I love drink trolleys, bar carts, I have four. The art deco ones go for about $100, but mine cost under $10 each, I have two wooden ones, a chrome and glass like the above but I did not have to take out any nasty woodgrain. I do have one that does have the wood grain though, plus I have just purchased a 50s display cabinet in the same nasty wood veneer but also lots of mirror and glass. To be honest, I do not like all these crazy patterns I’m seeing here in before and after, I wonder how it fits in with the rest of the decor. I am looking to use a black gloss of some kind to match the chrome and glass more to the art deco era. I’m decorating a 1955 beach cottage long term rental that holds my vintage comic icon collection,. it’s been fun. I’ll have to show some b and a photos soon.

Everybody seems to have a surplus of this Orla Kiley wallpaper and Anthropologie doesn’t sell it anymore. I love seeing how everybody is using it… but it makes me sad, too.

It’s as if the fabric was made for that chair. What a fabulous & inexpensive upgrade!
