Interior Inspiration - Glam Bar Carts

Today is a very exciting day on Dinner Party Talk;

We have our first Guest Post!

Mari from Design Shuffle is joining us today and has graciously decided to post about one of my favorite interior design accessories, BAR CARTS!
(an obvious necesity for any Dinner Party..)

Thanks again to for contributing to Dinner Party Talk,

 ENJOY!!...

Hello, everyone! It's Mari here from Design Shuffle, a fabulous social networking site for designers and design enthusiasts. You'll be inspired by all the lovely interior design images. I am so excited to be visiting Dinner Party Talk today to share some of my favorite spaces that show off glam bar carts. When I see one of these beauties, it evokes thoughts of small stylish cocktail parties in a Mid-Century setting. However, these lovely carts can add a bit of modern glamour to many of today's rooms. Please enjoy!

Here, two bar carts present a contrast in looks, one a study in simplicity and the other an appealing mix of colors and labels. Both are glamorous in brass.

This pretty brass bamboo bar cart doubles as lamp table flanked by stylish white and black stools. I love the built-in wine and stemware racks.

All that glitters in glam bar carts is not gold--sometimes it's a gorgeous silver finish. The silver lamp base is a perfect accent. This is a beautiful example of how bar carts can be added to today's interior designs.

The glam appeal of this dainty bar cart is amped up with mirrored trays. Lovely flutes with swirled color on their stems await champagne for a toast.

Another metal bamboo cart gives us an idea that glam bar carts can fit beautifully into almost any design style.

This white hide-encased cocktail bar feels masculine, but still glamorous with its mirrored interior. (This is one of Nikkie's favorites!)

Sofa table as bar cart--this custom design is the perfect answer for those seeking something a bit out of the ordinary. I love the curvy little lamps and pink ice bucket. (isn't the pink ice bucket adorable!!?)

Lastly, we leave you with an eclectic vignette filled with pretty decorating ideas! This glam bar cart is so beautiful in sleek acrylic. Images 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8

Nail Art

Every Monday evening, my ritual consists of watching trash T.V., aka The Bachelor, (GOO Lindzay!)  painting my nails, and normally enjoying a nice glass of wine. (ok, ok, it's a cheap glass of wine)

In honor of my semi-pathetic Monday nights, here is some nail art inspiration so you will LOOK FABULOUS at your next dinner party...

I love the glitter tip detail
