Summer is the time of year when schedules are off, things slow down, and we have more visitors than usual. Nothing makes me happier than family or friends visiting! The bar in our home is a focal point and I keep it stocked so no need to run out before company except to add fresh fruit or flowers.

This is a picture of our bar taken by Christina Wedge during a recent photo shoot of our home. The over sized mirror was actually a DIY project comprised of beveled mirror squares that I purchased at Home Depot. Using silicone, I attached the mirrors to the wall and then used 4" primed casing stock, also from HD, to attach the frame. To give the frame an aged wood look I used one of the crackling paint kits from Michael's. Together they make a large impact but at a fraction of the cost for a mirror of this size. I like using the mirror as a backdrop and layer items over it to add interest and depth. Right now I have the feather wreath, which softens the lines of the sideboard and mirror, but I change it out depending on my mood or the season. I leave the most colorful bottles out on display along with black and white striped straws and fresh fruit to add a pop of color.
Here are a few of my favorite images of pretty bars and bar carts.

I love how each bar is so unique utilizing such varied furniture options indicative to the space's particular style from a potting bench to an antique library and even a casual wicker basket.
Cheers to always being ready to greet a friend with stylish hospitality!
