A Genius DIY Bar Cart + How To Style It

You’ll never guess what this bar cart used to be…or believe that it cost less than $60.

Really. Here’s the scoop…

A few weeks ago, Miss Kris called me from Ikea and told me that a baby changing table had caught her eye…

“Oh?” I asked, a little confused, and suggested she take a Swedish meatball break. Neither one of us has bambinos, so I was perplexed and, truth be told, a little distracted, as I was en route to Trina’s glam LA house.

She continued, “I want to make it into a bar cart.”

Suddenly my ears perked up!

But while she had the vision for transforming the baby changing table into a chic watering hole, she needed a little help styling it.

Enter moi!

And today over on on Domaine Home — where I’m now a contributor! — Miss Kris and I are sharing how to make this DIY bar cart + tips on how to style it. The best part? The whole DIY costs under $60! I’ll drink to that.

You can watch the video of the transformation too!

Stay tuned for more fun decorating + entertaining ideas…

Until then, cheers!
