Home For the Holidays: Decorating for the holidays with a great looking bar

Its that time of year again!  I like to start decorating my home soon after Thanksgiving so I can start to get into the holiday spirit.  A great place to star is the bar.

I'm a huge fan of bar carts. They always look pretty and elegant.  Here are a couple of my favorites.

If you don't happen to have a really pretty bar cart, don't worry, a bar on a table or dresser can look great.  Take a simple tray, some drinks glasses and some pretty bottles and voila you have a beautiful bar.

If you are renovating or doing an additon, a bar cabinet is a nice thing to design into your project.

Design Trend: Living Walls

We recently designed a therapy office to include a living wall.  This has become the hot new trend, and I am so excited about creating one.  I'm seeing these living walls everywhere; in the magazines, on the internet, and on the city streets.  I don't think this will be a short-lived fascination.  The benefits of plants both in our interiors and our urban landscapes are undeniable.

Hold on to summer as long as you can by creating a conservatory look in your home.
