The 21 Best Home Bars For All The Drinks – Part 2
Creating a home bar is a delightful way to add personality and entertainment value to your space. Whether you’re an avid mixologist or just enjoy the occasional cocktail, having a dedicated area for your beverages can elevate your home’s style and function.

The 21 Best Home Bars For All The Drinks – Part 1
I’ve always thought that everyone should have a bar in their home. Whether that’s a bar cart, a bar nook, a full on bar with stools, or just a bar set up on or in any piece of furniture. As a child we had a full-on bar in our living room in Connecticut. There was barn wood on the face of the bar and we would go behind it and pretend we were serving people. We did our homework there and we had snacks there. In my teenage years, my parents had a wet bar nook in the living room. So, seeing this in my childhood, I just always thought that’s what adults were supposed to have. I also had parents that taught me that alcohol should be used in moderation, which is a great lesson.

Many of these I’ve been to before or I’ve heard about them from friends so I highly recommend any of these or all of them if you love vintage, unique foods and music.

There have been so many people on social media watching the Olympics, doing the routines and movements and I can safely say that we are all in.
Checkerboard is Definitely Still Trending in 2024
Checkerboard is still trending in 2024, even though naysayers keep being naysayers. Designers, including me, think that it’s a classic pattern that will certainly ebb and flow in and out of favor. But for now, it’s hot and really exciting. It’s being used in different applications like homeware, ceramic tiles and in artwork so I don’t see it going away in the foreseeable future.
