Beverage dispenser

I love the beautiful beverage dispensers I’ve seen in catalogs like Pottery Barn and Williams-Sonoma. They’re always pictured with some luscious looking drink, ready to fill your glass and assuage your thirst. Only problem is that they’re usually accompanied with a hefty price tag. So I was very happy to find this one at Target: And the price? Regular retail $19.99; currently on sale for 20% off. Not bad! But beverage dispensers present a problem: either they have to sit on the edge of a counter or table, or else they need to be elevated, so that a glass can fit under the spout. This $16 dispenser is lovely, but it doesn’t come with a stand. So I thought and I thought, and then I remembered an old DIY project. Last year Alison at House of Hepworths inspired a lot of us to find a cheese dome at Goodwill, remove the feet from the cheese board, and glue the board to a chunky candlestick. I followed her instructions and painted mine Heirloom White. As I was searching for something on which to elevate my new beverage dispenser, I caught sight of cheese-board-turned-pedestal, and I put the two together: Voila! An elevated beverage dispenser! There’s plenty of room for even a footed glass to fit beneath the spigot now. I love the way it looks all together. Perfect for a party tabletop!
