Welcome to Dear Alice, a lifestyle approach to interior design.

Hello everyone and welcome to Dear Alice. Today's going to be a fun one we are talking about the party pantry.

Do I need one of those? Do I have one? How do I get one? And what is it? Can you define it for me?

So we are going to get into that. But first a quick word from Outer. They are our sponsor and Outer has amazing outdoor products.

They have thought of everything they are better in every way because they spent years perfecting their outdoor products.

I love my Outer fire table because Sunsetting is my jam. I don't have time to do it any other time but I go out at night, I watch the sun go down, I light up my fire table and we all just gather around it and we talk.

And we stay out there way too late and we eat some more and we just stay warm and we love it and it's our time to connect.

And I love checking out Outer's virtual showroom. You guys, this is genius. They have over 1,000 neighborhood showrooms across the country to see the outer difference in person.

So that means you are just going to look it up and you can see if you go to liveouter.com slash Alice, you can see for yourself, you can find a showroom near you and then you can go try out the products.

Genius, isn't it? So if you guys want to see the difference at liveouter.com slash Alice plus for a limited time, you can give you $300 off and free shipping.

Hey guys, party pantry time. Okay, so the party pantry I didn't feel like it had a name but I felt like we were doing it even before.

So we first saw it on gosh, it was like one of gosh, was it veranda?

It was veranda. I actually just pulled it up and if you like just Google like veranda party pantry, it'll actually pull up.

There's referring to also the party closet. It says the captions say hello to the party closet, the most indispensable room you've never heard of.

I love it. I think Michelle Nosbomer, she's an interior designer at a Dallas. She was the one that originated the name.

And her party pantry, I felt like was in the same issue of ours when we got Kitchen of the Year from House Beautiful.

And it was brilliant. She had so much shelving. The shelving was going all of these beautiful, different, arcuated lines and she fit teacups in and all sorts of things.

So the party pantry is gosh, in a word, it's a place where you're going to store all of your things to party.

Yeah, your cake plates, your tea, your PC pots, your vases to put flowers in your napkin rings, your linen napkins that are monogrammed, that you're actually excited to store in like a display.

Birthday candles, your tablecloths, just all of the things you need a room for this in your house. Nobody thinks about it.
