i don't know about you, but i love the look of a well-styled bar cart. they're all over pinterest and my favorite blogs, and i was inspired to create my own version of it using some things that i already had. it fits perfectly in the corner of my dining room and makes me feel like throwing a dinner party just about every night...which pretty much never happens.
oh well. gaze away.
tray / chalkboard jar: Target
straws: le goods on Etsy
cardboard coasters: TJ Maxx
bottles: Hobby Lobby
bottle opener: Pottery Barn
origami: World Market
candle: Marshall's (?)
Simply love how you styled this! Really fantastic details!

In love! I'm transforming my dining room into an 'office room'... But now I'm totally thinking it needs the addition of a bar cart! Great job with yours! Love all of the accessories.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Cupcake wine! My favorite is the Mosacto D'Asti! So tasty! Which ones do you have in the picture? Very cute bar area, too!
ReplyDeletethats such a pretty DIY bar -- and actually I think I have the same bookshelf so I could totally do this! xo

Oh I love it! Please please when I buy my first house will you come style it?! =)
ReplyDeleteLove this! I've always wanted to do it...but I'm not sure I could keep wine lasting long enough in one to always look chic :)

This cracks me up, I was thinking the same thing. Like "Is it classy to have a mostly empty bottle sitting out? Well, maybe if I keep the already opened bottle on the kitchen counter, then it looks like I'm using it as cooking wine." ;)
DeleteI have a bar that hold 10 bottles and it can never stay filled enough to be cute!! Good thing the bar itself it cute!!
Deleteaww this looks adorable! love the straws and the chalkboard jug thingy... very whimsical and colorful :) i love how this set up has easy access to glasses, entertaining/party-hosting made easy.

Is that "red velvet" cupcake? Love that wine! I have some in my wine rack. My need to open it this weekend! :-)
ReplyDeleteI have a corner of our apartment that I have been wanting to do something with. This would be perfect! I have that bottle opener habging in my wall right now. Thank you for sharing it's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi Lauren!
ReplyDeleteI like this idea a lot ... if I had a large enough dining room. Ha! :) Question for you: did you hang a shower curtain (or just a regular one) in the corner to give the look of a pattern? Or am I seeing things? Either way, I really like the look. :)

This is so perfect! My hubby and I live in an apartment, so we don't have a lot of room for something like this. I've always wanted a bar cart. Maybe someday! You've styled yours so well :)
