Bar Updates

The bar is one place in my home that will constantly be updated, not only because of the constant rotation of beverages, but also because I'm a sucker for beautiful bar ware.

Once again, when I was at Target I came across the most beautiful glasses and shaker that I've seen in a long time.  They were a part of the Neiman Marcus for Target collection and yes they were on clearance!  I also came across a large tray at Lowe's last weekend which prompted me to change up the bar area.

Here we are before-

And after-

 

 Enjoy your weekend!

Updates to the Adult Beverage Bar

Hey guys!  How was your weekend?  Great I hope.

According to my Spring Forward Project List, I was supposed to be re-styling our bar area.  Once I painted the dining room I was set on making a few changes to this area.

As a refresher, this is how the bar area looked shortly after moving in...

...then we did an upgrade...

 
...and now...

I only made a couple of changes.  I removed a lot of the glasses that weren't being used, added blue and green straws to a champagne glass, cleared a lot of the clutter, and added my wedding bouquet.  I like this layout much more because it's not as cluttered.  I have plans to switch the lamp out for two others that I got while thrifting a couple of years ago, I just have to find shades for them before I do that.  I also plan on moving the painting to a different location and replacing it with four huge prints.  Once these updates are complete, you will be the first to know!

Liquors and Tables and Bars...oh my!

Let's talk spirits...and not the ones that go bump in the night.   I have dreams of a well stocked, well styled bar in my dining room.  Currently we have a bookcase that was purchased from Ikea.  We added legs to it to turn it into a buffet.  This idea came from Alaina at Live Creating Yourself.  Here are a few somewhat recent images of our bar/buffet area-

What I'm really going for is something like this-

Then there are these cuties.  Would it be crazy to put a mini bar in my bedroom?  I promise I'm not an alcoholic!

What about you?  Do you have a mini or full on bar in your home?
