Hi Everyone! Today I thought I'd show you what I made this past Sunday. Despite the fact that I had a list of items I needed to finish for the fair this weekend, I decided to take a stack of lumber and build a rolling cart. I started it on Sunday and finished it on Monday. I don't have any before shots because it was just a stack of lumber. And I don't have any in process shots because I was trying to get this done quickly.
For this one I actually drew up plans and had what my measurements were going to be (I usually just wing it as I go) because I was trying to get this done quickly. I used 2x4"s for the frame and 1x8"s and 1x4"s for the top and shelves.
I painted the base a pretty leaf green color and stained the top with my favorite custom dark brown stain.
I added wheels with brakes to it.
It could be used as a kitchen island, a bar cart, a storage cart, a media center...there are so many possibilities for it. I will be taking this to the fair this weekend. I debated on the color for a long time and whether I should distress the finish but decided against it. What would you have painted? And what would you use it for? Thanks for stopping by.
