Day 227 - Making a list and checking it twice...

As mentioned a million times...I am gearing up to host a bridal shower in the beginning of April

When Steve and I got married (over two years ago - crazy) we registered for almost all kitchen items

(It's not very fun registering for linens when you know your acne medicine will only ruin it on the first use)

Anyway...so I know we have all we need to host a party...but with a smaller kitchen

You have to get creative when housing all of your service ware...and we did get creative!

So finding all of my favorite pieces is kind of like a treasure hunt...all around the whole house

First up, the entry...

2-tier appetizer tray as a key and glasses catch all

Next, the living room...

Silver serving tray as a table top...or large coaster

Next, the family room...

3-tier dessert tray as end table decoration

Also in the family room (with the dogs)...

Large silver lacquer tray as a tv/video game control station

Next, the kitchen...

Small cake stand as an "important" mail collection spot

Then we head up stairs to the bathroom...

Collection of 3 small dessert stands as decor

Then the master bed room...

Another 3-tier stand, this time as a jewelry display

And finally, the master bath...

Votive candle holders and pillar candle stand as bathroom storage (Q-tips, cotton balls, and manicure set)

So there it is...everything that should be, could be, in the kitchen that ended up else where

And the truth is, there is so much more of that actually in the kitchen that I might not even need to use

Any of these items...but if I do need them, at least I located them again!
