$20 for a Quickie



















I bought this cart for $20 off craigslist on Friday.  The chalkboard I found in my bff's basement.
























A coat of primer and a coat of black, and a 5 minute styling with things from around my house, and voila, I have a bar in my porch.  I have a bar in my living room already, but it's warm now and I don't want to have to spend an extra minute inside refreshing my drink or yours.  This is why decorating is more fun than gardening.

I also spent a little time on Etsy looking for a cool tray for my new bar, I found a few winners.....















































































Which one do you like best?  They were all under $20.  (Barb it is ok to comment).

  4. MFAMB I can explain, in the same porch I have an old chrome table and chair set, and the brass (it was gold) really clashed with the chrome. So I went with black.
