Hang on tight! This post is going to be a little (okay, a lot) different than anything that I've posted before. Along with my passion for fashion (that rhymed), I also love home decor. Painting, crafting, decorating...I love it all and hopefully some of you do too.
I have been on the lookout for a reasonably priced bar cart for quite some time now. As with most items, it wasn't something that I was so into I was willing to spend a good amount for so I was patient with it. One day, I came across 'History in High Heels' blog and THIS genius Ikea hack tutorial. Of course, I ran to Ikea ASAP and picked up my own for under 30 bucks. Unfortunately, I didn't get pictures of the whole process but it's really straight forward. Purchase it (it's silver), put it together (SUPER simple), spray paint (if wanted), and style. My sister and I spent about 4 hour total putting it together and painting it, including time to allow it to dry prior to a second coat (thanks sissy!). I used a variety of different items to style it. Dishes, straws, books, bowls, and a sweet chalkboard sign that currently reads "cheers". Needless to say, I love it. It's the perfect size for the corner I was looking to put it in and adds the simple spark I was looking for.
Give me some feedback on the home decor posts, don't be shy!
xoxo Katie
