    Lots of beautiful ideas for bar carts! I admit, I kind of have an obsession with bar carts right now, but I don’t own one…..yet. I have a friend that has a neat little round bar cart and she stocks it with drinks and snacks for her kids when they get home from school. Another great idea!

    I have two carts in my workshop waiting for a makeover! I will be starting them today. One is going in my laundry room, the other will probably be sold because they are the same type of cart. After seeing this idea for a cart outside, I’m sold! Looks like I will be either scouting for one or simply building one. Well…now I might need 2 more…lol!
