Mini Bar: Small Scale Sideboards

We love to entertain but when hosting a party we never feel as if there is enough space for everything: the coats, the food, the glasses, the drinks, the guests! Setting aside a spot for each “station” will help improve the traffic flow at your next party and help you stay organized.

Investing in a piece of furniture to house your wine and other cocktail paraphernalia is a great idea for this season of parties. If you don’t have a lot of space try looking for a tower piece to utilize vertical space. If you do have room for a bar, think about purchasing several small pieces and group them together for a custom look. And don’t forget to brush up on your cocktail savvy!

You guys put so much effort into finding ways to store liquor that I'm beginning to wonder if there's a problem ;)

Very helpful! Was just thinking about having an actual liquor cabinet -- a designated space. I like the high and low price mix. One thing, do any of them lock? I think I need something that locks with small kids about.

I loved the fusionfurniture cart -- but at $1200? Go CB2 with your lucite line -- one day some of your items will be mine!
