When it comes to bar carts, nobody does it better than Society Social. If you’re not familiar with Society Social, the company started in 2011 with a small collection of stylish bar carts and their products immediately grabbed the attention of magazines like House Beautiful, Southern Living, Lonny and HGTV, The business exploded after that and today, the Society Social online boutique sells a range of furniture and decor all with a chic, modern flair and style.
One of the really great things about Society Social is that all of their designs are created by their in-house design team so every piece is original to their business and you won’t find them anywhere else. And as a truly custom touch, every single piece is made or finished to order.
Not only are each and every one of the Society Social bar carts stunning, but I love the way they style their pieces for photo shoots and their blog, The Social Diary.

I adore every one of these bar carts but especially the blue and gold. I am on the hunt at estate sales for the perfect bar cart for my daughter’s apartment. Must be the right price, though, Wish me luck.
