Utility cart makeover!

This recently found utility cart needed a little makeover. I loved the size (coffee table height), the greyish-blue color and the wheel factor, but I thought the top could use some excitement.

After digging around the garage, I found an old map I picked up last year. It was ideal for this mini-makeover, as the color of the map looked to be a good match to the cart.


Out came the trusty Mod Podge...
After measuring, cutting and adhering the map (I always use my hairdryer and fingers to push out those bubbles - works great every time), a couple coats of poly were added to the top for protection. This is probably as close to Central Europe as I'll ever get! Look, there's Italy! Here she is finished! (Have you noticed all my finished products are named in the female sense of the word?) :)

Hope you enjoyed this quick, easy makeover. She (ha!) will be available for purchase at JunkFest 2010. Make sure you check out our info for more details on this year's sale as well as our EVENING EXPO! We're excited to have you join us!
