Vintage Factory Cart Re-Do - - From Rusty to Industrial Chic

Boy, this has been a busy weekend!  Lots going on - housework, yard work and finishing up several projects for the shop.  My favorite?  This gorgeous vintage factory cart that we transformed from a little too rustic to industrial chic.

We picked up two of these at Lucketts and I finally got to one of them last week.  


It took hours to scrape, clean, seal and paint that metal - in 97 degree weather.

We replaced the wood on this one with some old walnut boards that we had in storage for years.


I brushed on two coats of PolyShades in Antique Walnut.  It turned out so pretty!


I realized when I got home from the shop that I didn't get any good pictures of the top, or from other angles....but when we went back today, it had already sold!


Now on to the next one!

'til next time!
