OUR IKEA BAR CART



January 22, 2015

I’ve had my eye on this little minty-green cart from Ikea ever since it first premiered. During trips to Ikea to take in it’s beautiful practicalness and unique, yet on-trend color.  In the end it always felt like I didn’t really need it, and thus shouldn’t buy it. Thankfully, my mother-in-law got the tip this Christmas and I can now call it mine. (I suggest Pinterest board Christmas lists for everyone!)
I initially kind of needed it to store all my baking supplies on the cart and stash it in the pantry, but seeing as our pantry is non-existent at this point (that’s our next project!), it is perfectly filling my bar-cart void. With our entertaining supplies so handy we fill the need to entertain, and a 5 o’clock cocktail is a rarity no more! I’m sure its styling will evolve in the coming months as I get used to our first bar cart, but here’s our first attempt! (By the way, I think I have a stem-glass issue, this is only like a 1/5 of our collection, anyone else in the same boat? I think I have a problem…..)

    I love these carts too! I've always wanted one, but like you said, I don't NEED it. I'm sure buy it at some point anyways 🙂
