With holiday and party season on the horizon, it is high time I get my act together and set up a bar area in our apartment. If we had the space, I'd love a whole bar cart, but with our small space abode, I'm limited to a bar tray. To set up your bar space, start with the foundation... cart, tray, or both. Add some basic building blocks: glass decanters, funky old-fashioned or high ball glasses, and of course shot glasses. Make sure you know what you are doing {The American Bar by Charles Schumann} and you have the tools to do it {muddler, stirrer, strainer, etc...}. Add a few brightly colored accents in the form of napkins and coasters. Finally, DON'T forget the booze! Read Martha's article {#12} for great tips on stocking a bar. Below is my first step to building my bar tray...

This is the start of my DIY bar tray beautification process. More to come later this week.
Do you have a bar in your home? Tray or cart? Any tricks you use when stocking it? One trick I do plan on using for parties is to copy what Victoria did
here. Amazing, right?
Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!
Cheers,
Julie

ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your bar tray!! I could definitely use some DIY inspiration. We keep our bar stuff in our cabinet, so it's hidden away. Once we have a house though...a bar cart will definitely be ordered. xo
