If you’re anything like us, you’ve got quite the collection
of bottles and barware tucked into a cupboard, only making an
appearance at the odd dinner party or cocktail hour. But after
spotting these charming home bars around Pinterest lately,
we’ve been inspired to dig out those St. Germain bottles,
crystal decanters, and retro shakers to create a cocktail-themed
collection worthy of a 1960s Manhattan penthouse. The best
part? Our favorite martinis are now always at the ready—just add
ice!
We’ve long been fans of bar carts, ever since
spotting these Society Social beauties at Silk & Burlap this winter. But if a such a piece—new or
vintage—is out of the budget, consider using something you already
have on hand to stand in as your home bar. Add a decorative
tray to an unadorned side table in the living room, or top a sideboard
in the dining room or kitchen with an arrangement of your
favorite spirits, mixers, and glassware.
And if you need ideas for how to style your tabletop bar, we found inspiration aplenty over at Pinterest user Because It’s Awesome’s “tabletop” board. Our faves? All things gold and sparkly.
