From Hot Mess to Red Hot

Rust, rust, & more rust. That's what I said about this 1960's solid metal cabinet. But I knew it had so much potential and I was in the market for a kitchen island. I have always love the retro style not to mention an opportunity to bring life back to a great piece. I found this cabinet at a local thrift store for $4.99, that's right, $4.99. Had to buy it. My supply cost was around $30.00 and approx. 40 hours work was put it, but was well worth it. What do you think?
Funky, dirty, & rusty before.
Before the entire bottom was covered in rust.
Finished retro island in bright red.
Enjoyed the project?
