One Christmas, I bought my husband this serving tray because of two things. One, the pictures on it were from a trip to London we took together a few years ago. Two, I thought it would be great for transporting our tea and snacks from the kitchen to the dining room.

Unfortunately, I bought the small size when I should have bought the larger size. Oops! (Snack time is serious business around here!) It was too small for our needs. Boo!

However, since it was a nice serving tray and had some sentimental value, I was hesitant to get rid of it. So, it sat in our kitchen cabinet for a few months.

One day, I was taking off the coasters and remotes from the living room table while cleaning and thinking about how there had to be a better way to store them. At my house, the coasters end up spread out all over the table and the remotes end up who knows where.  How could I keep everything in a central location and organized while still looking good?

That’s when it hit me! I could use the serving tray and why not? It was nice enough to use for home decor. I decided to try it out. Not only did it work well, it looked great!If you’re looking for even more ways to use a serving tray, you can always google “ways to use serving trays” and get a lot of inspiration!
