Chocolate Trifle.

 I don't make treats very often (because I end up eating more than my fair share) 

but when I do...this is one of my fav's:

Trifles are so easy.

In fact, you can really add anything you like and the result is yum!

Enjoy!

Projector stand to drink cart.

 Bar carts have come back in vogue and they scream "chic".

Kind of odd that I admire them since I don't drink.

Via Everything Fab.

Via House of Turquoise.

Via Habitually Chic.

Last week we hosted my son's first birthday so I thought, why not make my own (non-alcoholic) bar cart using my old audio visual cart that I picked up at a school auction?

(Actually, I have several of these a/v carts that I use for everything from nightstands to end tables all over my house).  Admittedly, I have a little problem that when I find something I like I sort of hoard them up.

 So here's ONE of the carts that I decided to transform.

Gave it a coat of spray primer in a can.

 Then a coat of Rustoleum's bright yellow spray paint.

I found this lovely wrapping paper (another thing I collect hoard) at 

World Market that I thought would make a pretty base.

 Of course it wouldn't lay flat so I had a two pieces of plexi-glass cut at Ace Hardware for under $10. each.
I almost opted to have mirrors cut for a really chic look but since this was a kid's b-day I was afraid of the broken aftermath.

 Viola, paper lays flat and is also protected from any accidents or spills.  

Plus, I can change out the paper in the future.

Then I loaded it up with all sorts of fun sodas, seltzers, fancy-schmancy waters, juices and treats.

Make mine a double!

BTW, today is the last day to enter our giveaway for a piece by Jesse Miller.
