A Booze Buffet!

1. I love a buffet. I'm from Indiana and we love our buffets!
2. What's better than a buffet? A booze buffet!
3. This buffet came from my local Restore for $75 buck-a-roos! 


                   This is what my buffet looked like at noon today....
                           By wine o'clock 5 o'clock it looked like this...

                   "Everyone needs a hobby, dear...Mine is cocktails."

I moved the mirror from my mantle- you can mix a drink while checking teeth and nose for strays.

                                                      And, Voila!

I make a mean mojito- come on over!

  4. I'll drink to that! It's been years since I've set up a bar in the living room. I think it's time to start a new "Hobby" lol!

    Lovely post.

  5. Am I visiting now? Because I believe a hot toddy would be in order--after all, you are from a Great Lakes State. Summer (which is when I usually turn up in the midwest)--gin and tonic. But wine is good ANYTIME! (Indiana wants you...Lawd you can't go back there.)

    1. My husband teases that when I visit IN, I come home with Indiana-isms! "Lawdy mercy, y'all!"

  6. I love to do all things fancy when having a glass of wine or a cocktail. A pretty set up like this, beautiful glassware, and cute garnishes. It makes it feel like an event just to have an evening cocktail. My husband and I were just talking about putting in a little corner bar in our living room, complete with a 1960's-esque pendant lamp hanging over it. We have the perfect spot for it and it will perfectly fit the age and style of our home. The only thing missing is the budget to make it happen.

    Happy drinking!

    2. We do have a Restore. We've given them stuff, but I've never shopped there. I have a hunch that we will be treasure hunting very soon.
