Get the party started with an at-home bar

Channeling the 1950s advertising executive, the home bar has been enjoying a rather glamorous revival as of late. Taking permanent pride of place in the living room, seen above in phenomenal copper-coated glory, there seems to be an abundance of those sporting a set of wheels, acting as your portable party caddy.

The versatile home addition is charming in all its many forms, allowing revellers the opportunity to move their soirees from the dining room to somewhere more comfortable with ease. The bon vivant’s accessory of choice delivers a cool elegance to any abode.
