To Serve or Not to Serve
How many of you use a buffet or a sideboard? Do you decorate it or use it to hold useful items? Just food for thought today….
If you are unsure of the function for the surface of your buffet, think about using it for useful items and a lovely display! Maybe a few dishes that are often used, drinks set up ready to go, a fruit bowl, or a stack of your favorite recipe books.
If you don’t have a traditional buffet/sideboard, a dresser, bar cart, or even an Ikea Expedit bookcase on its side works.
My Outcome: I dressed up our winter vignette with a tray set up for warm-spiced wine, plum wine, and hazelnut creme almonds. Something to enjoy when friends come over or just with my husband after work. Isn’t that a nice thought for the end of the day?
Come back tomorrow for the last “eating spaces” challenge and then we will finish up our last week.

I love buffet tables! Is that odd? But I can never find ones I like that are big enough, so we have a dresser I prettied up. Love these ideas!
Kathy says
Nichole, I LOVE dressers being used as buffets. I wish I had found one before we bought our buffet. 😉 Thanks for stopping by!
Heather says
Oh my word. Feeling so inspired after seeing all these photos. Can you come decorate my home 😉
Kathy says
Fantastic and yes!

I never really thought about dressing up the buffet, or making it a display space. I am feeling inspired now.
Kathy says
That makes my heart sing!
Dionne Dean says
Every time I come to your blog, I add another item to my Goodwill list! LOL Thanks for the inspiration!
Kathy says
Oops! The more I work on projects, the longer my list becomes to. LOL
