Dorm Decor {Bar Cart}

I have the greatest roommate in the world. Though Katy and I have completely opposite personalities, when it comes to room decor, we could not be more in synch. The way that our room is set up this year is that we have a "split double" in an upperclassman dorm. Basically it means that we each have our own room and share a bathroom and closet in a hallway connecting the two. It's only been about a week, but the set up is awesome. More pictures to come!

Of course when bouncing off ideas, we both really wanted to build a bar cart for our room and I absolutely love the way it turned out. We got an inexpensive one from IKEA (thanks for the help Mr. Thompson!) and then spray painted the hardware gold. We store keys at the top, necklaces and wallets on the edge. The second shelf is "girly things" and the large bottom shelf is a snack pantry (I also love the nifty "secret" drawer).
