Good Morning!

So, now that I have finished my bedroom, I’ve decided that there are few small changes I want to make in my living room.  And replacing this ugly thing is one of them….

I put it there because I had it and needed aomewhere to put my books, but it’s too small, needs a paint job and is an eyesore. Soooo, I’ve decided to move the books and photos and replace it with a bar cart!  This isn’t to suggest that I like drinking over reading (although some days that may be true). It will be so much better that what is there now, but first I have to find one I like that that isn’t too expensive. So I’ve rounded up some ones I like (but mostly can’t afford) for inspiration…

1. I really like this one with contrasting white tray on the top but it might be a bit big for the space. It’s $439, not crazy but I think I can do better.

2.  This is an Etsy vintage find (which is sold) but I like the oval shape, because they tend to be smaller, plus I think it’s softer in that tight space.

3. Really like this one but it might be too high….oh, and it’s $1400…

4. This one from Colin Cowie is fun.  Part pretty, part modern, and likely a good size for the space.  And very reasonable at about $250.

But then I decided my best bet was Craig’s List or Kijiji. And luckily I found a few that I’m seriously considering….like this one….

only $150, and I’m liking the marbled base!

And this one….

a reasonable $220!

Which one do you like??

I’ll be contacting these sellers today for sure.

XO,
