How to create a stylish bar area...

 I always take my first inspiration from Kelly Wearstler, of course. She is like the mother of all glam design. Her stuff is always my first point of reference and then I like to create a twist on it. A few things I'd like to take from here are the gold barstools, the dark grey, beautiful marble backsplash and eccentric gold accessories. 

I also love this bar area I did in my upper west side clients house. Its a more realistic way of approaching the gold, black, white and deep grey look. 

I'm really wanting to do this look in my new apartment so I'll be shopping for some bar cart essentials.
