MM Pinterest Hacks 101: How to style a bar cart!

Picture
Bar carts are one of the hottest trends, and I must admit I couldn't be happier about it! The biggest challenge is how to style them... Using a variation of heights, elements, and colors is a good place to start. Add unexpected elements for a more unique look. This is one of my favorite Pinterest finds! See below for all the details on how to recreate this look...

Lets start with the main character first...the actual bar cart! This is truly a showstopper...it's designed and manufactured by one of my favorite designers -- Society Social! This is truly an investment worth making!

Design Tips from MM: Copper is Hot, Hot, Hot...Here's how can you incorporate it into your home...

This week I had the pleasure of re-connecting with a long-time mentor of mine – Vicki Payne! She is the creator and producer of the For Your Home TV series and FYH Home Brands.
We spent the afternoon wandering through a few of our favorite stores here in NYC, and one thing was very apparent… Copper is “IN”!  
Take a look below to see how copper tones can be incorporated into your home…  

Picture
Copper trays are the perfect accents that are also useful! Use them to serve cocktails, to create a grouping of accessories or candles, or to have the occasional breakfast in bed!

These velvet and silk pillows would add a touch of elegance to any room! 
Don't be afraid to update your bedding with this bold trend either...try adding a copper throw; or for a more impactful punch, try copper sheets. 
Shop Copper Bedding
Picture
Even the bathroom wasn't forgotten with this trend.  Think about adding a hand towel to your already existing color scheme. Copper is a great tone to coordinate with other colors such as pale pinks, greys, and neutrals. 
Shop Copper Bath Towels
Shop Copper Bath Accessories

These lighting fixtures definitely add drama! I love the contrast created between the metal and the crystal seen on the left as well as the sleek lines and finishes seen on the right.  

Shop Copper Chandelier
Shop Copper Pendant
Picture
Copper pots are often only seen in high-end kitchens and used by professional chefs....not any more! If you're like me and your budget doesn't allow for real copper pots or you're just not interested in the high-maintenance up-keep; look-alikes will provide the same look without breaking the bank. Peruse your local Home Goods for copper-toned kitchen accents!  
Shop Faux Copper Pots

Copper can certainly be an intimidating trend but by introducing it in small doses it can add just the right amount of chic flair without being over powering!

Vicki and I sure did have a fun day exploring ABC Carpet & Home. It is an inspiration mecca for designers!
