An easy way to create a room that invites conversation and socialization is to add a well stocked bar cart. Check out some of our favorites here. Cheers!
An easy way to add a relaxed and inviting vibe to any space is to include a well stocked bar cart. A bar cart instantly creates a room that encourages conversation and socialization and it's a great way to add a pop of color and texture to that lonely corner of the room.
Check antique stores and consignment stores to collect some vintage decanters and fill them with colored water if you're not comfortable keeping alcohol on display. Add some fun glasses with a mixture of highballs, wine glasses and martini glasses, along with some great bar ware accessories and you're set. Here are a few of our faves!

JSI Raves: Barbie Kennedy Designs
Discover the beauty of custom water jet tile designs by Barbie Kennedy Designs. The beautiful blend of stone, metal, wood and mirror creates sophisticated textures and patterns for a variety of installations.
One of the vendors from the KBIS 2017 show in Orlando, Florida that I came home raving about was Barbie Kennedy Designs. Barbie Kennedy is the force behind the custom water jet company that creates beautiful designs using multiple materials including natural wood, metal, mirror and stone.
The company showcases the works of two designers, Barbie Kennedy and Marc Thee. Barbie is responsible for the Heritage collection and her inspiration comes from her families love and passion for life. Each pattern is named for one of her ancestors and each honors the influence they had on shaping the person she is today. With mixing wood, metal, mirror and stone these water jet designs represent the traditions that have been developed in family homes for centuries. Inspired by shapes and patterns, this collection brings to life Barbie’s vision that every home should have artful surfaces.
Interior designer, Marc Thee, created The Essence collection to be flexible in color, scale and style to appeal to interior designers, builders and home owners alike. The patterns work for small-scale projects such as backsplashes or fireplaces and large-scale patterns that can be used over an entire wall or floor. Many of the designs work in wet environments and even exterior applications.
All of their designs can be completely customized with a variety of sizes, scale of pattern, mix of materials and colors. They will also work with you to create your very own design for your project. The possibilities are endless!
The blend of textures is absolutely incredible and so sophisticated. Visit them online to see more of their patterns and images of some really great installations - www.barbiekennedydesigns.com

JSI Faves: Mirrors
Jennifer Stoner Interiors showcases some of our favorite mirrors. We love to include unique mirrors to break up the monotony of artwork in a room. It's a great way to add a different texture and bounce natural light around a room. Consider adding one of these to your space!
Here's a few of our favorite mirrors that we're liking right now. You don't want to fill every wall with artwork or pics of your family, so a mirror is sometimes a nice way to add something different. Place one across from a window and watch how it helps to bring light into the room.
