Interior designer Justina Blakeney has grown something of a cult following since she burst onto the scene back in 2009 with the founding of Jungalow. In the years following, Blakeney's blog became a lifestyle brand. This week, the Jungalow founder announced that she has officially teamed up with retail giant Target for a new home line called Opalhouse.

"I believe that good design increases the quality of life," said Blakeney, as she revealed the good news to her 502 thousand instagram followers. "This is an incredible milestone for me and my team, and working with Target to bring to life these nearly 300 pieces was truly a pleasure, an honor and just really, really fun."

The distinct boho flair for which Jungalow has gained so much fanfare is present throughout the Opalhouse home line. The first iteration of the Opalhouse Collection includes bedding, furniture, wall decor, bath products, wallpaper and more.

According to Blakeney, her debut collection with Target will be available at most store locations as of June 13th and on June 26th on Target.com.

The video app, Tik Tok, swept the nation last year when everyone was on lockdown with nothing else to do. This app is an evolution of the Musical.ly app, that allowed users to create lipsync videos, and has now become Tik Tok, a 60-second video platform with endless creative possibilities. The app is reminiscent of the defunct app Vine which ended in early 2017 and was known for short videos that creators used mostly for comedy sketches. This app gave a lot of young influencers fame and most made their way to Youtube from the app. Now, Tik Tok has taken the Vine idea even further and created a space for all types of creators whether that be in comedy, horror, books, or even design. 

Design Tok is the name for the corner of Tik Tok all about interior design. Users can utilize hashtags such as #designtok, #interiordesign, #designers, to have their content featured on that part of the app. It is here that creators show all different sides of the design world. The creators range from someone with good taste simply showing off their house, to professional designers who share their tips and tricks with users.

In the design niche, there is much informative content. There are DIY tips, thrifting projects, advice on how to create a classier environment, guides on how to describe your personal design style, as well as information on what design trends they think need to end. These design tok-ers have built their own followings on the app as well as amassed influencer-type fame. 

Whether design is your passion or just a hobby, there’s a place on Design Tok for you. So next time you’re searching for inspiration, give Tik Tok a try, as it may give you new and unique ideas!

Each Thanksgiving holiday seems to anticipate the utilizing of rustic-styled trends from prior years. However, if you can't stand the thought of another year of plastic cornucopias; Thanksgiving-related color palettes (orange and gold); rustic table settings; seasonal gourds, vegetables and fruits; there's good news: Thanksgiving decorations can actually be chic and stylish.

This year, take your Thanksgiving celebration to the next level with these home décor tips that will enhance the festivities in your home while maximizing your home's elegance.

Warm Lighting and Fresh Flowers

A combination of fresh flowers and warm lighting is the key for a perfect Thanksgiving celebration. Such details always say so much - about you, your home and your desire to welcome your family and friends.

Make sure to use natural elements at your Thanksgiving table: wood accents, sleek white ceramics, add to the beauty of your holiday table and home décor.

A Chic, Minimalistic Holiday Table

Table décor that's bare and minimalistic creates a chic and classy look in any home. In most households, Thanksgiving is basically about maximizing — the bigger and crispier the turkey, the better; the more seasoning in the stuffing, the better; the larger the pecan pie, the better; the stretchier our pants, the better. It’s go big and stay home time.

So, why not change things up this year? Minimalist decor is just what this year's holiday table needs to balance out the grandiosity of everything else. This Thanksgiving, let the tasty food be the centerpiece by setting a chic, modern table.

 A Pop of Color

Opt for a glam Thanksgiving this year by invoking a refined elegance and a sleek calm, burnt-orange color. Shades of tangerine, marigold and lime green refresh the time-honored Thanksgiving color palette of orange, yellow and burgundy. Tangerine combos definitely set the perfect scene for an indulgent, glamorous holiday.

Out-of-the-Box Centerpieces

Short on time? An array of pumpkin spice candles on your Thanksgiving table can transform the table in seconds.

Replace those large floral centerpieces and cornucopias with some modern options: potted succulents and fresh herbs. Plants add a vibrant green color, various textures and pleasant odors to a room; fresh herb plants combine the senses of sight, smell and taste into one brilliant sensory experience.

 Warmth With Wood Accents

Wood accents effortlessly create a lush setting. The most elegant juxtaposition is created amongst wood, vintage china and crystal glassware.

