I accepted the challenge and styled a galvanized tray.

Styling Trays & A Giveaway / Beautiful vignette - So Much Better With Age

Today I’m teaming up with my friend Rachel from Maison de Pax for a friendly ‘competition’.

I mean, not really.

But when Decor Steals sends you and your blogger friend the same item and tells you to style it any way you want, that kinda sounds like a competition to me.

The winner? You guys!

There’s a chance to win your own galvanized tray set (2 trays) at the end of the post.

Okay, let the competition of styling trays begin!

Styling Trays & A Giveaway / styled tray on ottoman - So Much Better With Age

I love trays and this set is perfect. This long one covers almost the entire length of my tufted ottoman.

I styled it with some fresh peonies, a beautiful hand carved candle, old tattered books and some linen coasters.

Rachel and I noticed right away that we both used old books. We just laughed.

Of course we did, our style is so similar.

I used the smaller tray for a tea party.

It’s actually a great serving tray. I’m going to be using it all the time.

Actually, I guess we both won.

Hmmm…

    Love the galvanized trays and can think of numerous uses in my home, but I must confess my heart sang once again when the picture of your dining table with the subway tile in the background came into view. Oh, how I need some of that in my kitchen! Thanks for the creative post and for reminding me how much I love subway tile…..

    Jamie! This is so pretty! Do you ever have those moments when you want to steal entire rooms out of someone’s home and run off with them in the night? That is me…. pretty much every time I look at your home! Any room really. I love the way you styled this gorgeous tray! I love the shape of it! So fun.

    Jamie –

    You both did an amazing job styling these trays! They are both beautiful! It makes me realize my trays are missing a little spunk around here. I have recently started a new link up party with Refresh Living and Vintage Refined and we would love to have you stop by and link with us. The party goes live every Tuesday at 7pm CST.

    I hope to see you there!

Do you know what all these beautiful rooms have in Do you know what all these beautiful rooms have in common! They are all painted in the same paint color - White Dove OC-17 by @benjaminmoore. 💚 White is one of the hardest colors to pick for your home. It can pick up different surrounding colors which is why you can’t just Google a paint color and paint it on your walls. 💚 For my home, Simply White has worked the best. And White Dove is very similar. Swipe to see  some of these gorgeous rooms. 💚➡️ Check my blog post for tips on the best way to pick any paint colors for your home.

Our basement is the perfect place to store seasona Our basement is the perfect place to store seasonal / holiday / decor items. I’ve had plenty of it over the years (too much!) as I’ve been blogging for 10 years! I went through all my Christmas decor this year before I packed it all away and got rid of so much! It felt so good. 💚 Next, I’ll do the same for the other holidays coming up (like Easter, I have 2 bins just for Easter!). Decluttering is easier when it’s done in stages. I’m also really into minimal seasonal decor lately so I think it will be much easier to say goodbye to the extra ‘stuff’. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you have lots of seasonal / holiday / decor items in your home? ➡️ Check out my blog posts on how to organize these items in IG stories. .

Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms o Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms of square footage not how the builder or the previous owner used it. My dining room was once a family room but with our small main floor already having a living room and a very small dining room, we thought this room would be better suited for a bigger dining room (swipe to see the before with the cabinet, the before before when we first bought it and the reno) 💚 It pays to look at your home differently especially during this pandemic. I think we’re all going to look at how we use our homes differently going forward. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you use a room for a different purpose than what it was intended for? .

I’m a sentimental purger! 😂 I feel most happy when everything has its place and I’ve kept a few meaningful things, but not too many. Just the right amount. It’s a very fine balance, isn’t it?
