Vintage Bar Cart Re-Do


I found an old cart at the Flea Market this week and knew it cold be really cute.  When I got it home I took it apart ( I forgot to take a picture before I took it apart).
Before:
The tray parts of the cart were an ugly brown to me so I spray painted them a blue that reminded me of vintage things from the 50s.  I liked the rusty metal frame of the cart so I kept it that way.

 I screwed the trays back on and now I love the cart.

Good Rust

Great old wheels


Tulips from Easter 











So cute in my opinion!

      Hi Sarah--I just cleaned it and then used Spray paint. Easy Peasy project and I love how it turned out and it went fast at the show this weekend.

    I always forget those "before" pictures, too. Just get excited to get going, I think. I love the color. I have one that I think should be yellow.

    I love this cart!
    I just picked up a mint green metal cart at a flea market but I have it stashed in a closet for now...
    I think the color you chose is just perfect!

    Love this!! Do you remember the name of the color? I'd love this on a vintage cart I got a few years ago. I found you through Imparting Grace link up.

    Looks amazing! My parents have a cart like this and I've been trying to talk them into giving it to me so I can paint it. After seeing this I am going to start bugging them a little more!
