Back in November I blogged about the industrial warehouse cart we bought at an auction. Here’s a link to the the original post.
Hubby redid it for me, it took several days and Mother Nature didn’t always cooperate. But he finished it on a warm November day and it’s now in the den. It had a wooden handle that the workers used to pull and push the cart with, we weren’t going to use it, but decided it needed to be complete, and it’s a great hat rack.
The picture below is the what we started with, and above is how it looks now. He sanded the top but left some of the paint, the wheels were rusty beyond belief, I wish I wouldd have had a before picture. He soaked each piece of steel in vinegar overnight and then wire brushed to remove the rust. We stained the top, then applied several coats of polyurethane, and it turned out even better than I expected. It was such a fun project, and our total cost, including materials and several gallons of vinegar was under $150. Great price, great job, hubby!
He also finished our vintage door mounted on a barn door slider. It’s coming soon…. ~ Jan
