Poolside Bar

Take the party outside to the pool deck with a wooden bar cart that easily stows away inside the pool house when it's not in use. Stock it with cocktails, snacks, and serving pieces for a crowd—or use it as a side table by your chaise longue for storing your book and drink while sunbathing.
