Drinks and Dessert Station - starring my new Keurig 2.0!

Last week, I held a little Birthday gathering for Lisa Robertson.  Most of these folks had never been to my house; so of course I cleaned as if Scarlett was coming for inspection.  {#emotions_dlg.scared}  Next up was transforming my circus of a home into a place for an adult birthday party.  My hope was that I would be able to create a place that everyone would mingle and visit.  I was shooting for a “cozy” ambiance; not formal--- I’m definitely allergic to formal!  


Since it was more of a drop in event that was heavy on the hor'deurves instead of a sit down dinner, I moved my dining room table up against my sliding glass door and turned it into a buffet table of sorts.  I set up all the food there.


Then, I wanted to create a special place for the Cupcakes.  Eva, Lisa’s go-to stylist, had ordered Lisa’s all-time favorite cupcakes from her favorite bakery; so I knew they needed a place of honor.  Ultimately, I opted for a “Drinks and Dessert” station.  (I thought that sounded way more festive than “It’s on the end of the counter.”)



Fortunately, I also had my new Keurig 2.0.  I was able to make a carafe ahead of time for regular coffee and have K-cups on hand for specialty beverages as well as hot and cold tea.  Boy did this free me up to do other things!!!  {#emotions_dlg.thumbup}  Plus I think everyone enjoyed selecting and making their favorite drinks!



 


By the way, when our house is on “high-alert” in the mornings, I am loving the ability to brew a carafe.  That way, me, Nana, and Hubby can enjoy a cup together before we start our day.


And with the amazing Today's Special Value price and all the extras you get, I think it is an amazing deal too!


I think that I will be keeping this new little entertaining edition of the "Drinks and Dessert" station for the rest of the holidays too.  You might even try one yourself!


Best,
