Day 24: Bar Carts...for the well styled home!
Day 24 of 365 Days of a Happy Home!
This is a classic addition to any space. A well-stocked bar that rolls with style. What makes the top shelf on your cart?
A well-styled and stocked bar cart is the ultimate host move—and a design detail we love! It brings together form and function: the tools you need to mix a perfect cocktail, and the style that makes your space feel ready to celebrate and full of charm.

✨ The Foundation
– A beautiful cart (we love vintage finds or something with mixed materials—think wood + brass)
– A tray to corral bottles or glassware
– A sculptural ice bucket or decanter
