My daughter has a heavy metal cart with 2 drawers. Heavy duty! Need ideas on what to do with it. The picture isn't hers but all I have at the moment.

    Small kitchen island is my view for this repurposing. Or a bar cart.

    Bar cart for outside or a planting cart.

    I can see it as a bar cart or kitchen island, also. In addition, depending on what she has in her entryway or bathroom, she could also use it as a storage accent piece. Towels, soaps, etc. could be placed on top and the bottom shelves, and the drawers can do the same. Finally, I could see it in a bedroom as a vanity cart. Place stuff like perfumes, jewelry holder, and other accessories on the top, and a box on the bottom that can hold items such as purses. Good luck and have fun!

    Perfect potting stand for any gardener. Or a welcoming potted plant stand by the front door, plant the bottom drawer, perhaps a sign that reads "Parcels" hanging over the bottom shelf for the mail carrier.

    I see it as using it indoors as an industrial piece. But colour and hardware completely overhauled so your friends wouldn't believe what it used to be! 😁 Maybe shiny black with silver trim or a bronze with copper or brushed nickel. Could put a wooden block on top and use it in the kitchen or in the living room, not necessarily as a bar cart but redone so it is a conversation piece all by itself. Hope it help a little.

    I'd use it as a potting / gardening cart. (Put wood in the top area & bottom areas.) Put gardening gloves and tools in the drawers. It would be fun to paint in bright, cheerful colors!

    how about a movable island for the kitchen? just add a large piece of wood for the top.
