Look at my boot tray! My house doesn't have an entry-way, but instead opens straight into the family room. Therefore, I wanted to have a boot tray for ... um... boots. And shoes. You should see the amount of dirt the tray collects! Actually, you shouldn't. Too dirty. Anyways, I saw this idea on a blog & ran with it. Got cheap bags of decorative stone from Ikea to fill the tray- really helps it blend into the room instead of standing out like a sore thumb AND adds a nice natural element. I'm planning on looking into painting the tray, itself, as black doesn't really fit in.....

that's awesome!! are the stones loose or glued (or something) in?
ReplyDeleteLoose- that way I can clean the tray & all the dirt that collects. Also, that way Cooper can randomly splatter stones all over the entry way.
ReplyDelete...I think I will add another bag, as I do prefer a thick layering of river rock, don't you?
