You know I love a good bar cart, especially when it comes in gold and is topped off with my favorite accessories. I have seen this bar cart across the web but can’t wrap my head around the $1,000 price tag.

So instead of investing a pretty penny into pricey furniture, I’ve rounded up a few key pieces on how you can get the look for less.

Insert Target. I’ve been such a fan of this pretty little bar cart for months. I’ve blogged about it many a times, but it really is so versatile and can be used a number of different ways! And can we talk about the $100 dollar price point for a second? Yes, please.

When it comes to accessoriszing a bar cart or creating a little “cocktail corner” like this one pictured above, it really is quite easy and only comes down to a few key elements:

• The first is the bar cart (trick: if you don’t have a bar cart place a low bookshelf in a corner that has a similar height and width). Target and One Kings Lane both have great affordable bar cart options.

• Second is the bar cart accessories and bar wear. A few of my favorite key elements include champagne glasses, low glass tumbles as well as an ice bucket to chill your bubbles.

• Third is a delicious cocktail recipe! One cannot go wrong with this St. Germain cocktail recipe I found on Domino. Mix the ingredients listed below and garnish with a lemon peel.

What’s on your bar cart? Xoxo. Lauren
