A weekend wishlist

Posted in Decorations, Fashion & Style, Interior by

I’ve been out from work this week for medical reasons, and since I was mainly lying around on my couch, that gave me plenty of opportunity to browse the net and find a lot of great things to put on my wishlist…

For example, how great is this lemonade jar from HouseDoctor?

Just ordered a pair of these Lacoste slippers - can’t wait to wear them around the summer house!

Now that spring is here, I can’t wait to get my hands of some fresh rhubarb! I’ve pinned about a thousand recipes already, but how pretty do these meringue nests look?

Since I’m currently not allowed to wear heels, I’m always hunting for nice flats and sneakers. How cute are these seersucker keds? I’m obsessed with the nautical style!

For all the nice spring flowers, I want one of these adorable flower pots! They also come with the print “A little flower makes me smile”.

Finally, I really, really, really want to go back to Croatia…

Every home needs one of these: Bar carts

Posted in Interior by

I don’t know about you, but I just love bar carts! I think they give a really elegant and fancy vibe - if styled correctly. I’ve been wanting to have one forever, and I’m always on the lookout for a nice cart that I could use. I’m not quite sure yet whether I want to go with the vintage vibe, or if I want something more modern and clean. Here are some ideas I have collected so far - cheers!

 

1. The Cart

Not quite a cart, but a side bar

Very “Gatsby-like”, old-school bar cart

I love the wheels on this whimsical beauty

2. The Necessities

I think we can all agree that a good bar cart needs one thing: alcohol. Here are some of the must-haves to make your bar cart stylish AND functional.

4. The Cocktail Books

I know, I know, nowadays there’s nothing easier than looking up a cocktail recipe on the internet, but I still think that some carefully selected cocktail recipe books can be both decorative and useful for a bar cart. Here’s a selection.

As a lover of Hendrick’s gin, this one’s a gem!
