Upcycle: MidCentury Bar Cart - "Cheers to Those That Wish Us Well"..
This bar cart I almost didn't take home from a barn liquidation. He handed it down from the top barn window to me as an afterthought. I decided it could look kind of fun if I updated it somehow. I remember these carts in my grandparents house. Funny what a little chalkboard paint can do, and can you imagine the fun you could have writing new sayings on this with every party? The snowstorm is keeping me from buying the rest of the materials to finish it off. So I'm playing around with a few paper fonts to trace. This one below is my favorite.

We had plenty of this type of furniture when I was growing up, back in the days when things still "worked" forever. I love how you brought it into this millenium!

My aunt gave me one of these carts several years ago. I had no idea how unique it is. Thanks for the information and idea how to restore
