What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system for mounting a tray to a wall, the system comprising:
 a wall mount adaptor configured to be secured to a wall, the adaptor including a top recessed portion disposed proximate the wall and a plurality of slots disposed on a side of the adaptor opposite the wall;   a back splash having a tray opening and configured to be secured to the wall mount adaptor;   a tray configured to connect to the tray opening of the back splash; and   a mating adaptor including:
 a protrusion that extends along a wall facing side of the mating adaptor, the protrusion being configured to engage or connect with the wall mount adaptor; and 
 a plurality of connectors or pins extending from the wall facing side of the mating adaptor, each of the plurality of connectors or pins being configured to engage or connect with a respective one of the plurality of slots of the wall mount adaptor. 
   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the mating adaptor is part of the back splash. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the tray includes a receptacle opening 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the receptacle opening includes at least one of a round shape and a polygonal shape. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the tray includes first and second receptacle openings of different sizes, shapes, or sizes and shapes. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a receptacle having a tapered wall. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a unitary receptacle configured to be received in a single receptacle opening of the tray. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of receptacles. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the tray includes a lip. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the lip upwardly extends from the tray and is configured to engage a receptacle. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 9 , further comprising a receptacle with a formation configured to engage the lip of the tray. 
     
     
         12 . A system comprising:
 a wall mount adaptor having a wall facing side with a recess and configured to engage a wall;   a tray with a stop and at least one receptacle opening, the tray being configured to be positioned substantially horizontal relative to the wall; and   a back splash having a tray opening configured to receive at least a portion of the tray and to engage the stop, the back splash having a protrusion configured to engage the recess of the wall mount adaptor.   
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12 , further comprising a mating adaptor as part of the back splash. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the tray includes the at least one receptacle opening 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the receptacle opening includes at least one of a round shape and a polygonal shape. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the tray includes first and second receptacle openings of different sizes, shapes, or sizes and shapes. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 12 , further comprising a receptacle having a tapered wall. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 12 , further comprising a unitary receptacle configured to be received in a single receptacle opening of the tray. 
     
     
         19 . A method comprising:
 providing a wall mount adaptor with a recess, a tray with a stop and at least one receptacle opening, and a back splash with a tray opening and a protrusion;   mounting the wall mount adaptor to a wall;   engaging the tray with the back splash though the tray opening of the back splash; and   engaging a protrusion of the backsplash with the recess of the wall mount adaptor.   
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein at least one of the engaging the tray and the engaging the protrusion is performed without separate tools.
