When you think of buffet tables, your mind will often wander to food and the wonderful, wonderful gluttony associated with it. However, buffet tables are perhaps more of a misnomer now that they become a more encompassing term to refer to all kinds of tables . They can be placed in the hallway or the living room. For me, I prefer my buffet table to sit in the living room. Here’s why:

• It can act as a partition between rooms. For example, if you place it directly behind a couch, you can separate the living room from the kitchen or the dining room. This is important in creating distinct areas for your home.
• If you are lacking in shelf space, you can use your buffet table as an extended location for storing items in.
• Some of the lower-level buffet tables can act as television stands. Just be careful about scratching it and take great care when maintaining it’s sheen.
• If you have a wine rack, you can put it on a lower shelf and some individual bottles on the counter of the buffet table and have the table act as a wine display.
• Place it below an artpiece in the room and naturally frame the work. Immediately, all attention will naturally rise towards your art.

I hope this offers some creative ideas for you to change up your own living room buffet furniture and make it even more useful in your home.

While assessing my design aspirations for my new home, I decided that I wanted to go with an Art-Deco circa 1930s theme. Oftentimes, this kind of furniture is harder to find outside of a vintage store or web site. I would gladly patronize these places were it not for my limited budget. Unfortunately, to purchase a real authentic 1930s buffet cabinet I would have to shell out alot more than I am willing to. This is why I was shocked but extremely elated to find that eBuffet.com carries exactly what I want. I found a 60-inch buffet cabinet made of a beautiful antique black and brick-colored rich mahogany. It is a superb example of modernist craftsmanship set to furniture. With four doors and three drawers, it can hold a wide variety of belongings. The two main doors open to two wide shelves while the side two doors are perfect for smaller items.

Ultimately, this Art Deco inspired piece is the perfect addition to any room and brings that extra touch of class. The best part about it is that I don’t have to pay an arm and a leg to have exactly what I want. At $1,092.99, it is nearly 400 dollars off of the retail price. A buffet sideboard with the tenderness of a vintage piece and the advanced quality of a contemporary cabinet is something that cannot be turned down.

Recently, I was reminded of my childhood when I was shopping on eBuffet.com’s online store. When I was a young girl, my father had built me a custom Victorian-era dollhouse that had all the trappings of any normal home–sans the plumbing and intrafamily drama. It was literally the dollhouse of my dreams and my dreams are always handcrafted out of solid wood, of course. This dollhouse had five rooms: the kitchen, the dining room, the living room, one bedroom and one bathroom. Inside the rooms were tiny little pieces of seating and buffet furniture that my dolls fit in perfectly. My favorite dollhouse room was the kitchen because it had the most furniture in it.

Anyway, while looking for furniture to spruce up my dining room set, I found almost an exact replica of the tiny 2-inch kitchen hutch I had in my dollhouse kitchen on eBuffet’s site. As I remembered it, the mini version was charming with crown-molding and all. I discovered that the real-life, adult-sized version is equally as charming. It’s called the "Country French Hutch" and at a huge 76-inches high, it can probably serve as better storage holder. However, the hardwood material and open shelves proved to bear an uncanny resemblance to the original thumb-sized forebear. Even the intricate detailings on the crown molding matched my childhood kitchen hutch exactly. I knew as I made these connections that I had to purchase this particular kitchen hutch. I simply could not pass the opportunity to play house one more time.

If your living room or dining room needs a little something to make it pop, perhaps it’s time for a wood buffet table, cabinet, or hutch. You would be amazed at how much a well designed piece of wood buffet furniture can upgrade your home furnishings. It will give your room that extra "va va voom" you’ve been looking for, because it will give your home that finished, polished look we all hope to achieve with our interior design. Which piece you choose will depend on your storage needs and what will fit with your current motif.

If you’d like a hutch, these tend to work best in the dining room or kitchen. They are the largest wood buffet furniture you can get, but they are timeless and provide a display for your fine China and a great deal of storage in the cabinets. If you’d rather get a smaller wood buffet, you can go with a buffet cabinet, which will give you great storage, but it doesn’t have the display rack on the top. The smallest wood buffet you can get is a table, which gives you the most floor and wall space, however provides virtually no hidden storage. You may get a couple drawers on your table, which is great if all you want to put in there is extra silverware or napkin rings. Whichever wood buffet you decide to go with, you can be certain it will improve your interior design and you will love the look of it.

