gray wicker is so in-the-moment right now with home interior decorating and it's not surprising to see the trend extending to home accessories and not only limited to furniture. these are actually piled willow chargers in gray wash finish. i found these at ballard designs

here's another brilliant idea of bringing the outside indoors by using this wooden tiered tray to house potted plants and herbs in your kitchen counter or island. no need to have a party for this one! i love it!

this last photo is another version of the wooden tiered tray but this time in pentagon outline shape. with it's height and dramatic shape, it's beautiful as a centerpiece filled with flowers, fruits, vegetables and vintage aqua jars for a french country look!
