    5 Unique Ways To Use Your Bar Cart!

    Hey everyone! Today we are talking about bar carts and 5 unique ways to use them that don't involve liquor!

    Bar carts are without a doubt very popular right now.  

    Although seemingly trendy, I think they're a classic piece that's versatile and can be put to work {and look good doing it!} in just about any room of your home.

    If you follow me on Instagram you know that a few months ago I found this great bar cart while thrifting for $15!

    I already had plans for my bar cart to play the role of the fabulous plant stand, but I love to switch things up in my house so this may not last forever.

    5 Unique Ways To Use Your Bar Cart:

    1. Plant Stand

    Over the past year, I've become a little plant obsessed and I love the look of them grouped together. This is also a great way to corral your plants when you start becoming a plant hoarder like me ?!

    2. Bathroom Storage

    Short on storage space in your bathroom?  Consider using a bar cart to hold essentials like towels, soaps, and other bathroom necessities.

    As you can see this solution is both pretty and practical!

    3. Side Table / Nightstand

    Bar carts make for a fun alternative to traditional side tables and nightstands. Plus with multiple shelves, you also get extra space for display or storage.

    4. Mobile Book Shelf

    This is a great solution for those with limited space that may not have the real estate for a large bookshelf.  

    Plus when needed the books can always be moved and drinks can be served in style!

    5. Kitchen Storage

    When counter space is at a premium in your kitchen a bar cart is a great choice for adding additional surface space.

    The fact that bar carts are almost always on wheels makes it super convenient to wheel it out when you need it and store it away when you don't.

      Hi Linda! Great post ! You know #1 is my favorite! 🙂
      BTW I finally found a mobile cart for my plants. Sadly, it's not a bar cart, but it wheels so that helps me move it away from the drafty Windows in the evenings. I will share soon 🙂
