Farmhouse Tiered Tray Decorating

Styling a tiered tray is a fun way to bring some small decor items to life. I love to find different things around the house to scatter on the different levels. Most of the trays I see on Pinterest have a small, medium and large order. Since I did not have this style, I will just have to improvise!
I had a 3 tier dessert tray that I barely used and thought "this could work!" Instead of using dinner plates, I grabbed my 3 glass pie plates. The original tray color was gold, but I thought white would be a better choice. So off to the shed I went. 
So at the moment I have been into country farm decor and all things red. This will be my inspiration. Now let's get ready to decorate.Yippee!
I used red gingham fabric squares to line the 2 pie plates. For the middle I wanted books with my devotionals handy. They happen to be in red and pinks. Now to find some cute decor items to fill in the empty spaces. I always love to add Mason Jars in my decorating and this was a good start. Pink distressed jars with greenery and daisies, and a old Molasses Jar for the top. The bottom tray has a white cow, 2 small mason jars tied with a ribbon, more greenery and daisies.
Now you can use your creativity and style your tiered tray!

Mother’s Day Tiered Tray

A new idea for your tiered tray styling.  For me it takes a lot of work to figure out how to style these trays. I think the best way is to have a theme and then rummage through the house like a maniac! (just kidding) Try finding unique items like this Willow Tree figure. Old vintage tea cups and saucers bring in some pink with the addition of books that happen to say Mom in the title.(thanks Joyce Meyers) Try and use repetition of colors for a more cohesive look. I always add some greenery and flowers too.  Now get going!....

Styling Tiered Trays

    Styling a tiered tray can be a daunting task. How do you even  start? I am going to show you how to make it happen.  First: Theme pick your holiday, season or subject Second: Gather shop your home, go to the Target dollar spot, thrift shops etc. Third: Repetition  I like to buy in three’s and two’s  keeping the same piece on each level brings continuity  Fourth: Scale Larger items at the bottom, smaller at the top This is pleasing to the eyes! Fifth: Be Creative  There are no limits to what you can achieve! Use your imagination and it will naturally flow! I hope this helps you have fun decorating your trays!

Finding Strength In The Darkness

 I found out my youngest son Nick had Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy at age 6. When you hear news like this it is earth shattering! The prognosis is bleak. No cure, wheelchair bound by 12 and life expectancy 21. The disease so far has been a true test to all of us.   Fast forward to present day. Nick is 21. He is in a wheelchair and still no cure. On January 2 of this year 2020, he had elective surgery on his colon. Surgery went well and we went home after a 5 day stay in the hospital. The second day home, Nick was in excruciating pain. We immediately head back to the hospital. Did I mention that it is about a two hour drive!  Arrive at the hospital which consisted of 2 emergency surgeries where we almost lost him. 8 surgeries later and an ilestomy bag that helped save his life.  It was just about 2 months staying in the hospital. We had to leave our 2 adult children without their mom, dad and brother. My husband had to go on a family leave with no pay from his job so we could be with our
