bars and lucite trays

We're looking to add a little bar area to our dining room. We'll move our wine rack to the other corner, and find something to put in its place. 

Unfortunately, we don't have room for something like this:

So I've been searching for something else that might work and found these:

Yes, they are all made for the bathroom, but I think they could work quite well to hold our liquor, carafes and wine glasses and they're small enough to fit into our dining area. 

I'm sort of going for something like this:

 I also love lucite trays, and want one for this area.

summer

There are a lot of amazing 4th of July sales out there right now, and you know I love a sale! When I cleaned out my closet last winter I got rid of a ton of my clothes, but now I'm left with very little for summer. I also realized that my wardrobe is in some serious need of color!

I am happy to announce that we're married, and I have officially unsubscribed from every wedding e-mail, newsletter, and blog, and deleted every wedding file off of our computer. It feels so good! 

Now, on to better things... like having the time to finally decorate our apartment.

We need a switch from my super girly bedding, which we're moving into the guest bedroom, so I just got this for our bed.

All we need to finally complete our room is a headboard and new nightstands.

The above nightstand in from Target, and I'm thinking about painting it cobalt blue, saving $220 a piece from this Crate and Barrel version.

I also sort of love these from Urban. They remind me of the mirrored nightstands that I love, and Charlie not so much. Maybe this could be a compromise?
