Soulful Thoughts of Rachel

My mom has always been known in the family as a great hostess when it comes to parties and family gatherings. Back in our old home, we always had family and friends over during special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, family reunions and simple get-togethers. My mom had special plates, utensils and serving wares for special gatherings and those were stored in a dark wooden sideboard in our dining room. Aside from storage purpose, that sideboard was very useful to us. During parties and gatherings, we often placed the main courses on our dining table and we put the plates, utensils, glasses, napkins on our sideboard. We sometimes placed the dessert and drinks there too.

I think sideboards are not only useful but make lovely accents for the home as well. They can be placed in various areas in the house like the dining room and the living room. My mother-in-law has one of those lovely antique sideboards that I admire in their living room where she displays all her favorite and special photos on top. When there are new guests, they often linger in this area to look at the various photo frames. Inside the sideboard is her favorite collection of angel figurines.

I think that you can never go wrong with furniture that is lovely, functional and of good quality.
