This year is our second Christmas season with our bar cart! I’m still so happy with this “functional decorating” decision. It’s been so simple to style plus it’s a handy piece for serving and daily storage, too. I love pieces like this that bring peace and beauty to our home in every season.
Most of the time I just keep functional serving pieces on it that double as decor, such as a stack of pretty linen napkins, our wood salad tongs, a few serving plates or bowls, chargers and some sort of seasonal touch.
The other day it felt particularly dark out in the middle of the afternoon so I brought down one of the rechargeable lamps from our gift wrap closet. I had never considered a lamp here before but it’s made it feel extra cozy and so peaceful. Rechargeable lamps or bulbs are perfect for spots like this that don’t have any accessible outlets (or if you don’t want to string a cord from outlet to fixture).
For Christmas I placed one of our small trees to our kitchen crock. I tied a small velvet ribbon on the lamp and a small wreath around it.
Simple joys.
