Transformation

Some time last year I bought an old metal rolling cart at a garage sale for a couple of dollars.  It was sturdy but rusty, and the shelves were covered with wood-look contact paper.  Not pretty!

I neglected to take a picture before I tore the contact paper off, but here is how the shelves looked after I took it off.





There was quite a bit of rust on the top shelf and a few places where the stickiness from the contact paper was still on all of them. 




I scrubbed and scoured the stickiness and rust off as much as I could.  Then I painted them and put the whole thing back together.  I'm so excited with the end result!





Yellow is one of my favorite colors; can you tell?  Now I have a great rolling cart for the kitchen, or wherever else I might want to use it.

  2. Many moons ago I owned a cart like that. I think it was beige. I have no idea what happened to it. Wish I had it today! I love that you painted yours yellow!
