Rolling Cart-from Drab to Fab!

A few weeks back I found this really damaged dresser and rolling cart at the Flea Market   They had potential and good bones, but needed some major help.  Here is the rolling cart before:
 After cleaning this cart/cabinet I did a quick sand and then mixed up some chalk paint in Linen.  The wood was so dry that it soaked up the paint like a sponge!  After a few coats of paint I distresses the cart and sealed it with Dark wax/hemp oil.  I love that the cabinet/cart had wheels and can be pushed around so easily and it has a pull out shelf. 





Gorgeous hardware

Love copper mugs-I have been really into Moscow Mules lately! 


Love dried roses! 






The pull out shelf

Cocktail anyone? 



This cart/cabinet has so many uses!

Fall Touches Around My House

 As I was changing up my mantle the other day, I also felt the need to add some touches of Fall to the living room.  
 I wanted to keep a simple, clean and cheerful look so I added orange all around.
