At Your Service<\/h2>\n

\"Sea<\/p>\n

We love multitaskers like the Sea Winds Sideboard<\/a><\/span>. Right at home in virtually any room, this hardworking piece
\nof furniture serves multiple functions.<\/p>\n

\nto conceal everything from bar essentials to linens. The center is fitted with wineglass holders completed by eight
\ncubbies to hold your favorite varietals.<\/p>\n

A two-tone color palette in crisp white and driftwood gray, along with louvered paneling along the sides and cabinet
\nfronts, gives it a coastal sensibility.<\/p>\n

Take It To Go<\/h2>\n

\"Capris<\/p>\n

Cleverly designed for sitting and serving, the Capris Cocktail Ottoman<\/a><\/span> makes light work of the task at hand.<\/p>\n

Three handled serving trays nestle neatly in the shelf below and can be used to pass around beverages and finger foods.
\nAfter the party’s over, these indispensable catchalls work wonders at corralling everything from keys to sunglasses to mail.<\/p>\n

The white frame is topped with a plump seat cushion covered in thin blue-and-white stripes for a nod to the nautical.<\/p>\n

Party Central<\/h2>\n

\"Mitchell<\/p>\n

Perfect for parties as well as everyday use, the rustically refined Mitchell Console Table<\/a><\/span> with Stools offers an effortless
\nway to set up a bar or eating station just about anywhere.<\/p>\n

It’s 5 o’clock Somewhere<\/h2>\n

When it comes to entertaining guests, you just can’t beat the functionality and ease of the Libations Locker<\/a><\/span> from
\nUniversal Furniture.<\/p>\n

Served neat, it has a bold, confident design with dual textured tri-fold doors fitted with louvers and metal drawer
\npulls that give it an industrial edge.<\/p>\n

Covered in your choice of performance fabric, the party-proof Bradford Sectional<\/a><\/span> by Rowe is made to be lived in.<\/p>\n

\nof ribs smothered in barbecue sauce or the occasional paw print.<\/p>\n

It has an effortless, transitional style that gets along with modern and traditional interiors alike, with smooth lines
\nand scooped arms.<\/p>\n

Exposed wood legs give it an elevated look, while loose back cushions and decorative throw pillows impart an
\neasy, laid-back feeling.<\/p>\n

The coordinating ottoman<\/a><\/span> is handcrafted with a solid wood frame for long-lasting enjoyment. It’s the perfect piece to
\nprop your feet up or to use as extra seating for impromptu guests.<\/p>\n

Nothing says summer like dining alfresco. And the Essentials For Living Boca Dining Table<\/a><\/span> is sized just right for
\nsmall, intimate gatherings.<\/p>\n

Made of gray teak with a gorgeous patina that just gets better over time, the round silhouette keeps everyone facing
\ninward to help keep the conversation (and wine) flowing.<\/p>\n

\na champagne brunch or a five-course dinner.<\/p>\n
