How do I decorate a pony bar between my kitchen & living room?

What is a pony bar? Do you just mean an island or do you with a bar theme like the Pony Bar in New York or something different altogether? Either way making a little wine holder display could be cool, something like on the lower left of this tutorial https://www.hometalk.com/diy/basement/furniture/campaign-furniture-home-bar-4329804

I meant lower right actually!

Nancy: Keep it simple -- for an open concept look... a (real) green plant on one side and maybe some interesting, good-sized impact piece... like a rooster (if you're traditional) or piece of sculpture.

Hi Nancy. I'm Cindy. If you want to decorate your pony bar for Christmas, you could hang garland mixed with lights around the entire perimeter. Then hang ornaments or paper snow flakes from the ceiling. Good luck Nancy and Merry Christmas.

You could paint it an accent color as an accent wall or put up board and batten.
