It seems that every autumn, we fall in love all over again with all things preppy, equestrian, and ivy-league-inspired -- crested blazers, tartans and plaids, and bar carts, which have become a style staple -- and, since light and flirty summer dresses have {regrettably} been replaced with long cashmere scarves and soft cardigans, shall happily succumb to the wind-rippled days with a glass of autumn wine . . .

*sigh* I am currently searching for the perfect bar cart to fill a nook in my dining room.
These examples are awesome [my favorites: # 2 and # 5].
I LOVE the idea of a bar cart. Such a classy addition to a room.
we've got a bar cart at my childhood home - i must remember to tell my mom that she's really fashionable =)
i think we need to look for beautiful ways of coping with autumn. i'm looking forward to wearing my bottle green/plum tartan scarf with matching plum buttery soft leather gloves when the temperature starts to drop!
Lovely post, I love them although being English couldnt work out what a bar cart was until I looked at the pix ! Such a graceful addition to a room. Many thanks, Julie.
i have long lusted after a bar cart for my dining room, and i love the images on your site :)
Ah the quintessential Glamorous post - along with tartan, trench coats, neutrals and sequins
Hi there !
I've just found one (last monday) in a thrift store for my husband. Now, he can show his 3-4 best whisky bottles and his cocktail shakers with style. I might give it a makeover in a while, but for now, I leave it as it is. You can check it out if you want : http://nocesdecoton.canalblog.com/archives/2009/10/05/15317826.html (and don't worry, I'm french, but I try to write my blog in both French and English).
Hope you like it !
Fantastic ideas. I have been looking for the perfect country-modern-glamourous-bar-cart for years... perhaps you have re-ignited the flame. Flea markets this weekend? Sounds like the perfect excuse.
As always thank you for the inspiration...

I'm trying to think of the perfect drink set to put on my drink cart! I think I would drape a plaid throw over mine :)
A glass of autumn wine is such a delightful idea!
I have that German workbench as my kitchen island........but I'm totally going to use it as the bar next time.........awesome idea....
Gorgeous- love the first one.
In the most recent version of pottery barn catalog they have this featured. Looks pretty sexy to me

Hi! I would like to just step into one of the pictures, sit down comfortably and enjoy a good book with a glass of whine, or celebrate autumn with some friends...thank you for posting them!
Love, Lilly :D
I love these cart vignettes.. So sheik yet so casual and fun.
Every grown-up apartment needs a bar cart. I've been on the hunt for ages. Which means I'm not quite a grown-up yet, I guess!
Cheers to this! Lovely selections -and now you have me in the mood for a drink...
what a great idea! I have a empty corner in my living room, This would be perfect!
ummmm.. Now I want a glam bar cart too!
Must be something in the air - I posted a pic of my "tea trolley" today!
I have such a fascination with bar carts. I love the idea of a dark, moody, Ralph Lauren style men's apartment, with bold glasses and liqueur on a stunning silver and black cart.
Though, I love the last little one, with wheels -- the shape is so pretty, and the look could work with so many styles.
these photos are so great! I've been obsessing over a mini bar for a while now, even though I rarely drink. thanks for the surprising fix!
