Sounds oxymoronic, doesn’t it! Unless you consider that all laptops are “vintage” after the first year! Well, I’m actually referring to a truly vintage laptop dining tray. At least I think that’s what this was.
I picked this up for a $1.50 at my favorite local thrift store and turned it into a desktop corral for my office supplies.
The compartments are perfectly sized for various different things that are great to have easy access to. And because I sew and compute at the same desk, it’s easy to just lift this collapsible tray from the desk and set it on the floor while I’m sewing.
I love the challenge of implementing an inexpensive piece of the past into my design, especially when it’s paired with a few modern details and great functionality!

Look how perfectly your ipod fits in there! I’m a tray addict, and this one is particularly adorable — good find!
I know, Kate, can you believe it! I wonder what the slot was originally designed for — dessert, maybe?
LOVE that! How perfect and the color is awesome.
Wow, love this laptop! What a creative way to use it. Now you have me wanting to head out to my local thrift shops and see if I can find one. HA!
