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!
Love your cart. I remember Lola B and that plant thing. I think an IKEA run is in my near future.
ReplyDeletethe cart is great. and you did such a great job accessorizing it.
ReplyDeleteI love these carts--I had a great 50's blue one when we were first married--got rid of it :(. I have one in the garage now, needing a paint job.

Hello- I'm new to your blog & how I got here I don't remember! I'm enjoying everything and I especially like your idea of using the plant stand thing as a lazy susan. Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteLove that kitchen cart! It's quite impressive.

ReplyDeleteThanks 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.
