This DIY has been a long time coming. I have had a bit of a bar cart fetish for several years now but, until a few months ago, had never owned one. That all changed when my husband and I downsized from our large two-bedroom apartment to our comparatively cozy one-bed (*background on our surprise move can be found at the end of this post). Prior to our move, we did some serious house cleaning and ultimately donated about 40% of our belongings, including our big, awesome bar cabinet that previously served as our drink station.
As anyone who has ever moved can attest, there are a lot of surprise expenses that pop up during that singularly stressful period. Our move was no different and we found that we were in no position to purchase a fancy new bar cart to fit into our new space. We wracked our brains about what to do with our ever-expanding liquor selection until I finally decided to tackle the problem head on by transforming an inexpensive IKEA piece into the marble and gold bar cart of my dreams. Today’s tutorial outlines how you can create your own IKEA Sunnersta DIY bar cart at an affordable price point.

Today is a day I have been waiting on for quite a while now. The time has finally come for my husband and I to share our latest travel vlog with all of you and we can’t wait for you to see it! Unlike our last trip to London when we faced all manner of dreadful weather, this time around we were graced with bright and sunny skies, allowing for a very different looking recap of our trip. Our summer 2017 London travel vlog is full of gorgeous architecture, dreamy sunsets and very happy memories. I hope you all enjoy it as much as my husband and I do!
My husband and I returned from our September trip to London more in love with the beautiful city than ever. As the two of us worked together to prepare our London summer travel vlog over the last few weeks, I found myself missing the city something fierce. This London home tour is therefore coming at the perfect time. I might not be able to make a trip over to my favorite city in the next few months, but I can reminisce and live vicariously through this stunning London flat.
When I took my break from blogging, one of the aspects that I found I missed the most was making and sharing my monthly Music Mondays playlists. Over the last two years, my playlists have served as soundtracks to each individual month that passed and quickly became an integral part of my life. The Summer of 2017 therefore ended up sounding like…silence. It was clearly time for a change. In case you couldn’t already guess, the excitement I’m feeling this morning in sharing my October 2017 playlist in unparalleled!
