Maybe it’s Mad Men?  Maybe it’s the holidays?  Maybe it’s Pinterest?

Whatever the cause, it feels as though- for the past couple of years– everyone has had a major case of bar carts on the brain.  Earlier this month, our talented Director of Design Ops, Shelby Girard, offered us her tips on how to style a bar.  Almost every stylish tastemaker we follow on Pinterest has a board dedicated to bar carts and bar styling tips!  I’m personally grateful– this stylish bar trend makes conjuring up your favorite cocktail before cocktail hour feel almost decorous!

You certainly don’t need a bar cart in order to present your bar beautifully.  But honestly– a piece of furniture dedicated to your bar and hostessing accessories?  What’s not to like?  For this week’s Tuesday Ten, we’ve sourced a few of our favorites currently available via a variety of fabulous retailers:

No room for this hostessing essential as a dedicated bar?  Emily Henderson (seriously, how much can we repin her before she gets creeped out?) shows us how she would utilize different types of bar carts for different places in the home in this very helpful post!

Which cart is your favorite?

And do not forget to enter our giveaway for an autographed copy of Jeffrey Alan Marks’ new gorgeous design book!  It takes maybe 10 seconds.  You can even follow us on Twitter or like us on Facebook for extra entries.  I’m telling you– that book will look great on your bar cart! xx, A
