I’ve got a huge crush on bar carts at the moment. When stocked full of colorful spirits, a stylish ice bucket and some gorgeous cocktail glasses, they simply add so much character to a space and a sense of effortless entertaining to a home (something I’ve vowed to get better at in 2012). Additionally, they’re also a tremendous conversation piece: a place to display a set of heirloom glasses, that gifted bottle of Scotch from a special occasion, a jar of olives or bitters from a mom and pop shop during your latest travels, a gorgeous piece of art hanging above… the list goes on. While we opted for more of a substantial wine bar/buffet when we moved into our place and have since run out of space for one of these beauties I’m completely re-inspired to spruce up our “bar tray” this weekend.

I’m obsessed with mirrored trays . . . now I want a bar cart so I can have a place to put my mirrored trays!
These are definitely cool. I think it would be fun to have a black one – my husband would get a kick out of his own Mad Men station 😉
It’s funny because at my DAY JOB :-/ we have a cart that we use for files and htgnis of that sort in the office and it looks exactly like the red one. Just earlier this week I told a coworker how I could spray paint that bad boy and make it into a bar cart.
