Serve Holiday Guests in Style

As the holidays approach, you’re probably starting to throw around ideas to make your apartment more hospitable for guests. If you’re throwing a holiday part of any kind this season, a bar cart can really take things to the next level - and it doesn’t necessarily even have to break the bank!

Primer Magazine had a great article last week guiding us through a cheap, beautiful DIY bar cart for serving holiday beverages to your guests. There are even options for customization:

There are actually three options for this project. The two shelf version shown here ($37 full price), a three shelf option ($50 full price), or two shelf with a drawer ($75 full price). Depending on how much stuff you have and how much you want to spend, you may find one of these other options suits you better. 

 This is one of the easiest DIY projects to date on Primer. We’re adding a stained wood liner to the shelves to class it up a bit, but other than that, we’re just assembling the cart as usual. 

 There are a few additions you can make as well. I used ‘s’ hooks on the handle to hold a lime press and bottle opener, and you could get a wine rack to hang underneath the shelf from Amazon for a few bucks. (If you do that, I would recommend installing it before putting the wood liner in.) You could also install a wall-mounted bottle opener to the side. The handle is a good place to hang a bar towel.
