Tea Cart Transformation


I found a tea cart that looked a bit sad ~ so I 
pulled out a can of heirloom white and transformed it to a 
newer brighter trolley.




At the moment I am using it for an summer evening cocktail party 
on the deck.

But ...




I can also imagine using it for tea parties and even for
a rolling potting cart in the garden.




Maybe even a sewing cart.  Lots of life left in this old thrift shop find!

I am joining ~

Masterpiece Monday
and
Metamorphosis Monday


Bentley ~ let's get you brushed and looking cute for the parties!

Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

    What a fun find. Beautiful makeover. All your cocktail accessories are displayed so well on your cart. I'd love to find one for my sunroom.

    Happy Monday!

    I was thinking that is some hefty tea-Wink. It is so much better in white.

    I want one! Yes - coming up is my monthly routine of thrift store rounds to find treasure - outfitting a new classroom, looking for props, and tea cups to transform into something nice for Christmas gifts this year. A tea cart - I'd love to find one of those!
    Joy!

    Doesn't everything always look better with a coat of white paint? The cart looks great. It could even be a mobile desk. - Lana www.lifeatwildberrycottage.com
