There are SO many different ways to style a bar cart! As a freelance stylist 9-5, I wanted to do a MILLION different things with this cart, but ultimately I decided on pieces that would compliment the cart as well as our new home (I know I just dropped a bomb there, but more to come on that…), AND bring some fun and personality to it!

~ A piece of art above the cart is a must! There are so many ways to get creative with this, but when I spotted these prints from Hello It’s Hayley on Pinterest one day, I just knew I’d never find anything else more perfect! Each bottle print is unique and colorful! I chose a white frame and white matte so to really make the prints POP.
~ A monogrammed touch HAS to happen somewhere on the cart, of course! If it’s not moving, monogram it?! Belle and Ten just has the cutest monogrammed drinkware and I immediately thought of them when styling my cart. These wine glasses were exactly what I had been hoping for!
~ Drink stirs with some personality DEFINITELY bring the party to any bar cart, and Acrylic sticks has SO MANY fun styles to choose from! How amazing are these bar cart drink stirs?! The blue chinoiserie decorated cart looks SO MUCH like my bamboo cart!
~ A patterned ice bucket is both practical and decorative and is a MUST for any bar cart! Nice Buckets really has a pattern for everyone’s style! The navy and white stripe was perfect for Matt and I (we have decided that when it comes to home décor, we are blue people!). I also really love the gold accents and the ice tongs!
~ Paper Straws, of course! Another practical yet fun item, I feel like they somehow seem to say “I’m ready to entertain,” whenever you see them on a bar cart! Let the parties begin!
~ An eye-catching tray can bring a bit more dimension to the cart, and would you believe I found this amazing tray on Amazon?! It comes in a few great colors, too!
~ FRESH FLOWERS! Flowers are my weakness…I can’t pass them up on a weekly Whole Foods run! They add so much to ANY room and definitely bring this cart to the next level.
~ Lemons and/or limes! I just love how BRIGHT they are, ya know?! Plus, their presence on a bar cart just begs the question, “do you want a cocktail?”
~ Thanks so much for reading along! Home decor is about to be a much bigger part of the blog. I have been FLOORED that during the past few months, home decor content has been far outperforming fashion for me! (OF COURSE the “stay at home” orders had us all in nesting mode!) My #GlitterUpper series has taken on a life of its’ own, and that makes me so happy because I love styling home decor. Let me know what you would like to see more of in the home decor space! This is fun 🙂
Gratefully with love,
