Cool Beige SW 9086

No matter the size of your gathering, grazing tables are perfect for any occasion: weddings, birthdays, graduations, baby showers, housewarming parties and summer get-togethers. If you're entertaining a smaller crowd, start with a custom wood serving board, like this one from Saratoga Hardwood! On the other hand, if you're entertaining more people, pick up a roll of brown package paper to lay out on your countertop. To help arrange everything in a cohesive fashion, label each area with a sharpie so you can map out where to place the food and your guests will also know exactly what they're about to dive into.

WHITE CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY TART

This is a summertime staple for a good reason! Potatoes and eggs mixed with a creamy, tangy, mayo-based dressing.

STYLING YOUR GRAZING TABLE

No outdoor cookout is complete without a side of baked beans. Cooked low and slow with brown sugar, ketchup and bacon, these beans will be a crowd pleaser!

Window Washing

Contrary to popular belief, it is better to clean your windows at the beginning of summer instead of spring. You might be tempted to clean them once the snow clears, but the May pollen surge will ruin everything. To clean them yourself, combine in a spray bottle: a quart of hot water, a half cup of vinegar, and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Shake it up and spray generously on your windows then wipe dry with a microfiber cloth to prevent streaking. Voila!

#MOVINGWITHROOHAN Meet Valerie!

“Moving as a single mom of 3 boys was a daunting process, but Roohan made every step easier! Brittany Alexander helped find the perfect new place to call home and encouraged me to let Roohan help with the little things, from moving boxes and tape and even booking the complimentary moving truck to make the transition smoother for me. I couldn’t be happier with her and all the help and support she provided during a very stressful time.

Roohan Realty made me feel very comfortable and cared for every step of the way.”
