Today’s Dreaming of Design Wednesday is going to be a
little different than the norm. This week I am going to show you some furniture
pieces and a room that I have been seriously crushing on.
First up, is a room that I am head over heels for, I would buy those chairs in a heartbeat if I
could find them. I am trying to figure out a way to build them myself for our
living room.
I also currently really like all of the bars made from
suitcases that I am seeing in home décor, vintage suitcases are easy to find at
resale shops, flea markets and online, and a majority of the time they are pretty
cheap. The elegance, design and style of
the 50’s-60’s has always appealed to me.
In our entryway I have made a small bar area to welcome guests into our
home. Nothing says welcome like a fresh cocktail when you walk in the door. The
first bar pictured would be great if you were tight on space, and could easily
fit onto an entry table.
This wall mounted suitcase turned bar could be added to a
gallery wall, not only adding functionality but dimension as well.
Since
the outdoor entertaining season is upon us I thought I should end this post
with some outdoor entertaining items that are swoon worthy. I love this drink dispenser and stand from
Ballard Designs (but really, what's not to love from Ballard Designs!) I would
have two of these set up for company during the summer, one with iced tea and
the other with lemonade.
These
two nesting trays, also from Ballard Design, look great next to the beverage
server and don’t take up much storage room.
Finally,
this cart from Target would also be a great serving piece to have for
entertaining outside, it could also do double duty and be used inside as your
bar cart, or as an entry piece.
Wow, with all of this talk
about bars, bar carts and the outdoor entertaining I must be needing a
margarita in my life! Thanks for stopping by Preston Drive, next time come
visit me on the back patio, where I will hopefully be enjoying an ice cold
drink.