How about using some personalized place cards or miniature flower arrangements on each of your guest's plates to celebrate this season of giving and thanks before anyone even lifts a utensil?

 Copper Instead of Gold

Copper also offers a new spin on the traditional Thanksgiving color scheme, offering a sleek sophistication. Use copper vases to house vibrant flowers or fresh herbs. Perhaps, spray paint some mini-ceramic pumpkins copper instead of gold?

It's no secret that Ellen -America's beloved talk show host- is also a serial home renovator/buyer of residential real estate. Over the past decade, Ellen has amassed nothing short of a real estate empire and she continues to buy and sell luxury California properties, sometimes living in multiple houses per year, and making signifiant profits from renovating each of them. In describing her real estate adventures, Ellen emphasizes that her real estate gains are a result of her sheer enjoyment, any profit merely a by-product of her joy. "We buy a house and we love it, and we stay in it," said DeGeneres. "Then we get a little bored because we like a different style or different aesthetic — and I love furniture and decorating — so if I find something else, and we make money, why not move to another house?" Surely, words to buy by.

It appears there's nothing left for DeGeneres to do except shine some light on those home decor items that she personally prefers. And so, DeGeneres finally has. The television host has expanded her home collection brand to include lighting fixtures. “If you've ever stubbed your toe in the middle of the night, you know how important lighting is,” teases DeGeneres, whose eye for interior design seamlessly rivals her comedic wit. DeGeneres further elaborates, “Think of the rugs as peanut butter and the lighting as jelly—and then me as the bread, I guess.”

Hungry to get a taste of DeGeneres' new lighting collection? If so, keep reading and gobble up the new ED lighting collection -as well as some of last season's house items, made category-specific for you to easily choose what is most pleasing to you.

Lighting

Some light fixtures are Mid-century modern designs, with starburst silhouettes or Stilnovo-style shades. Others tend toward the rustic—like those simple linen shades—or the industrial, with galvanized pendants.

These lighting designs included in the ED Ellen DeGeneres Home Collection are the highly desirable items for 2019. “You can have a beautifully decorated room, but if it isn’t lit well with great fixtures, it can go totally unappreciated,” said DeGeneres.

 Bath

DeGeneres also has other home decor items that range from playful bath paraphernalia, to fluffy pillows, to geometric flat weaved rugs to the most adorable bed sheets. Light-hearted fun and playfulness are DeGeneres' starting design points.

Tabletop

DeGeneres' tabletop consists only of love. Accompanied by some fashionable blue and white plates upon which to serve culinary creations to loved ones.

Table Linens

DeGeneres' daily message -Be kind to one another- has been seamlessly incorporated into her home interior decor.

Rugs

It's time to take a magical carpet ride with DeGeneres. Without leaving the comforts of your home.

Bedding

DeGeneres' bedsheets, throws and blankets provide a warmth for you to wrap yourself up in.

Pillows & Throws

Simple, classic plus contemporary creates that Ellen Factor.

Kitchen

In the kitchen, you're able to share recipes that bring family and friends closer together, strengthening a bond that goes beyond any kitchen space.

Love. Happiness. Kindness. The DeGeneres design trifecta that guarantees a successful life, from the outside in.

The ED Ellen DeGeneres Home Collection is the interior home collection that brings Ellen home to you -in EDTV style- even when your television is turned off. The next time that you watch The Ellen DeGeneres Show, do so in EDTV: sitting on your oversized couch with ED's love pillows, using ED's all-white kitchenware to hold your chips and salsa. You can easily double dip. You'll surely be smiling and it won't be because of DeGeneres' jokes. The reasons will be your ED home decor selections that serve to bring effervescent playfulness, love, joy and luxury home to you.

Blake Lively

Blake Lively has compiled inspiration books full of pictures, color swatches and fabric memos since she was a teenager. Just like a pro, she uses her mood boards as a starting point for her own designs.

I design my friends homes. For free. Of all the bad decisions I’ve made, this may be the most fun... Thank you to my daughters for unknowingly loaning me your clothes for “fabric” inspo, thank you @dmitriyco for the stencils that are way too fun it’s not normal, thank you bathroom for having a lose tile that I could steal for more “fabric” inspo, and thank you mom for the sleeping disorder that keeps me up all night. ?? ??‍???