I was getting ready for our annual Christmas party as usual, and found that I had a serious problem! Food? Check. Adult and kiddie beverages? Check. Holiday decorations and turning the Christmas lights on? Check. Enough counter and table space for all the treats I had prepared? NO. What could I do? Guests were up and dinner wasn’t ready! Well not literally, but you know what I mean. I didn’t have any time to go get extra buffet tables or anything, because my guests would be there in a matter of minutes and I had a casserole, potatoes and desserts with no where to go!

That’s when I saw the solution, sitting there in the dining room looking coy…the buffet cabinet! Usually I had some decorations and what not on top of it, but I thought I could take the decorations off of it and there is my extra tabletop! So quick like a rabbit I made over the buffet cabinet top, and placed my goodies there for my party. It worked beautifully, because the dining room table was piled high, so everything fit perfectly in the dining room. My buffet cabinet saved the day, and now I know it’s always there for me if I need it to be a buffet server.

So I was thinking the other day while doing some Christmas shopping, wondering what it is that I really want this Christmas. I have everything I need, and pretty much everything I want, so when my wife asked me what I wanted the other day, I couldn’t really think of anything. Like most guys, I like the usual suspects: new tools, new toys…and I really like to fix up things around the house. Then it came to me! What I really wanted was some new dining room furniture, because we had been handed down a god awful table and sideboard set from my in-laws years ago. It served its purpose, but I really hated it.

So I told my wife the next day, and surprisingly she said, "I hate it too!" We had just had it for so many years and it wasn’t broken, so we didn’t really think about replacing it. Well this year was the year! I told my wife that I really wanted a new dining room table and chairs, so that we could all really start enjoying the dining room again. We didn’t want to hurt my wife’s parents’ feelings, so we told them that the old set had given way, and since it was a bad break, we decided to replace it altogether. Problem solved! Now I have what I really want for Christmas, and it’s a gift the whole household can enjoy.

I love the warm and cozy look of country furnishings, and even though I had a lot of great furniture in my house, I felt like something was missing. I looked in the living room, and couldn’t think of anything that needed to be added there, and the bedrooms and bathrooms also seemed equally complete. The room that seemed to be missing something was the kitchen, even though I have a beautiful oak table and chairs and a butcher block. And then it came to me: a kitchen hutch is what I need in here!

So I went out to face the shopping crowds on the weekend after Thanksgiving to see if I could find the perfect hutch to complement my existing kitchen furniture, but I didn’t have much luck. I found some buffets and china cabinets, but they just weren’t the "one" I really wanted. Then my friend suggested that I look online, because many exclusive online retailers were having great sales, and that’s when I found eBuffet. They had the perfect sage green country kitchen hutch, and it was just the right size. I got a discount price on my new hutch, and free shipping. I couldn’t be happier with my new hutch, and my friend was so glad she could help out.

I love throwing parties, and this is definitely one of my favorite times of the year. It’s party time! I have a holiday party for friends and family in the beginning of December, a Christmas Day party for the whole extended family, and a big New Year’s Eve party for everyone and their pet goat! What I do need however, is some extra furniture for all my guests, because it seems there are never enough tabletops for food, decorations, and people to set down their drinks, nor is there enough seating. So I decided I need to get some living room tables and a few barstools to solve this very problem!

Of course, come this time of year I don’t have a ton of money for furniture when I have so many other things to buy. I wanted to find quality tables and bar stools that would look nice in my home but not break the bank. That’s when eBuffet.com came to the rescue! They have so many quality sideboards and living room tables at discount pricing, and I even got FREE shipping for my spiffy new tables. After I had the tables, the barstools were also easy to find online and my house is now ready for the holiday celebrations. Thanks eBuffet!

I have to admit that I love shopping for dining room buffet cabinets. This passion may sound a little strange because people do not usually admit that furniture shopping is the reason they wake up every morning, but that is the case for me! I know all the furniture retail store owners and clerks by name and they even call me up when they receive any new inventory. Because I am such a great buffet connoisseur, they often ask me to tell them whether it is a good piece or not. Some of them even base their prices on my suggestions! Who knew that a simple buffet table enthusiastic could have so much power?

The best part of being called in first, however, is that I have the first opportunity to check out the newest cabinets and hutches. My friends have received quite a few dining room buffet cabinets from me over the years! However, I have to admit, I save the very best ones for myself. As you can imagine, this habit is rather an expensive one even with the discounts I receive. This reason is why I decided to check out the selection on the internet. What an awesome idea! I love the site I discovered: ebuffet.com. Great discounts, friendly customer service, and FREE shipping. This website is the best!
