On the same day I got this little cart home, I banged out the spray paint (which I had from a project in my previous apt) it pays to hang onto somethings hee hee hee
As you can see the handle bars were already silver but a fresh coat of paint {yes even spray paint} just makes every thing all shiny, pretty & like brand new....
and as all the accents were wood and if you follow me you might see that what I do with wood is Rub n Buff it lol
so of coarse I choose to use it for this project
Then I went into my contact paper stash {I buy any pretty blk/white paper I find for 2bux & under}so I've got a pretty nice collection see......
Measure & cut to fit and if your me take 2 hrs to put it on by, doing only a corner at a time and then lifting over and over until you think you have no air bubbles
A peak @ my Rub n Buff stash yes people I bought it in bulk
I like it that much lol
And yes I do see that air bubble, so I looked around my house and found these mirrors from my old china closet (in my last apt) that I wasn't yet using & Vaw La.......
So here is my bar cart as it now sits just waiting on my
"Stock My Bar"
party coming up this weekend I figured as my Bar is in the sun room I'll move the cart to Living room as extra drinking station lol Hopefully they'll be no lines lol oh I crack myself up today
My Dominican roots are showing ^^
{Brugal my daddy's favorite Dominican Rum}I guess this apple doesn't fall to far from the tree...
