My husband had asked me what I wanted for my birthday, and I said I would like to celebrate with my friends and family. The guest list totaled seventeen which left us wondering how we could accommodate everyone (my birthday is in February no sitting outside).
We eventually figured it out and had an amazing evening of fun, food, friends and family.
Let's see how we did it!
This is our dining room. I love it, but it would not hold seventeen people!
This is our family room. No room here for seventeen people either unless you move all the furniture around in your house.
We moved the family room furniture into the dining room. I have to say I am loving the wall color and chandelier with this furniture!
Then we moved the dining room furniture into the family room. We added another table and chairs, which pays off when you refinish furniture and have seventeen chairs available to use.
The seating was taken care of, leaving the menu which my husband was in charge of. It consisted of lasagna, roast pork tenderloins with cherry sauce, Greek chicken kabobs, maple mashed sweet potatoes, asparagus bundles wrapped in bacon, and tossed salad with homemade honey mustard dressing. He also baked two cakes, one chocolate and one white cake (the white one is my favorite). I know, right!!
It was a perfect birthday celebration surrounded by my family and friends.
The next day we moved everything back, rested and reminisced about the night before.
Not everyone would want to move furniture to accommodate a large crowd, but for us it was the perfect solution.