A post shared by Blake Lively (@blakelively) on Apr 13, 2018 at 10:26pm PDT

After designing her own homes for years, Blake is now getting interior design requests from friends. She loves home decor so much that she doesn't even charge for her services–yet.

Blake used to publish a blog called Preserve that focused on helping people discover the work of local artisans. The blog is no more, but Blake is still spreading the word about the makers she admires, like Dimitriy & Co furniture.

Lauren Conrad

Lauren Conrad left life as an American television personality to become a purveyor of all things lovely and chic.

Her blog and VIP newsletter offers everything from hairstyle trends to drink recipes, but she has also launched a successful home decor line for Kohl's and performed room makeovers on behalf of Pottery Barn.

Lauren has been called "the Martha Stewart for millennials" and it all starts with her own personally-styled home in Pacific Palisades, California.

Cindy Crawford

After retiring as one of the world's most recognizable supermodels, Cindy Crawford got into furniture design in 2005. She has evolved that interest over the years into a philosophy on how to design a home the right way. "I don’t like it when people buy a midcentury house and then try to change it, or buy a Tudor and try to make it modern,” she said in an interview with Elle Decor last year.

Twitter @Silestone

In addition to making things look chic, Cindy offers tips on decorating for all the senses by imagining how someone might experience a home's smells or the feel of certain fabrics.

A mother herself, she learned to use outdoor fabrics whenever possible to ward off messes left by little ones or pets.

Proving that good design is also practical, Cindy suggests designing kitchens that not only look amazing but are also easy to clean.

She tries not to get so caught up in aesthetics that lifestyle doesn't get considered. Having a comfortable place to read or watch a favorite program is an important part of designing a home that's comfortable to live in.

Diane Keaton

Diane Keaton used to own a Frank Lloyd Wright home in L.A. In 2011, she launched a table-top line for Bed Bath and Beyond. Her love of design has culminated in the publishing of three home design coffee table books.

Her latest, The House That Pinterest Built, is described as "a style guide, an inspirational tome, and a how-to volume on creating one’s home."

Diane started publishing design books because she wanted to celebrate the inspiration people get from seeing the design eye of others, "billions of people discover, seize and enlarge their reference pool with the variety of beauty allocated from others," she says in the book's introduction.

Amongst the plethora of famous faces hawking their goods at a mall near you are the following:

Ellen DeGeneres

Comedienne and dedicated house flipper, Ellen has furniture, rugs, tableware and more and will presumably use them to stage her homes. In a partnership with Thomasville, Loloi and Royal Doulton respectively, DeGeneres opts for sophisticated designs, which focus on earth tones and textures.

“I’ve loved home design for as long as I can remember,” the entertainer told Elle Decor. “I know what I like, so designing it made sense for me.”

Joanna Gaines

Okay, so this isn’t exactly a stretch. The photogenic half of Fixer Upper is bound to have her own line of home goods. These include wallpaper, paint and rugs available at Pier 1. In addition she has a huge destination retain store, Magnolia Market in Waco, Texas.

Tracee Ellis Ross

The Black-ish star has a clothing line available at JC Penny with a few home accessories thrown in — such as throw pillows, dessert dishes and high ball glasses.

Catherine Zeta Jones

Linking up with QVC, the Welsh actress has a line of bedding, bath towels, tables and rugs called Casa Zeta Jones.

Justin Timberlake

Singer, musician and actor, Timberlake curated home decor line with mydomaine.com editor-in-chief, Estee Stanley. “I like very clean, almost modern architecture, and the obstacle with something like that is making it extremely warm, because it doesn’t naturally lend itself to that,” Timberlake said in an interview with Stanley and Elle Decor.

Added Timberlake: “With everything we do together, we try to get the juxtaposition right. To make pieces and rooms that are multifaceted, that blend different genres of architecture and design.”

Mandy Moore

The actress has a collection of art prints monogrammed glasses, throw blankets and other decor items for Shutterfly.

Lenny Kravitiz

The bohemian rocker/actor has always been known for his ’70s-inspired music and fashion. His interior designs echo these tastes. Don’t think pure hippy style though, think upscale penthouses and Studio 54 glamour, too. In a collaboration with Crate and Barrell’s CB2, dubbed CB x Kravitz Design, the range includes tables, chairs, lamps, rugs, pillows and more. It’s inspired by the singer's many travels with prices that are anything but retro.

