1. Steven Arroyo chose a masculine yet warm approach to designing his entire home. This bar cart may have even been used for utility or in an office at one point. Nonetheless, I love his decoration of liquor, art and sculpture.
2. Eric & Tomas have a very colorful and glamorous style, curating many pieces of their own collection and showroom. Their bar cart was beautiful and shiny; perfect with their loft space.
3. Everything about John & Jim's home is beautiful and quite regal in design. Finding this incredible bar cart stowed in the corner of his dining room was no surprise.
4. Emily & Geoffrey noted that entertaining and acquiring the space to do so was one of their top priorities when searching for a new apartment. With a formal dining room to gather friends and loved ones, this bar cart created from a vintage science cart adds a creative and bright element to the room.
5. Lorena & Ryan are sadly leaving this awesome retro designed condo. The one thing I admired was their dedication and love to all things truly mid-century modern, including this awesome bar cart!

My love and I are looking for exactly this sort of thing. Great ideas. This feature, however, is terribly written. The grammar makes me cringe and the cliches are... certainly assertive. Apologies for the negative feedback, but I expect higher quality from my favorite site.
Oooh...my bar cart does not look like any of these. I'm glancing at it right now and it's a hot mess. I have bottles of Pucker's schnapps and other non-sophisticated items that detract from the look I'm going for. Maybe fancying up the bar cart will be today's little project.
I've totally been searching for a vintage, affordable bar cart with no luck. I love these though!
The first is my absolute favorite! So classy and works really well. I think I'll always prefer dark wood to silver though. Also, I didn't think anything bad about the grammar and didn't notice any bad cliches, sounded fine to me!

After spending a lot of time searching for an affordable vintage bar cart to match my style and not finding anything affordable, I finally went with a butler's tray on a stand from West Elm and I really love it. It added a lot of elegance to that particular part of my room.
I'm a bit hyper-sensitive to proper punctuation and grammar -- including incorrect use of commas and the lack of semi-colons or hyphens when they are appropriate. Such improper use is also reflected in your comment, Alyssa, where you have incorrectly used the comma and indulgently exclamated.
The comment above is so unnecessary!
I am hyper sensitive about nonsense...so stop making these posts, which interrupt the flow of my blog experience!
Anyhow...bar stool are incredibly useful and I am in love total and complete love with #2...such glamour!
I had no bad intentions with that comment to you Kendra I was simply telling the author of the blog that I had no problem with it. It was a statement of encouragement!

Nice - I'd love to see more bar carts...
Bar carts are so elegant, aren't they?
Also, here's a link to a great little video:

Pedants, take note.
I can just see someone crashing into that bar cart at the base of the stairs with dogs and baskets full of laundry...
...they couldn't find anywhere else for it?
Bepsf- for some reason I imagine these stairs being very wide and an appropriate place. You could be right though. If there's a lot of space it could be a really nice place for it and spice up the bottom of the stairs a bit.
I can't afford a vintage cart, so I got one for $30 at Ikea.
I found a vintage bar cart and I want to fix it up and use it in my home, but I want to repurpose it, because we have a full vintage built-in bar in the basement already. Any great ideas?
Extra cabinet/counter space? Telephone stand? Entryway table for framed pictures? Maybe?

Never had the desire to openly display liquor bottles...
I converted my kid's changing table into a rolling bar. http://www.flickr.com/photos/heathashli/5432692179/ & http://www.flickr.com/photos/heathashli/5285641554/
Vintage tea trays also do the trick!
The stairs are wide, and are stone, so that gives it a different context. Still, it is a little awkward, but love the vignette.
And particularly love that shade of grey -- a Benjamin Moore shade he never shared the name of.
Where do you keep these things? In the living room because that's where the entertaining takes place? In the kitchen because that's where the ice is? I'd love to have my liquor bottles on a cart but I have no idea where I'd put it.
I wish I had room for one. Right now my liquor bottles are lined up on the window sill. It can't be good for them (the ones that aren't already empty, anyway) to sit in full sunlight like that, though. Oh, well.
What's even worse than that is that I live in a dry county, so having liquor displayed at all is not a good idea. I guess it's kind of stupid for me to have it openly displayed in a window--a window with no covering that faces the road, I might add.
After viewing these bar carts I immediately wanted one for my home. I got so extremely lucky and found a vintage bar cart at a consignment store for only $50.00.
I'll have a post about it tomorrow ~ Check out my blog to see the treasure I found! :)

I bought the most beautiful bar cart on ebay; brass & glass 30s design. But now it just sits in our living room since I am too scared to actually fill it. I have two small children.
Is children and a filled bar card a no go?
Like @quiltmaster, I don't think I would want to display my bar supplies. While a cart would be great so I didn't have to take 3 trips from the cupboard, I'd want one with doors so friends and family who don't approve wouldn't be blatantly confronted.
Do you have any idea who the artist is of the Los Angeles drawing above Emily's bar? I love it!
