Whether it’s bar cart styling designer tips or suggested bar carts to add to your holiday wish list, we (and everyone else) have had bar carts on the brain.  Since we really can’t get enough of the trend (or perpetually really need a cocktail), we decided to recreate a living room look by none other than the Bar Car Queen herself– Roxy Te Owens!

Roxy is the founder and proprietor of the incredibly stylish, successful and anything but boring shop, Society Social.  From super saturated tufted sofas to bold graphic pillows and funky vintage accessories, they’ve got you covered.  Roxy has been profiled numerous times in many of my favorite blogs including The Everygirl, Meg Biram, and A Piece of Toast.  And if you’ve gotten to know Roxy at all via her awesome blog, you wont be surprised at all to see that her line is infused with a delightful abundance of spirit, spunk, and general cheekiness.  She has injected such a joie de vivre into her company– every item at Society Social seems to bubble over with excitement!  I’m excited even talking about it– their product shoots are like candy.  I mean just LOOK…

I feel as though you could start with almost any room and the addition of one or many Society Social items would pump up the fun.  Thanks to a fantastic HGTV profile from some time ago, we’re able to get a full look at her happy chic living space…

Do you love it?  We can’t get enough.  Every time we look it over we discover something new to smile about.  How can you recreate this look in your own home?  A great many of the items were/are available at Society Social— yet many have since sold out or were purchased elsewhere.  Don’t worry– we’ve got your back.  Get Roxy Te Owen’s happy-go-lucky living room look here….

While we linked to a different variation of Society Social’s Quinn Sofa, Roxy’s exact version (black piping and all) is available via custom upholstery order on her website.

We are also seriously obsessed with the “Every Day I’m Hustling” pillow by Michelle Dwight Designs.  You can see how obsessed we are with these funky little pillow covers on our team page (major thank you to Andrea at Michelle Dwight for making this happen!).  The design goodness doesn’t stop there…check out the whole selection at their online shop!  I’m no Sherlock, but I get the sense that Roxy loves them, too.  She even sells them at Society Social!

Wouldn’t the JAM book look nice on your coffee table?  Good luck!
