{valentine's day | bar cart}

I have loved my bar cart since the day I finally purchased it. Before I moved into my studio apartment I constantly thought about buying one but never had the perfect spot for it. Now I’m constantly changing it up, rearranging, and decorating it for any season Target can supply $1 items for ;)

This Valentine’s Day I knew I wanted to deck it with everything pink! I live alone so why not make my little space as girly as I possibly can?! First up was the pink garland – it was a silly purchase but I already have an idea on how I can reuse it (birthdays, bachelorettes, etc).

I then bought some adorable pink glasses, new paper straws, cocktail napkins, and reused the “cheer” stirrers from my Christmas décor! I found almost everything in the holiday section at the front of Target - it's my favorite place to stop by first because everything is $1-$5!

I found a bottle of “Love Noir” wine and mixed it in with my Winc wine purchases.  A cute cliché nod to the holiday don’t ya think?

I always have wine stoppers on hand and this new one from Hudson & Crane reminded me of Cupid’s bow and arrows. I stash all of my wine stoppers (and airplane bottles) in the mercury jar on the top - I kept this one out to act as a weight for the cocktail napkins.

To add the finishing touch I bought Hershy’s Hugs! I always have chocolate around my house… it just adds a festive touch and I like being able to grab a sweet bite on my way out the door. Plus, Valentine’s Day is all about the chocolate! I added more roses and chocolates on my coffee table too.

I have wanted a bar cart for years! I know, that sounds ridiculous... I've just always been fascinated by them. I love how you can change up the look, put your festive things on display, and have everything on hand for serving your guests. Now that I have my own space I had the perfect spot for a bar cart and a mini gallery wall! Having a collage of art was a way to anchor the bar cart to the space - so it didn't seem like it was just floating along a big white wall. I already had two canvases that I painted and a wooden anchor (hello, blog name) and I knew that mixing in different sizes of art would create a fun look!

Now that Halloween and Thanksgiving are coming up I switched out a few things to make it more festive! I went on a little trip to Marshall's and Target last weekend to get out of the house and found these adorable pumpkins! I'm sure everyone will have them but I can't get enough... they'll work perfectly all Fall!
