Apartment Style: Drink Station

i’ve always been a fan of bar carts. wait, i can’t really say always, can i? seeing as they’ve only been cool for a couple years now…so, i’ve been a fan of bar carts for a couple years now. i enjoy the occasional glass of wine or fruity cocktail, but i’m more interested in having a cool looking drink station than the actual alcohol it will hold. i have a feeling some of you feel exactly the opposite πŸ˜‰

my roommate’s and my apartment is still a work in progress, meaning we still don’t have a kitchen table and we’ve lived here for almost 5 months…but we do have some areas completely decorated so i’m able to share them with you!

this wall just might be my favorite in the place. it’s fun and organized and pretty (minus the cord from the pendant lamp). and it’s exactly what i pictured it would look like back when i would just stare at the floor plan for this place and brainstorm how i was going to decorate.

it’s pretty simple and was so easy to throw together. honestly, the only thing that we added were the prints that my roommate purchased. everything else was already owned or given to me as a gift (i.e. the candle holder). oh, and that little candle on the tray is scented like “sparkling champagne” — could there be a more perfect candle?!

here’s a list of where most things are from:
shelving unit: Ikea
wall frames: Hobby Lobby and Michael’s
hanging light: World Market (similar)
green tray: Target (similar)
candleholder: Home Goods (similar)
metal picture hangers: Anthropologie
white leaf tray: Target
key bottle opener: Pottery Barn
wire basket: Target
vase with flowers: Marshall’s
small candle holder: Ikea
straws: Etsy
prints: my roommate found them on Etsy!
