Bar Cart 2 Ways: Party & Every Day

Just in time for New Year's Eve, I'm sharing how I style our bar cart for every day, and for a special occasion... like celebrating the beginning of a new decade!! I partnered with Serena + Lily to style their South Seas Side Cart in 2 ways to show how versatile this piece can be (and it's on casters so it is so easy to move around from room to room!). Although I'm showing it here in my kitchen, I think this piece would also work really well as a side table, night stand, bathroom storage, or even a changing table in a nursery!

Style #1: Every Day

Here I've styled the South Seas Side Cart with a few items from around the house, including my favorite Poetto Vase filled with ruscus stems (these things are about $5 a bunch and last forever!). I love the contrast of the neutral styling with the black cart -- coastal with a modern twist! The art is "Tranquility" by Deb Presutto.

Style #2: Party! 

Now for the fun part! 😁 Here, I kept the Poetto Vase but swapped out the books etc. for a few of our favorite libations! I used some basic glasses we have but I think these would be a really nice upgrade with a fun coastal vibe!

How ever you ring in the new year, I hope 2020 begins with a smile for you! Wishing you peace, wellness and joy!

P.S. - I rounded up some of my favorite bar carts from Serena + Lily, along with a few of my favorites for hosting and entertaining:

Cyber Monday Deals!

If you missed the Black Friday deals over the weekend, don't worry... this year's Cyber Monday sales are SO good! Here's a quick round-up of some of my favorites:

• J. Crew is doing 50% off your purchase with code MONDAY on top of some already awesome cyber monday deals -- I scooped up this cute hair bow (love this easy way to dress up a simple ponytail!), some new swim suits and of course some winter cozies! Joggers for the win 🙌
• Serena + Lily sweetened the deal by including sale items in their 25% off sitewide Thank You event (use code THANKFUL), and some of these are just too good to pass up! These nesting tables are especially calling my name -- I love the cerused black oak finish and sleek lines! So many pieces I have my my own house are on sale right now too, including my counter stools, lidded baskets, teak step stool, diamond jute rug, and of course alllll the pillows (Topanga, Camille, Avalis and Ashby are my personal faves!) This is their biggest sale of the year so don't miss it! (see my previous post on all of my picks from the sale)
• Pottery Barn also has so many incredible deals right now (25% off and free shipping with code CYBER), including this gorgeous canopy bed and my master bedroom chandelier at the lowest price I've seen! (see previous post for more of my Pottery Barn sale picks)
• Target always has great Cyber Monday deals and this year is no exception. My favorite cleaning tool, this cordless Dyson vacuum, is on sale and I can't recommend it highly enough. Also this Nikon camera bundle is SUCH a great deal! (see previous post for more of my Target picks)
• Nordstrom has awesome prices right now on some of my favorite brands like Dash & Albert and PomPom at Home (this huge body pillow is the one I have on our bed and I loooooove it!). I'm also thinking about getting this woven cotton Dash & Albert rug - love the marled look and soft grey tone.
• My Samsung Frame TV is $400+ off right now (even lower prices for open-box items)!!! Run!

Happy shopping friends! :)
