Blame it on the beautiful creations of Roxy Te and her Society Social team, but I am fully obsessed with the idea of the bar cart lately…
[ The Hayworth, Society Social, $515 ]

Do you have a bar area in your home? How do you decorate it?
We actually found a really cool Bar piece at a thrift store. It’s pretty solid and has a ton of storage and is working out great for us- it’s kind of an upgrade to the bar cart we used to have- it’s more substantial and now we don’t need a separate cabinet to store all of our stemware!
I really have no need for a bar cart, but I just want one because I think they look so chic! I love that decanter!
We’re using our former kitchen cart as a bar cart in our new place. It’s from Target, and it’s lasted us a long time. Thinking of painting it a fun color, but for now, just enjoying accessorizing! Love every single one of these picks!
I love anything monogrammed so that tray is calling my name!

Society Social was also the reason for my preoccupation with the barcart (and caftans!!)
We recently got a bar cart but I really need to work on actually stocking ours. Somehow all of our alcohol just keeps disappearing…
Reblogged this on Lane's Lessons and commented:
A little bar cart is a cute and fun way to recycle vintage furniture. In particular for a lady like myself living in a small apartment, it is a multi-functional way to make efficient use of space!
Where and how to use a bar cart in your home:
1. Bathroom: Roll up shower towels and stack them on the bottom rack while toiletries placed in pretty dishes and vases remain on top. Hair dryer, curler, straighter and brushes can be stored on top as well.
2. Kitchen: Silverware organized in mason jars or bottles on the top rack while bowls, plates and cups are on the bottom for easy access.
3. Living Room: A mobile bookshelf! Stack books and magazines together on both the top and bottom selves. Place a pretty vase of flowers on top.
4. Bedroom: Use as a nightstand with a lovely lamp on the top shelf, alarm clock and dish for jewelry to be put in before bedtime. Have a coaster for your morning coffee or nighttime tea ready! Place make up wipes, lotions and contact solution in a hat box on the bottom shelf.
5. Dining Room: For it’s conventional use, a bar cart can be stocked with glasses and alcohol for before/after dinner /anytime drinks. Also, it can be filled with tea cups, mugs and tea fixings for a lovely afternoon tea!
I’ve been seeing this a lot, and I’ve been wanting to purchase one as well! I love the look, and as a decoration piece it would look incredible. Not to mention it’s also convenient for when guests come over!

Wow. I love the style of the bar cart. I was just telling my husband how bad I wanted one.
