Bar Cart Days

The Potted Boxwood Bar Cart 5
You could say the time is approaching, or the time is always present, to make your bar cart ready for summer entertaining. Let’s be honest, a bar cart may not be totally necessary if you have ample cabinet space, or an actual bar in your home. However, they give you a “make yourself at home and pour yourself a drink” mentality that more formal bars or casual countertop settings don’t quite capture.

While they are functional in their use, they are also another outlet of design. They are used to enhance the lively ambiance of a space, especially rooms of entertaining. If done right, they can be full of personality. Here are a few of my favorite bar cart tips, tricks, and tools
