowing through most of the country with flooding as an unfortunate aspect of these deluges. But every now and then you see atmospheric phenomenon such as lightening and rainbows that takes your breath away, just from the sheer beauty of nature.

C’est magnifique!
