i’ve often thought it would be very sophisticated of me (this is quite an oxymoron if you know me at all) to have a charming little cocktail bar cart, like the ones you might see in a stylish manhattan pied-à-terre. so, ah heck, i think i’m going to go for it in the new house. i plan on lots of little lifestyle changes, and being less hermit-like is one big change i’m adding to the list. lots of backyard dinner parties, and regular sunday suppers, complete with a cocktail hour. so, here’s some sweet little bar carts and set-ups that have inspired me.
