Little things make me happy. Like finding a cute basket tray at Joanne's for 40% off. And then also finding some containers to corral my spoons and utensils for 60% off. I was inspired by a Pottery Barn catalog that sits on my desk at work. The basket is big enough to gather everything together, yet slim enough to not look bulky.
When I saw these white vases in the floral area at Joanne's I grabbed a tall one and a short one. I just knew the tall one would be perfect for the stainless steel utensils and the short one would nicely house the wooden spoons:
And because "one does want a hint of color" (that's a quote from one of my favorite movies: the Birdcage) I pulled out a bud vase and added fresh faux clippings. See what I just did there? I pretended to walk into the back yard to grab clippings when what I really did was buy faux greenery at Hobby Lobby today and clipped up the stems when I got them home. Don't judge me.
And since the tray was big enough, I was able to combine two areas into one. On the other side of the stove I had a small tray that held the oils and salt & pepper shakers. I decided to add them to this tray. And I like it.
So that I would have a smooth surface (and also to protect the basket from oil spills) I bought a picture frame to line the basket. It's an 11x14 frame that fit perfectly into the basket.
