Vintage Bar Cart Makeover
The project I am so excited to share with you today is a vintage bar cart makeover. I have been wanting to add some small additional storage in my kitchen for some time now, and when I found this bar cart I knew it was just the right size for the spot I had in mind.
This project was pretty simple, actually. On the top shelf were a few rusty spots, and it was really dirty, so I used some steel wool to rub it down and get rid of the rust. After I cleaned it with the steel wool, I then wiped it down with a damp cloth to get rid of any residue or dust. And then I let it dry. The paint I chose was this Rust-Oleum spray paint in Robin's Egg.
Besides my new bottle rack/mug tree, I also decided to display all of my vintage table cloths on the second shelf. I love the way they look here. Check out our vintage Popeye mug! We finally have a cute place to display it!
I have to say, I love my new trashtastic vintage bar cart! I love the color in my kitchen, and I love the added storage and the chance to display some pretty mugs out in the open. You can click the link to read about some difficulties I had while painting this. But in the end, it all turned out just fine!
