Vintage Silver and Crystal


My sweet hubby lives in a very feminine little cottage.
Lots of flowers and lots of pillows.
So ...



He has an area that is a bit more masculine ...
The Bar.
Vintage crystal decanters, an antique silver tray, deep
Balmoral red from Ralph Lauren on the walls
above the wainscoting.



When it's time for the cocktail hour, he is ready to fill the
vintage ice bucket and ask you ...
What's your pleasure??

I am joining

Bentley ~ would you like your Daddy to put an ice cube in
your water dish?? What's that? You want a vintage
silver dog bowl now???

Love,
Susan and Bentley

  1. I love David's bar area! How 'bout you and me meet up at RL by the fireplace, for a cocktail and some girl talk. If they are full, we can head over to The Palmer House, for one of their great Cosmo's in the that beautiful lobby.
    Yes, Bentley, The Palmer House is "pet friendly."

  3. Beautiful bar. Each detail is perfection, just as a table top bar should be.

  5. At least he has good taste in what he likes. When he drinks anything he does it in style.

  8. I'm not much of a drinker, but these kind of set ups always look so romantic and sophisticated to me. I love the idea of just pouring a drink on the rocks, but I don't think I'd ever be able to drink it. LOL

    That looks like a nice spot for your dear husband. Just gorgeous!

  10. That is so cute. My hubby has a bar in the Florida room and I have controlled myself and let him do "whatever" out there. He found a fridge, glasses etc and it's where we all go when anyone comes over. He did good just like your hubby.

  15. I love silver and crystal and the red sounds fabulous!
    Bentley you definitely deserve a silver dish and perhaps a crystal dish as well for weekday use, hmmm?
    Have a great day Susan and Bentley!

  16. Oh, Susan what beautiful shots. I had to laugh, when you asked Bentley if he wanted an ice cube. One of my dachshunds, Bailey will fish them out of the water and wants to play hockey on the kitchen floor, it is too funny. I loved your post today!! Happy VTT!