Kravitiz also has his own interior design firm, and has added his eclectic flair to many well-known hotels and condo complexes.

Reese Witherspoon

It seems Reese Witherspoon is everywhere these days, acting, heading up an Oprah style book club, producing movies and designing clothes. It’s the latter, which has also spawned her foray into home accessories that includes tableware, candles, blankets and more.

Brad Pitt

A long time lover of architecture, the actor formed the Make It Right organization to help rebuild New Orleans housing after Hurricane Katrina. Now he’s teamed up with furniture maker Pollaro to introduce a line, which includes seating, tables, a marble bathtub and a bed.

Eva Longoria

Tapping into the Latin market, JC Penny has a bedding and bath collection with the actress.

Drew Barrymore

You guessed it —  pillows, shower curtains and artwork are featured in her collection with Shutterfly.

Just recently, though, an opportunity emerged for Gunn to espouse home decor professionally. He teamed up with Command Brand, the maker of the adhesive picture-hanging strips, to translate his fashion aptitude to interior-design advice with a series of wall-decorating projects that require no nails. Last week, Gunn, Command and Gilt hosted the “From the Runway to the Hallway” pop-up shop, where fashion, art and decor intuitively coalesced.

Haute Residence caught up with Gunn to learn more about his partnership with Command, his appreciation for the arts and his decor tenets.

How did your partnership with Command Brand come to be?

I am approached by brands with some frequency. I am very, very, very particular about the decisions I make about which brands I would even want to work with. As a wonderful happenstance, I am a huge Command fan and I have used it forever. So, when they approached me, I said, "Good Heaven, you are all over my apartment. I would love to have a conversation about what we can do together."

I find that decision-making about interiors and decision-making about fashion have so many correlations. People are really afraid that they get paralyzed by the decisions they have to make and they do not know what to do. With Command, because it does not have to be a permanent place, you can move things around, you are not making that commitment that a nail in the wall makes. It means that you can play, you can try it as opposed to, "Oh, I am making a lifetime commitment to this particular painting or drawing or photograph being on this particular wall." Command is just completely and utterly liberating. It is interesting - as I first began to use them, it was about, "Well, let me experiment. Let me try." But then, because they are so long-lasting, there is no reason to take the Command strips down and put a nail. It is quite fantastic. I am involved because I am a huge fan of the product.

Is this your first venture into home decor?

Yes, absolutely. I have to say, in my heart, if I were not in fashion, I would be in interiors. I think in particular living in New York, our home environment is so important to us because it is our safe haven that it is accentuated, I think, even more here. So, we really care about coming home and feeling that we are in a place that we love.

Living in New York can often mean a compromise in square feet. How can interior design make the best of the available space?

I believe that decorating our homes follows the same principles that are important in getting our fashion right. It is not about the particulars of what you have. It is about the relationships among them. I say it is about silhouette, proportion and fit. With homes, scale is very important. I do not mean that you live in a tiny apartment that everything should be of a small scale but you need to look into the relationships among those objects. I always say, do not go to a store and buy a whole apartment full of furniture there and have it delivered to you. Start with one or two pieces and then let it grow. Feel the space. Think about what proportionately and also practically you need and want, and what will fit.

I believe that decorating our walls gives us another dimension to the living space but until the furniture is places, it is not a very good idea to do that because of the proportional relationships. That goes back to the fantastic partner we all have in Command, because it does give us that freedom of latitude and that agility and ability to make changes quickly and with no damage.

When it comes to art on the walls, what artists do you admire? Are there any contemporary ones you follow?

I studied art in the 1970s and art history. So, a lot of my personal taste is more into that. I would not say I am a huge fan of a lot of contemporary art that is happening right now, but Richard Diebenkorn, Josef Albers – they are so many artists of the 20th century whose work I truly love. In terms of my home, I am more of a classicist and most of what I have is more traditional. They are just images I like living with – a lot of portraits that are 18th- and 19th-century but very affordable. I care about things that have a history and a story.

Photo credit: Michael Simon, StarTraks

What is your favorite piece of art?

My only trouble is that I have so many. If someone was to say, "Your apartment is on fire, you can only take one thing with you," I think I would rather stay and get burnt. I do not think I can run out with just one thing.

What trends in terms of decor and fashion you see converging and shaping up for the upcoming summer season?

