Here is a handy piece of furniture for all of you host and hostess type people out there. If you love to entertain at home, which I do, put a rolling serving cart on your “must have” list. These small servers roll, making them easy to maneuver about from guest to guest or room to room and usually have some sort of storage built into them for extra dishes, silverware, napkins or even wine bottles. They are great as a desert cart after dinner, or to use as a mini wine serving bar.
A rolling food drink serving carts on wheels can be found in any decorating style. I lean to be a somewhat more on the traditional contemporary (is there such a thing?) taste so mine has a very clean, sleek design but if you prefer a bit more formal or ornate, there are those also. They can be found even in old world European and fancy Italian or French designs, of carts made especially for outdoor use. I do like the wrought iron and scroll work for some settings such as a deck or patio, particularly pool side. They carry that bistro cafe feel to them which I just adore!
Rolling carts also are terrific in a kitchen. I don’t care how big your kitchen is, there never seems to be enough counter space or the counter space is in a place that is inconvenient to reach. No matter how much counter space I have I just seem to cook bigger and take it all up. A rolling entertainment cart can pull right up next to where ever you are cooking or working and give you a little more room, and you can push it out of your way if needed. I seem to be big on pushing things out of my way for some reason. In a kitchen they also add extra storage. Kitchen style serving carts are great for casual luncheons to serve buffet style, say if you are serving make them yourself sandwiches.
No matter what your needs or personal decorating style, once you own an entertainment cart on wheels you’ll wonder how you ever got along without it.
