Thrift shops are havens for silver-plated trays for super cheap (a few bucks), but the idea of using a tray or platter seems so outdated - like we should be dolling ourselves up and serving martinis to hubby when he comes home from work at 5:30 p.m.!The good news: You can do all sorts of semi-crafty things with them that can work with your life and your aesthetic. Try hanging a bunch on the wall like plates. Or I've seen people glue them to small table bases so that they become glistening table tops.
Since I'm more of an opportunistic decorator than a crafty one, I use these pretty trays for display purposes. I never know how to display my perfumes. They tend to look better contained in one space, so why not serve 'em up on this oval shaped platter?Or how about my collection of pill boxes? Scattered over a table they look just messy. But contained in this pretty tray they look pretty-glam and like a cohesive collection