We have four trends – and they are trends in fashion and trends in interiors as well. Stripes are big; glitter, glamour, shiny surfaces are very, very big. As are also surfaces that are textured. We are calling them trends, but they all have staying power. These are not things that are only relevant today. I am happy that they are prevalent but they will be with us forever. So, depending on your taste and point of view, there is something there for you.

As the holiday season gets closer and closer, we here at Haute Residence are ready to answer the eternal doom that is buying things for others during the holidays. This annual task, while daunting for some, is a great way to answer the questions that are potentially most important to others lives. For our gift guide coverage, we’ve broken it down room by room in your house. Check back for updates on everything you'll be craving this holiday season.

For the Ensuite Bathroom: Ultimate Microcotton Bath Towels ($68)

These fluffy towels mean business. Typically, towel shopping is a mixed bag, either the things are course and soak up everything instantly, sham-wow style, or they’re like fluffy blankets that leave you dripping for hours. These towels though, soak up everything instantly, without leaving burn marks from that rigorous head shake thing we all do.

BUY NOW

For The Bedroom: Rowenta Aqua Perfect Humidifier ($140)

It’s cold out, which means the cold air is dry, and most apartments and homes turn the heat on, which makes the air even drier. For everyone not a fan of waiting up with cottonmouth or itchy noses, a humidifier is a must. Put some life back into the air you breathe with this thing. It holds a ton of water, about one and a half gallons, and releases steam at a output capacity of up to 2.8 gallons. The humnidifier adjusts automatically and for whatever the need is for any home, that covers about 650 square feet. That makes it perfect for the living room while the fire roars, or for the kids’ new dorm room at school.

BUY NOW

For The Closet: Rowenta Steam ‘N Press ($30)

This little guy packs a big punch. After traveling, running around, or just another day at the office, this steam machine is the perfect iron to get a suit, dress, or any garment in right shape without having to go to the dry cleaner yet again. Because of its size, its also perfectly packable in case the hotel doesn’t have that suit press machine or for the quick touch ups at the office between meetings.

BUY NOW

For The Bedroom: Nectar's King Mattress ($900)

This is the ultimate mattress for any home with its long staple fibers that remove for a cooler sleep, quilted gel memory foam to customize to anyone's sleeping position (We're looking at you, starfishers) and mutiple layers of core memory foam to react on every level. Most importantly, there is a year-long trial period for risk-free performance.

BUY NOW

For The Home Office: The X4 by X-Chair ($1,150)

In a design that feels closer to the Eames Chair you always wanted for the living room, this upscale office chair is the perfect balance of everything you need while working: a comfortable upright setting to hunker down in, a steady recline for when you need a minute, and a polished, classic look in tan leather, for when you're OOO.

BUY NOW

For The Guest Room: Nest Comforter ($300)

While personal bedroom bedding is more important, what's equally important is not to slouch on the bedding for the guestroom. This is the projection you'll be giving to others when they stay in your home. Do you want them leaving thinking, "Wow, so-and-so's house sure was lovely!" on the way home? Or do you want them thinking "God, that bed was so uncomfortable, I need to go get some real sleep at my home." I think we both know the answer. This bedding is the answer with a soft, plush feeling to keep anyone tucked in at night, and washable so the bed can be just as nice for the next guest.

For Everywhere In The House: Good Candles

Candles can be tricky. With scented candles being such a great accents to coffee tables, shelves, mantles, really anywhere, finding the right candle can become more work than you imagines. We've made it simple by boiling down candles that are long lasting, smell great, and look just as good in a home lit or not.

From Left To Right:

Baxter Of California, White Wood, ($55): This brand of grooming products knows how to make men smell great with their line of pomades, shave products, colognes, and more. It makes perfect sense that they would make a candle that smelled perfect for any man's home.

Arbonne, Spiced Vanilla Chai, ($40): This artisan candle, made with a coconut wax combines sweet cinnamon, baked vanilla, and spicy chai aromas. It smells like the holiday season, without the mess of baking cookies in the kitchen. (Warning: will make you want cookies.)

Tom Dixon, Eclectic London, ($75): British designer Tom Dixon is a master of many tabletop pieces, but these candles from his Eclectic London collection are for sure our favorites. They have a rich sweet ash smell that has a perfect blend of manly muskiness with a sweet aroma that's perfect for anyone's palate.

