I’m so excited about this DIY I’m sharing with you today! If you’ve been following along you know I’m making over our dining room. It’s come a long way but still needs a few pieces and finishing touches. This past weekend I remembered I had an old utility cart in storage. I pulled it out and decided to turn it into a bar cart.
Everyone needs a pretty place to put their liquor, right?
This bar cart started as an ugly Red Coca-Cola rolling cart. I was into that sort thing at one time. I was so excited to take it apart and get started that I forgot to take a picture before! Here it is all ready for sanding. IT was in decent shape already, just a few rusty spots on the legs.
I gave it a light sanding and then just started slinging paint.I used Rustoleum Paint + Primer Semi-Gloss White spray paint and Rustoleum Pure Gold Spray Paint. I finished it off with a coat of spray poly for protection.
Now we have a sweet little spot for all of our libations (ha!). Anyone wanna come over for a party? Do you have a place for the drinks? Do you just keep them in kitchen cabinets? This freed up quite a bit of space for us in the kitchen! Some back later this week for a tutorial on the curtains 🙂
Ah I love this! Such a great transformation. I need to make myself a bar cart stat! Can’t wait for your post on the curtains 🙂
Thanks Erica! I should have the curtains post up Wednesday 🙂 They aren’t really the look I was going for but I don’t hate them so they’ll stay for now.
I love a good bar cart! What a great makeover!!

This little bar cart turned out so fun! I’m crazy for gold and white, so a win in my book! I’d love for you to come share at our link party going on now. http://www.delineateyourdwelling.com/2014/06/link-it-or-lump-it-party-number-40.html
Love your makeover – I’m loving all things gold right now myself! Thanks for sharing at Monday Funday! Pinned it!
Thanks Heather!
It’s amazing what you can do with a little paint isn’t it?
This project turned out great!
Great bar cart. I wish I had a place for one and that we actually drank. We do not, but I love the way bar carts look. Not sure bottled water would look good on display.
Thanks! You could do a drink station for special occasions? Not the same but still 😉
Great DIY. Now it looks wonderful 🙂
Thanks Sara!
