Welcome to the Interior Design Today radio show with Mary Knackstedt.
In our 19th episode, Mary talks about tabletops. Are you using a tabletop specialist? It was very interesting, but last week, I had a gathering in my apartment in New York. Fortunately, I had a specialist helping me. It was really exciting to see the way I did things and the little touches that Jay could add. He knew how to put some magic into that table. It was really fun to see some of the pieces that I had used in so many different ways being presented with just a touch of artistry which was something that I hadn't thought of. Fortunately, we had some nice pieces to work with, but he also added a few that enhanced the overall presentation.
As I think about entertaining today, we all have many things that we can use. We don't want to use them in a boring style, we want something that's just a bit exciting and different. Especially if we are entertaining, often the same people, you feel like you don't want to put out the same food in the same way. Yet, you know that there are certain things that are healthy or well liked, and you obviously want to present them in an attractive way so that they just look a bit special.
As you look around your space, whether it is your office where you are working with a few clients, or whether it's your residence or a picnic you're doing, you really want to make it a bit special. After all, you want your friends to feel that they are special and that you've put a bit of effort into it. With my lifestyle, unfortunately I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to these things. I need shortcuts. Fortunately, I've found ways of being able to put together a dinner or small affair within a matter of a half an hour in many cases. Yet, it is appealing. I admit I am not the most creative chef in the community, but I do have a way of finding and preparing a certain amount myself. I try to make sure it is presented in an attractive way. I find that even the simplest food is most appealing and exciting if it is presented properly.
Look in your closets. See what you have. How can it be used in a different way? How can you, perhaps, add a piece or two that really makes a difference? The old China that you received as a wedding gift, it can still be presented in a different way. Make it up to date and make sure it's exciting. We aren't eating the types of food that we did so many years ago. So often, we need to change and adjust. Check out your tabletops, make sure they're beautiful. Whether it is for a buffet or a sit-down dinner or even a simple breakfast, design is part of our lifestyle. Use it to its advantage.
