{IF YOU FIND THIS GUIDE HELPFUL, PLEASE CLICK THE YES BUTTON AT THE BOTTOM}

A. Trays can have a plate hanger added to the back for wall hanging. These plate hangers come in all sizes. Some of the rigid metal hangers can hold 2, 3, or 4 trays vertically.

B. The long narrow trays are perfect for over a doorway, on a chair rail, or on a back splash in the kitchen.

C. The small tip trays are a wonderful way to hold a gift card. Wrap them together and the recipient has a keepsake after they have used the gift card. Terrific for the holidays!

D. The smaller tray is a great way to display guest soaps, rolled wash clothes, or paper napkins in the bath. Also, a sweet addition to your work station as business card holders.

E. As a wall display, group your collection in a shape that minics the end tables in your room. Square, round, or hexagonal. It looks fabulous!

F. Try using a beautiful vintage tray as a message board. Use the soft magnets so the tray will not be scratched. A functional and gorgeous display!

G. Find a vintage luggage rack and place a large tray on top. Viola! You will have an end table, coffee table, or a serving station for guests.

F. Use a vintage tray for a backdrop to highlight your favorite collection. A lovely way to call attention to the tray and your collection.

G. As an attractive addition to your fireplace when not in use, display a large tray in front to serve as a fire screen. Also, a large tray over the mantle or a grouping of smaller trays on the mantle.

H. A decorator friend on the West coast suggested placing a tray on a guest bed with a pretty teapot, cup and saucer, and a vintage napkin. It is very inviting!

I. A Quick List of Additional Display Ideas --

1. A vanity catch-all

2. Mail drop for the entryway

3. Beverage or wine tray on the kitchen island

4. A tole tray placed on your ottoman or coffee table

5.Create a synergy of scents by placing a candle collection on a tole tray
