Christmas Bar Cart: Creating Peace with Simple Joys

This 12 months is our second Christmas season with our bar cart! I’m nonetheless so pleased with this “practical adorning” resolution. It’s been so easy to model plus it’s a helpful piece for serving and day by day storage, too. I really like items like this that carry peace and sweetness to our residence in each season.

More often than not I simply hold practical serving items on it that double as decor, equivalent to a stack of fairly linen napkins, our wooden salad tongs, a couple of serving plates or bowls, chargers and a few form of seasonal contact.

The opposite day it felt notably darkish out in the midst of the afternoon so I introduced down one of many rechargeable lamps from our reward wrap closet. I had by no means thought-about a lamp right here earlier than but it surely’s made it really feel additional cozy and so peaceable. Rechargeable lamps or bulbs are good for spots like this that don’t have any accessible shops (or if you happen to don’t need to string a twine from outlet to fixture).

For Christmas I positioned one among our small bushes to our kitchen crock. I tied a small velvet ribbon on the lamp and a small wreath round it.

Easy joys.
