I love vintage stuff; clothes, dishes, hats, decor, furniture...you name it! I can see potential in so many things people throw away. It really makes me sick to see it! So last year, when my step-mom decided to flip a house, I scored a few treasures. One was a little tea cart. I know y'all have seen these adorable little brightly colored carts all over Pinterest and wondered where in the hell people were getting them...At least, I know I was wondering. I saw an adorable little red one in an antique shop one time and they wanted a fortune for it. So, when I was walking through the flip house and saw a funky looking brown tea cart with brass colored handles, I could see potential. They were just about to toss it in the dumpster when I saved it!
Yeah, I get it, it was freaking ugly! But I knew it didn't have to be. I took it home. It sat in the shed for the last year, and last week, I finally painted it to match my kitchen. The colors in my kitchen are teal and red and I plan on putting this little cart in front of the sliding glass door (the side that doesn't slide). So since my curtains are red, I painted it teal with silver handles.
I think it came out great. I can't wait to finish it off with some cute little vintage kitchen objects!
