Rolling Cart..Goodwill Glamour

Can you see the price? It was $3.99 only it was half-off day at the Gee-Dub (Goodwill) so I paid $2.15. Right up my alley. It is chocolate brown here.
Dang! I forgot to take a "Before" photo until after I sprayed the legs, so use your chocolate brown imagination.
Look! the sides flip up!



If you liked the chair re-do, your eyes are going to fall out when you see this one!



After


A little note writing cart in my office OR.....


How about a little bath caddy?
I love the curvy legs with the tiny casters!
DIY Day @ ASPTL


I used "Brushed Nickel" Spraypaint for this project.


*Update*
I think Restoration Hardware is stalking me! Look what they emailed to me this morning.

Theres is $295.00 on sale, mine was $2.15 on sale! Score!!!

    I love it in the bathroom! I'm normally good at seeing past ugly colors but I was sitting here wondering what you were going to do with that dingy old cart *lol*

    I can't even explain how much I am in love with that. Seriously. And, I snooped through the rest - that office chair - dreamy.....

    AWESOME!!! I love the curvy legs. :) I think I like it best as a bath caddy, but both versions are great. Thanks for the visit. :)

    guess what I have in my office closet? One just like it but I have not done anything to it yet. Love the rollers on the legs. It looks just like I wanted to do to mine. Maybe I will!

    My dad used to have one of these and we used it for a typewriter stand. Lol. Brings back memories. I love what you did with it and wish I still had it now!
