That's the Spirit

Getting ready for that fabulous New Years Eve Party? Don’t worry, not everyone has a full-fledged permanent bar to open for guests. Have no fear; it’s easy to create a temporary drink station on any piece of furniture you already own. They don’t call it a cocktail table for nothing!

Use a piece of furniture you already own or the CASTER CONSOLE

CREATING A BAR “A designated spot for a bar area is the perfect solution to easy entertaining — not to mention that it will quickly become the intriguing focal point of any living room! We love bar carts, but a bar area can also be created on a bookshelf, mantle, or even a side table. The key is to mix a variety of stemware, glass decanters, and liquor bottles contained on trays of various sizes and shapes. Enliven the area with fresh flowers, personal trinkets, and candles. Don’t be afraid to mix and match your glassware — a bold set of glasses will brighten up any room!” (glitter guide)

Love the idea of putting your year in photos/invites over the bar...

Don't forget the kids (and pregnant friends)...

Going to a party rather than hosting? Get creative with your Hostess Gift. Forget the bottle of wine, which everyone is sure to bring. Give I.O. METRO's VINTAGE COCKTAILS coffee table book (available in-store only).
