Recently, I found this cart at the thrift store for only $7. I instantly knew I wanted to paint it gold and use it as a bar cart. I’m going to be honest with you here, I have the uncontrollable desire to paint everything in gold, so it was no surprise.
The cart was in pretty bad shape and with the help of my boyfriend (and by help, I mean he did almost everything), we were able to transform it into the lovely little bar cart below.
We took the wheels off and had the entire cart sand blasted to remove all the paint. The wheels had to be hand sanded since they were plastic. Then we just primed it and painted it gold. It took a few days and some serious elbow grease to transform this cart, but it was definitely worth it.
