I have several trays that might work, so I immediately tried them all. I love the look of the large one above, but my space is quite small. I also really liked the handles on the tray above, but the only one I have with handles that fits this space has feet, so that wasn't working very well. After trying 3 different ones, I think this one is the best.
Kind of fun for a change. Now we'll see how long that stays or if I have to clean it every day. lol
What have you tried different lately and what has inspired you?
Marty, I'm so glad you came by! I'm following you on GFC and Linky...my mother in law LOVES your blog and so I've stopped by many a times, but never hit follow for some reason....glad to be bloggy friends with you! Thanks for your sweet note! When is your bloggy party held each week?!!? Hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day! XO, Aimee
ReplyDeleteOooo Marty, I love using silver like that too! I love the color on your backsplash...and it really sets off the silver. Love the old cans you have on top too!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little tray, where it fits over the stove. I am trying to crochet little easter hats that I will try to sell * smile *.

That looks so cute there. I think it would only need cleaning if you actually cook on your stove. If I put one above my stove it would stay clean forever.
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to get new ideas and inspirations, isn't it? Love the tray over the stove!!
ReplyDeleteWe are ALL copycats, Marty. Love the little tray!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I know what you mean though, nothing stays the same very long here either, lol!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty little tray! You will enjoy having it where you can see it!
ReplyDeleteI love the tray it looks great.
ReplyDeleteI love Jennifer's kitchen makeover, too, Marty! I had also noticed that tray over the stove, but, unfortunately, I have a microwave that is in the way. I like how you got the look with a little smaller tray, but I don't even have that much room!
ReplyDeleteThat looks awesome. You do have the most fabulous silver. Your inspiration is gorgeous as well.
ReplyDeleteHi Marty... elders says to copy something with its root is a great art... we all copy cat different things but I love the creative way of your copying the thing... I really mean it... Silver looks fab I wish if I can see that basket a bot more close... it looks so lovely...
ReplyDeleteHope you will enjoy a visit at

Perfect!! You needed this small copy-cat to make your lovely kitchen just right...for the time being! You sure have the right touch for things like that, Marty.

I'm getting ready to do a whole kitchen makeover! I'm so excited and I'm visiting tons of blogs to get ideas! Unfortunately my stove area doesn't have much room over the stove to do something like this. What I have always wanted is the wrought iron sculpture like Charlie has on the tv show Two and Half Men. We'll see if I can make that happen for me!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had the open top at the kitchen cabinets like you do. I would so fill them up, just as you did. I love that!
I really like it Marty! I may have to be a copy cat too!!
ReplyDeleteLooks great Marty,
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your vignettes. You are very creative.
I have a friend with a narrow space above the stove and she hung silver coasters spaced out in a line side by side by side for an alternative look.

I saw that makeover too and fell in love as well! I like how you honed in on the silver trays on the wall. I myself was drooling over the chandelier, signs above the door and the painted cabinet. Beautiful stuff! I think the tray you chose works wonderfully and will only highlight your other silver pieces even more. Great detail!
ReplyDeleteFabulous idea. Looks perfect there. Curious to see how the "cleaning" will go.
ReplyDeleteLOL That looks great but I have cleaned TOOOOO MUCH silver to ever want to put a tray in that area of the kitchen. I would need to hire someone if I plan to do that. Love the bed room in the previous post. Peace
ReplyDeleteI love Jennifer's kitchen, too,Marty. I like the shine from the silver. I hope you keep it. It will take a while to tarnish, plus, even tarnish is in style. Linda
ReplyDeleteHer kitchen makeover is very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteI love your silver tray over the stove.

I love it! I love Jennifer's kitchen too. I like how you were able to incorporate that silver tray in your decor similar to hers. I would take it off the wall if you're cooking something that splatters though.
ReplyDeleteKitchen bling! I love it! Love your inspiration kitchen, too, especially that weathered green hutch off the to side.
ReplyDeleteI love the silver tray over the stove. I have a microwave above my stove and even my littlest silver tray won't fit.
ReplyDeleteAwesome job Marty! That is what this blogging gig is all about..inspiring and being inspired others. If we didn't get that out of it, what would be our point right? I love that kitchen too!
ReplyDeleteI get so many great ideas from the blogs that I visit! I'm always trying to figure out why something looks so perfect! I love lots of baskets and trays! ♥
ReplyDeletePERFECT Marty!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThe inspiration pics is so pretty I can see why you were inpsired. The silver tray looks fabulous hung above your stove :o)

A big island in the middle of the kitchen looks awesome.

Don't ya just love getting ideas from other bloggers? I also love Pinterest where I get many, many ideas.
ReplyDeleteActually, Marty, you have inspired me! I love your cloche with the rooster on top! It is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteMarty you have such beautiful silver and you display it so very well!!!
ReplyDeleteLooking at other blogs always sparks ideas for me or gives me something I could replicate.
ReplyDeleteThat does look good! I have two trays stacked together on my counter...I love to look at every detail people have and see if there is something that inspires me too! I like the tray you chose!
ReplyDeleteWow! Kitchen, my favorite place in our house, you can always see me in there you can't see me on the other places of the house.
ReplyDeleteI really like the design of this kitchen. :)

I LOVE it! The perfect touch of elegance in the kitchen. I am heading to Jennifer's now to take a closer look at hers. I love your copy cat move. :)

Love it, Marty! You have such beautiful silver!!
ReplyDeleteI just adore Jen's kitchen, and she was the one that inspired my kitchen paint re-do. Always love using silver, your tray looks wonderful, so elegant and classic!
ReplyDeleteI just love when you & other bloggers take inspiration from others and inspire us! Thank you! The tray adds so much to your decor!
ReplyDeleteHugs, GraceinAZ
Love her kitchen. It is fancy-schmancy or anything, and I can't quite put my finger on it - but I love it too. Your little silver tray works great there and I like how it ties in with your conner vignette. Hugs, Barb
ReplyDeleteHi Marty, I love your tray above the range...so pretty!! I also loved seeing your bathroom reveal. It's such fun to visit, isn't it!!
ReplyDeleteMarty,
ReplyDeleteI agree, the silver tray above the stove is stunning! You are so correct...that kitchen is gorgeous!!! Thank you for sharing this lovely post with us!
Fondly,

Hello Marty,
ReplyDeleteI found you quite by accident and am so happy that I did! You have given me so much inspiration. I can't wait to start re-decorating :) ... What a wonderful home you have.
