Get the Look: 50 Modern Bar Carts, Serving Carts, and Trolleys

As you know, bar carts  have become the must-have accent piece in the modern home. Even those who don’t drink want shiny a bar cart set up in an unused corner, styled to perfection with all the best bar accoutrements—decanters, shakers, stirrers, striped paper straws, martini glasses—finished with a killer piece of artwork hanging on the wall above it.

Bars don’t have to be on casters (though all the bar carts in this post are on wheels). You can create a bar in a cleared out section of a bookshelf, on a lacquered tray atop a console table, or repurpose the armoire you no longer need for your TV since you switched to a flatscreen. A tray table—the kind that’s an actual tray set into a butler’s stand—works particularly well as a home bar too.

This entry has been one of the site’s top five posts since I first published it over two years ago; it’s been long overdue for an overhaul. As of November 10, 2014 you’ll find 50 brand new bar carts arrayed here. With the holidays approaching, it seemed an ideal time for a bar carts refresh.

I’ve been thinking about setting up a bar for my husband for like half a dozen years now. At this point, with the boys approaching teendom, we’ll need a bar cabinet with a lock. (I’ll work on a bar cabinet post soon.) Perhaps I could pull one together as a holiday gift. Or his next birthday. We will be entertaining for our son’s bar mitzvah this winter. Can’t have a cocktail party without a  pretty home bar, after all.

This selection of 50 bar carts, serving carts, and trolleys, some with removable trays, are all ideal for setting up your home bar. Styles include contemporary, mid-century modern, art deco, and traditional classics in brass, walnut, acrylic, polished nickel, lucite, birch, oak, rattan and more.

Just In: Jonathan Adler in the Bathroom

jonathan-adler-cottonell
Jonathan Adler for Cottonelle Toilet Paper Holders

This is sort of funny; I laughed when I read the press release. Jonathan Adler has partnered with Cottonelle to create toilet paper holders.  As a Jonathan Adler fan, I couldn’t resist, so I had them send a few over. They’re plastic, but sturdy, and the designs are pure J.A. Oddly enough, I had just the other day been thinking about how I could store a few spare rolls in our powder room. So, voilà.


Not bad, right?


How do you like the new wallpaper in our powder room?  It’s
Tres Tintas Barcelona.


Mine are signed!

Want your own?

Go to RespectTheRoll.com. The covers are free with an offer code in specially marked packs of Cottonelle Clean Care Toilet Paper, plus $1.99 shipping. Or, purchase online for $2 each plus $1.99 shipping. Offer ends April 30, 2012.

THIS IS NOT A PAID POST.  I JUST THOUGHT THEY WERE CLEVER.  THEY DID SEND ME 3 GRATIS.

Urban Show House: Jonathan Adler

The Urban Show House is a smash. I missed the opening party Thursday night, but plan to stop by tomorrow to see the entire house in its fully decorated glory.  Meanwhile Ricardo sent along some pics. Here is the one room I haven’t shown you – the kitchen/family room designed by Jonathan Adler. But one look and you know that. I am still not over the glossy green chairs, and totally contemplating theis color scheme for my living room. Just need to amp up with saturated color.  Wish he had done some more pattern in here, with draperies, but since it’s not a real room, I guess there’s only so much one can do. Still like it lots. And now I know where his banana rug is meant to be. The house is open all weekend, so stop by 44 Bradford if you’re in Boston.
