Long before we moved in together, David and I loved talking about having a bar cart in our new home. We talked about all of the essentials we would need, what type of bar cart we would get, and of course all of the fun cocktails we could make!

When we did move in together and started actually researching, I realized that bar carts are more expensive than I originally thought! We decided that we needed a more budget friendly bar cart, at least while we are still building our lives and living on a budget! After a lot of research, we found a great Ikea hack using their $30 Bygel Cart, spray paint, and marble contact paper. We are absolutely in love with how the finished product turned out, even though we still need some styling (we definitely need a picture above!). I think the cart would also look great with a different contact paper, so use your imagination!
