Hand-Painted Trays That Holly Golightly Would Love

As fans of Lonny and Kate Spade, we were already familiar with the work of artist Caitlin McGauley.

As fans of Lonny and Kate Spade, we were already familiar with the work of artist Caitlin McGauley. Her charming watercolor illustrations of girls about town and chic living rooms are practically part of each brand's signature. Her upbeat aesthetic has always held appeal, but since we didn't have room left on our walls, we gave up the idea of owning our own Caitlin McGauley — until now! We were thrilled to discover that her art has made the jump to home decor. Each of the four trays in the line features a different motif and is adorned with 22-carat gold detailing. We love them all equally and bet you will too!
