Good Morning my BEAUTIES!

I have such a fun makeover for you guys today.

Can you even believe these are the same pieces?

I had a riot with this piece.

How do you think I reacted when I saw this cart sitting in your thrift store for only $6

and then finding out it was 50% off.

If you guessed that I ran towards it and even before knowing what the price was threw it on TOP of my cart (which it wouldn't fit in) with a big ole grin on my face..

You would be right...

I mean....isn't she just BEAUTIFUL????
Now I know what you 

are thinking...."that hunk of junk?"

but I had passed one up before and have been kicking myself  EVER since!

 When I saw this one I was ecstatic.

This rusty old scratched up vintage rolling COSCO cart

was going to be RETRO again!

I seriously was so excited to get started on this that I drove

right from the  thrift store to the grocery store,

just so I could buy a can of spray paint...

There is nothing worse than realizing you only had HALF a can of the color you

wanted and you know its gonna take a whole can to cover that mess.

All I needed to take the cart apart was a socket wrench and twisted it of.

After the trays were off I lightly sanded them all making sure to get the rusty spots down really well.

I then gave a couple good coats of spray paint and waited for them to dry while 

I decided what I was gonna do to it once it was together.

It was at this moment that I decided to go MOD with it. 

My sister is really into the MOD movement and so I am constantly 

on the search with her for this kind of stuff.

I had this stencil laying about and knew it would go well with the MOD theme.

I used my KRINK permanent paint pen to paint on my stars.

The paint pen is great because its permanent and I don't have to seal it once I am done and

worry about it coming off.

Now here is a secret I am gonna let you in on.

This comes all the way from art class many many many years ago.

I decided I wanted to free hand a martini glass and in order to make sure I didn't mess up with the permanent pen I used a white pencil eraser to draw it on first.

This way I could wipe it off easily with a damp cloth and not have to worry about making mistakes.

I used my Krink marker again and drew on my martini glass and wrote the word

COCKTAILS across it.

 

 I am thrilled with how it turned out.

All it took was a little spray paint and some fun 

and it went from drab to fab.

I hope you enjoyed this latest makeover

Until next time..

Go make someones day BEAUTIFUL!
