Buffet or Family Style?
Comments (14)Buffet here. When we do Thanksgiving and any other get togethers its really the only option. We generally have 26 - 32 family members and unless I had a designated "hall" there's no other option for us. The kitchen is a large "U" shape so I set everything out on the counters and everyone gets in line. I really wish we could do family style but there's generally 4-5 tables and not enough room for all the dishes/platters....See MoreHelp me style this buffet table.
Comments (8)Olychick I have a blue bowl. I'll try and post a picture later to see how it looks. Leele I like the idea of the buffet lamps. I would love to have an art light hardwired, but that's not possible at the moment....See MoreBig dinners: family style or buffet line?
Comments (131)For many years I did a lot of entertaining: large business parties for my husbands colleagues (up to 80), our California family (15 t0 30), traditional family parties (15 - 18) and many weekend dinners for our friends of my sons friends. The large parties were served buffet style with seats indoors and out. Family traditional parties were part served and part buffet. Two weddings (200 and 100 each) were catered by my sister and her dear friends. Both are gourmet cooks and members of an international group and the dinners were a smash. They brought a 60 lb. fresh frozen king salmon and barbecued it right on the patio. Salad and sides were beautiful as well as delicious. The fish took up the entire grill! Our family and traditional meals were a group effort. The menu was - and still is - selected by the hostess and assignments are given depending on the skills of the contributing cooks. This gives the vegetarians and fussy eaters the opportunity to prepare and bring what suits their diets and others can try their selections as well. Some times we would have place markers for each guest and other times it would be much more casual. When the kids were small, we would decorate fall leaves and then write a name of one guest and place on the salad plate. We did these meals buffet style and of course helped anyone who could not navigate with a plate in hand. Adults migrated to one table, the teens at theirs and the kids would have a kids table to everyone had a great time. Everyone felt at home and helped serve, clean up, do dishes and put the tables away at the end of the evening. It was always a treat to have a family dinner and wake up in the morning to a tidy house!...See MoreStyling an accent wall with buffet
Comments (2)Looks like it's sort of a transition space between your living and dining rooms. I would paint it the same color as the living room, if it's not already. Then, as dee suggests, hang a large piece of art above the buffet -- make sure it's something that personally speaks to you and that you'll love looking at every day. The buffet is nice, but I wouldn't try to make it a stand-out piece. Let your artwork take center stage....See MoreRelated Professionals
