I am thrilled with my latest Target find! It's a beautiful mirrored tray that's totally glamorous!
It's very well made and has a very high-end look to it. What I love about this tray, is that you could use it for so many things - as a serving tray, to hold a pretty perfume bottle collection, or to organize papers on your desk.
With the holidays fast approaching, I thought it would be fun to turn mine into a holiday mini-bar. I like to have a bar set up when guests come over, but I'm never really sure exactly which bottles of this and that I should include. So, I decided to do some research on bar essentials over at Martha Stewart. Martha has a great list of must-have items and you can find it here. Some of the items I already had, but a few I still have to get. It will come as no surprise to you, that when picking bottles, I tend to go for the prettiest ones in my favorite colors! :-)
After choosing my bottles, I added some crystal glasses and a silver mercury glass filled with pink roses.
All set up...
The great thing about this "min-bar" is that it's compact and portable, so you can place it on top of any table or buffet...or simply carry it from room to room.
Happy Tuesday!
Jessica
LOVE this idea. My booze collection certainly needs some sprucing. Thanks for sharing this!

Wow! I love that! That tray is gorgeous! I saw it on flickr and had to come over! I would love to have a mini bar out all the time but I'm going to wait until there aren't a bunch of teenagers hanging out at my place. haha!
I'm giving away a $50 Target gift card. Actually Houzz.com is but you can get to it from my post from last Friday.

Oh, I've been obsessing over this tray for a year now. I just adore it. And even more, I adore what you've done with it!

Great idea for the tray Jessica. You make it llok so pretty too. Lovely pictures. You always do find the most delightful stores. That Fishs place looks delightful. Are they expensive? I have never been inside an ABC Carpet and Home. The one around here looks so dreary from the outside but you have encouraged me to take a look inside next time I go by there.

Oh I could think of so many perfect things to do with this lovely tray.
Your mini bar is perfect in every way. Have fun with it.
We don't have a TARGET in Canada... I used to live in the States and was always at Target on Thurs. I think that was there sale day...
Have a great weekend
Love Claudie

Did you see the pretty little "nightstand" piece they have that matches this ??? I was staring at it as it doesn't really match anything in my house but you could put your tray on it !!! Awesome catch for the holidays.

Hi Jessica,
I know it's a year on but I've been searching forever for this tray at Target. Does it have a manufacturers name on the underside?
Thanks, Zoe
