Bartender!

One thing the beau and I both decided we needed in our new home was a bar cart. Knowing that we wanted a vintage piece we hit the flea markets to hunt for one. After some negotiating, and indecisiveness on my part we went home with a steel side table from the 1930s. It wasn't until we were organizing our glasses and bottles on it that I realized it was perfect. Here's a peek at one of my favorite new additions to our home. 
One thing I wanted with my bar cart was multi level storage, mission accomplished.
We pulled the drawers out to display our glasses.
 Wine and tools stored on the lower shelf.
 Lemons and a lamp brighten up the area.
 Gold rimmed champagne flutes—another recent vintage find.
An old crate label that my grandfather gave me—too perfect for a bar.

I am loving this! I have been in search for a vintage bar cart for a while now. All of the new ones are way too expensive!

P.s. LOVE how you styled it with the lemons!

You two made an amazing choice. I too have been looking for the perfect bar cart. I was thinking about going for glass, but once I saw your vintage steel one it made me think how I need to open up my options. This piece also works great because it perfectly balances the masculine and feminine aspects. Love.
