I’ve always wanted a bar cart to hold all the libation for our guests. The condo was too crowded to fit a bar cart. I was super excited that we found just the perfect nook for a bar cart in the new home. Though I now had the perfect spot for a party cart, I was faced with two challenges. First, finding something that was slim enough for the ‘nook’ and second, I wasn’t looking to spend a few hundreds of dollars. After doing some research online and following the footsteps of other expert DIY-ers (love this and this option), I decided to tackle a DIY Gold Bar Cart/Ikea hack.
I must say, $40 got me a long way and I am absolutely 100% satisfied with my DIY Gold Bar Cart, Ikea makeover.

Though many items are available at big box stores, the truth is, some items are rare and I find myself having to dig through local, privately owned shops or specialty online shops like Etsy.

I don’t mind having an abundance of supplies on hand, but for the average DIY-er who only wants to make a specific item, having to purchase materials in large quantities can be discouraging.

Hello! I hope you had a great weekend! I’ve been receiving a ton of great feedback on my “Style Tip” posts, therefore, I’ve added another on the list. Today. I will talk dresses. I love wearing dresses in the summer time, it’s hassle free to just throw on a one piece, not having to worry about what to wear on the top and what to wear on the bottom. It gets slightly tricky in the cooler months (especially if you’re living a country with cold winters!). Here are a few style tips to get you started to dress up in the fall.
