Lately I've been a little obsessed with cafeteria trays. They are fun, graphic and can be used in a variety of ways. Like the cafeteria tray decor in Lemonade, a hot lunch spot in Beverly Hills, California featured on the green living blog Daily Danny. Besides the colorful tray arrangement, Lemonade also uses Dixie cups as ceiling decoration. Ok, so I know mounted cafeteria trays and Dixie cups may be a little much for the average kitchen, but it's fun to think outside of the box. Repetition of simple designs can make a big statement in your home or business. Don't be afraid to play with materials and allow yourself to have fun. I'm continually reminding myself of this especially when stumped with a design dilemma. Great ideas come from playing and utilizing your childhood imagination!

Love the trays!
What an excellent idea for restaurant decor!
How creative!
That is crafty! I love the mod feel of the trays on the walls. So neat;)
So clever!
I didn't know those cafeteria trays from childhood could look so good!
Love this. Way better than inspirational prints hung on cafeteria walls.
such a fantastic idea. i wonder where i can find a bunch of cafeteria trays.. hmm.
I'm not really digging the trays as much as the dixie cups! Maybe if the trays were in different colors?
Yes!
I love cheap and creative deco!
great post
Im totally inspired right now.
Can't imagine, that trays can be as awesome decor too!
I never been here for quite sometimes. Sorry, but I was a bit down for a couple of months now. Just had my complicated surgery.
Well, been posting though!
Have a wonderful w/end!

I love that look! They remind me of little sound pads in a recording studio :)
Have a great weekend, deary!
:) That's a pretty wall!
*love* this idea! the trick must be to find trays in colors that are cool, instead of a drab, dirty brown. i also like that they left the trays empty, whereas some people might be tempted to get cute and decorate them with food samples or a menu of the day.
So cool!
i have a fixation with cafeteria stuff too!
I would have never ever ever thought of this.
