A bar cart is the best cart

Uh, SCORE!!


I decided I had to have a bar cart after seeing a few pictures of them in living rooms, hit up Kijiji (just like Craiglist) and immediately found this amazing cart. 

 

 It was listed as "vintage bar cart", and was priced at $45. I ended up getting it for $40 because one of the wheels had fallen off. I quickly fixed it with a new pin.



I put it at the end of our couch, where it now acts as part end table, and part boozy vehicle.


I've stored some overflow Perrier, mixing tools, ice bucket and a handy whiskey reference guide on the bottom shelf. One day I'll probably use the area to display some of my nicer glasses, but right now I have a toddler, so...

 I love the detailing on this cart.

 


I love that it's such a unique replacement for a regular end table.


Definitely the best second hand thing I've ever found.

    I LOVE it!! I'm a bit envious of your boozy vehicle and I love it as a replacement for a regular sidetable. Definitely more interesting. Color me inspired, I'm off to peruse my local Craigslist! I have a bar area in our dining room, but who doesn't need a cart for those days when you just can't move any farther than your seat? ;-)
