I love hosting causal nights at home for a few friends…. takeout sushi, wine, and some much needed adult time once the kids are tucked away… I actually love these nights as much as I love going out!

When it comes to hosting these nights, I leave the food to takeout but I always have a pretty selection of barware chosen and a small cheese plate with snacks to hold everyone over until the food arrives. Equally as important as the pretty wine glasses, the fresh hydrangea, sleek cheese tray, and fun coasters are the decorative pieces sitting on my coffee table where it is all displayed. As a matter of fact, one of the questions I get most from friends and readers is where I get all my fun trinkets and decor pieces {which continue over to my consoles and book shelves}. So today I wanted to share highlights and favorites from my collection!

Starting with “wine prep” and my glasses… I simply love my Juliska Amalia glasses. I use them from fancy dinner parties to more casual nights like these. With the beautiful detailing, people always comment on them, so worth the investment! Next up is a marble cheese board… a few favorites include one by Michael Aram, one from Williams Sonoma, and this one only $19.99 at Target. Oh and I am in love this matching marble cheese knife set!

Next you need a set of small plates, and I while this blue set by AERIN is one of my favorites, they are sold out, so I recommend these turquoise plates or this set with gold trim by Rosanna. Lastly you need a set of coasters like this sweet paper set from Draper James!

Next is the decor and honestly I thought the best way to share this would be to list them by category, so here they are. A list of what I have or very similar! Happy searching and shopping! Hoping you have a glam evening!
