At Home with the Kings: Updating our Home Bar

Not sure why but as soon as I take down the holiday décor I have this incredible need to redecorate the house. I am always moving things around on the walls or furniture from room to room. This year one of the things that we worked on was updating our home bar.

If I listed the two most used areas of our house in 2020 it would have been the kitchen and our home bar. We love to have an cocktail in the evening and between pandemic schooling the kids and never leaving the house we made a lot of cocktails in 2020.

What I really wanted to change was the amount of things we were storing on the top of it. We were going for functional and not pretty so we had a lot of bottles on the bar for easy access. I cleaned out the cabinet and only kept one bottle of each alcohol on the tray and then added all of our glasses to the shelves.

Fully functional and fun! My favorite addition was using my Grandfather’s vintage suitcase as a bar caddy.

I kept one bottle of each alcohol and then we used the suitcase for tools and decanters.

What do you need to set up a bar?

This is an easy one. Start collecting one type of each alcohol. Start with something you like and then make a list.

  • Something sparkling

Extras:

  • Balloon Wine
  • Champagne Flutes or Coupes
  • Stemless Wine
  • Highball

  • Cocktail Books
  • Containers for fruit or garnishes

  • Coasters

What to Make?

Now that you have a bar set up what are you going to make? Here are a few of our favorite cocktail recipes…

    I love the use of the vintage suitcase with sentimental value. What a way to add character to a well-used space. And you’re right about the cocktail making in 2020…ha! Pretty sure that applies to this year too! Great post Tiffany…

About Me
I'm Tiffany. Although some of my favorite people call me Tippy. My favorite color is pattern. Seriously, I've never met a pattern I didn't like. My style is as bold as my personality and you should never trust my hair color. I am all about size inclusive style on a Nordstrom Sale budget.

Did you know Friday is for the Girls??? Last Frida Did you know Friday is for the Girls??? Last Friday @eauxkev and I hosted a ladies lunch with @pardosmandeville. It was epic!  So many times as women we feel like we have to be productive when taking a long lunch or time away from our kids so we opt for networking events.  While those are great and necessary this was such a great day of just focusing on being social and having fun. Can’t wait to do it again in October.