Diptyque, Fiery Orange, ($70): As part of their limited edition collection with Phillipe Baudelocque, this candle is a chic, modern take with bright red/orange wax that illuminates any environment. It's the perfect gift for someone looking to get away from the glass jar look of so many other candle options.

Clarins, Tonic, ($73): This three-wick candle lights up any room and burns that much longer with its wider base. Because of the multiple wicks, the wax burns evenly through the candle and fills any room with a refreshing, light scent of tonic.

Saje, Winter Warmth, ($20): This angular, polygon shaped candle is perfect for the design-minded home with its sleek edges, stone material, and warming scented smell. It perfectly balances minimalism, design, and a cozy feeling of home.

This mattress has the plush feeling of a warm hug, like tea on a rainy day, like not remembering if you need milk when you’re at the supermarket, and getting home to find just enough left. It’s so restorative and calming after a long day, there’s a chance it’ll do your taxes if you asked it to.

Yes, the DreamCloud has a lot of science behind it. Plenty of mattresses offer a bullet-pointed list on the tag of the tech that goes into sleeping. It would be simple to talk about the DreamCloud’s gel-infused memory foam, or patent-pending  “best rest” coils. That’s not what makes it the best mattress though. This is a mattress built for luxury lifestyle. From the cashmere top, to the tufted pillow-like upper layer, it’s a mattress that lives by and for those who prioritize comfort. 

Unlike most mattresses though, it’s a cost effective price for the level of luxury. Ranging from $1,075 for the full size to $1,499 for the California King, it’s a mattress that’s actually worth the money and that will last a lifetime. Yes, the purchase does come with a 1-year free trial, but if you need to return this mattress I’d assume its only because you refused to get up and go to work in the morning, choosing to stay in bed more. Hell, the company is so sure you’ll love this mattress, they’ve added handles to the sides so you can take it with you wherever you want a quick nap.

So, who better to turn to for a guide to a perfectly well-dressed bed? The designer shares, "Make the most of the centerpiece in your bedroom by dressing your bed as you would yourself–in layers. Begin with a complementary palette. Alternate patterns or stripes with solids for a classic look, or layer solids for a more modern impression."

Start with a bed skirt: the proper bed skirt adds texture and an additional element of color. Try a second one and cinch it at each corner to create a tiered effect. Then, sheets; after applying a fitted sheet, draw the flat sheet to the head of the bed, and allow the other edges to hang freely. Fold the flat sheet over your bed blanket, and neatly tuck both the bed blanket and the top sheet under the mattress. Next, the pillows; start with two European shams (or “squares”) for a full-sized bed, or three for a king or queen. Rest the shams upright against the headboard. Layer two standard shams, followed by two standard bed pillows. Finally add the decorative throw pillows of your choice. Last but not least is the blanket. Your bed blanket’s weight and fabrication should be appropriate to the season–heavier wool or cashmere for winter, lighter cotton for summer. In addition to a bed blanket, a comforter or duvet is necessary. Fold the duvet or comforter one, two or three times, depending upon your style, and set it across the foot of the bed. A throw blanket or quilt adds an additional layer of color and texture and is the perfect finishing touch.

Voilà! A perfectly dressed bed, from the perfectly stylish Ralph Lauren.

In an exclusive interview with Elle Decor, Ralph Lauren described the aesthetic the line captures; "I have always loved things that are worn and weathered, things that have a distinctive patina that evokes the past but brings a spirit of authenticity to the present. I love old wood tables and blue painted cupboards, the look of a vintage leather armchair that conjures up a certain way of living, and comfort that is timeless and never goes out of style. Most of all, I love pieces touched by the human hand, crafted by artisans with purposefulness and a personal aesthetic. The most beautiful homes have a touch of history, of memory, of things that have been passed along, living side by side with the very modern. For me, this is the very essence of personal style."

Ralph Lauren founded his eponymous clothing company in 1967, and has since grown his design empire to a net worth of roughly $7.5 billion.

TREE presents the Roadie Collection, a line of fun and eco-friendly traveling furniture. The clever brand brings ‘Roadie’ a double meaning with our favorite piece from the collection: the mobile mini bar.

Crafted with 100% FSC certified teak wood, the mini bar sports unique colors and textures that can only come from reclaimed wood. An aluminum frame brings some edge to the earthy piece, while lockable wheels make sure your party doesn’t roll away.

Cheers.
