Styling a Coffee Table Tray

Tray | Hourglass Decor | Appetizer Plates | Glass Pineapple Jar | Pitcher Vase

I have finally gotten around to decorating my apartment - only took 4 months! 

When I moved in my kitchen and bedroom were all set however my living room needed all the help. All I had was a wicker chair from pier 1 for the longest time - it was sad! In my brain I had a vision and I wasn't going to settle until I found what I wanted and was within my budget. 

The first item I purchased was my couch followed by the coffee table. Today I'm sharing how I styled my coffee table tray!

I searched pretty much everywhere for a square white tray - Home Goods, West Elm, Joss & Main - you name it I searched it. I finally found this beautiful Zuma tray at Crate & Barrel. My coffee table is a two part table - I will post all about it soon - therefore the tray fits perfectly on the second half of the mini table. 

Now for decoration - I wanted to the tray to be decorates tastefully and not super crowded with random stuff. I wanted a few key items; vase for flowers, appetizer plates, dish for matches, candy jar, and decorative items. I'm obsessed with the gold pineapple jar! I keep my favorite Trader Joe gummies in there - which need to be refilled basically every other day! My sister gave me the turquoise pomegranate which pairs perfectly with my fruit theme and color scheme! I always have appetizer plates out on my coffee table - I can't stand crumbs - and since I'm always eating on the couch it's a good idea to have a few plates nearby.
