While we are all spending more time at home, enjoying happy hour (which is every day in our house!) it is a perfect time to upgrade your bar game!  


I designed the bar in our home around a solid wood bar with brass butterfly joints and riveted trim.  Custom metal and brass shelves and cabinets house all of our vintage glassware and a vintage Cocktail sign that lights up was originally from a B-52s video!  

 

I love to use vintage and antique pieces in the store and my home- and have a set of old Swedish barstools from the 70s that I recovered with a midnight navy leather seen in the photo above.  For the store, we recently found a set of 3 Milo Baughman bar stools recovered in a deep emerald green velvet mohair and handles and foot cross bars wrapped with a camel leather reminiscent of the leather encased railings I had seen on a recent trip to Stockholm and fallen in love with!

 

6 of our must have pieces for your cocktail hour!

Jewel toned 1970s Ajka cut crystal whiskey glasses with a whimsical dot pattern.  Adorn your bar and serve up a refreshing G&T with these beauties.  

Champagne is my drink of choice and what better way to keep it chilled than in this vintage emerald green hand blown champagne bucket with clean modern lines and when it's not filled with Champagne fill it with your favorite blooms from the garden. 


And place that beautiful emerald green ice bucket on this chic Aldo Tura hand-dyed and lacquered goatskin bar trolly in a rich modeled green.  I can’t think of a better way to serve your guests. 

A set of 4 whimsical cocktail napkins embroidered in emerald green on fine white linen by Walker Valentine.  What a great way to ensure all your cocktail parties are filled with whimsy - it’s 5 o’clock somewhere!  Customize your very own set, email contact@foundbymaja for details.


Chic Romeo Rega bar cart with a linear design, 1970s. Two glass shelves on a chrome structure that is inlaid with a brass detail.  Filled with your best spirits, it's happy hour at home at any time of day.  


Gorgeous alone, or filled with your best whisky or scotch, this Orrefors of Sweden cut crystal decanter brings a bit of glamor to the art of cocktail mixing.
