Infamous Bar Cart

I fell in love with bar carts quite awhile ago. Yes…it’s true…I fall in love with objects of no valuable use or function. They have invaded the blogosphere, design sites, and Pinterest, and I can’t get enough.
I always knew I wanted one, and I’ll admit I’ve had quite a few opportunities to snatch one up at flea markets or Craigslist. What stopped me? One condition; I REFUSED to spend more than $40 on one and I couldn’t find one for less than $80.
There is a perfect little corner in my house for some of this prettiness:

Well kids, the wait and search are over. It was one of those lucky Craigslist days where the second it was posted… I saw. I offered. I conquered. 
This bamboo baby is mine:
  I paid a whopping $40. It was originally $50. I’m thinking I see some gold or white in its near future… what do you think?

    Love! I'm on a hunt for one of these too! I saw one on Instagram and was in love. She said she got hers on craiglist too by searching tea carts. Genius!!

    These are great organizers. It's nice to see a little class in a bar cart, which is a nice change from the beer-filled mini fridge.
    Love the title of your blog!

    Sincerely,
