Kitchen Cart


I picked up this sweet little old kitchen storage cart from the thrift store for a couple dollars and I just love it! I've been on the lookout for a cart like this - chippy, retro, and a bit worn.




The chalkboard was made out of an old (heavy!) mirror. I painted the frame white and spray painted the mirror with chalkboard paint.


Love me some chalkboards!



I got the idea to use this metal Ikea plant stand-thingy from Lola B's. I'm using it as a lazy susan on our kitchen table. You can find it in the gardening section of Ikea.


I think it adds character, and I love that it has castors! I store spoons & forks in the number mugs that I found on clearance at TJ Maxx and the French butter dish was an awesome and absolutely perfect gift from my friend Sheila!

  11. Thanks for this creative and super affordable idea! I was looking for cheapest ideas for a kitchen storage rack or cart as I needed one in my kitchen. I am currently working from home as I offer cheap online class help services so, I got a lot of time for my renovations and to do DIY crafts. This cart literally took my heart now I will try to recreate this for kitchen as well.
