So, when we started planning some late summer gatherings in the backyard, I knew that having some extra serving trays would make life a lot easier – summer gatherings lend themselves well to a good meat and cheese tray or a pile of s’mores over a big, traditional dinner, so just having an easy way to transport the food outside is really all you need!
And it helps if they’re small or easy to store. So, I’ve learned in the last couple of years that if I want to bring in more pieces for entertaining, they’re going to have to do double-duty and also be able to be on display in the kitchen. One struggle that we’ve run into, however, is that when we moved to this house we had to get rid of a fair amount of serving and entertaining pieces, because we just didn’t have the storage for them in our tiny kitchen.
Now that our backyard is almost complete and we have a whole second dining space for entertaining, Corey and I are feeling a lot more motivated to host friends in our home more often.
