Street Merch: Finally, a Bar Cart After
Wednesday, July 6, 2011 at 11:33AM Ages ago I found this Bar Cart on the street - 70th & Columbus to be exact! I wrote about my grand ideas for the cart, but never really followed up with after pictures..... whoops. So here's to tying up loose ends! Onto the bar cart. Here's the before picture - lets pretend we don't see mounds of trash bags....
I primed....
And spray painted shiny Gloss Navy paint...
And here's what I ended up with!
I picked out some Waverly fabric from fabric.com and cut to size. I used Matte Medium to adhere it to shelves of the bar cart. Here's the after!
Those magazines are precariously leaning...
Still want to replace the wheels on the cart. Don't look too closely!
Pardon the not so great pictures! Thanks for being patient with this long overdue after!

You know, it was probably whatever was cheapest at the hardware store! I'll look tonight when i get home.
What is the name of that fabric? It's beautiful!
Where did you get the AMAZING Manhattan picture map that is behind the cart? It all looks great!
Saw you on the Nate show and loved this bar cart! If only I could find goddies like that here on the streets of Katy, Texas!
Did you have to sand this piece (or other wood pieces) before painting? Thanks!
ah. i like the black gives it a chic look. very nice. i just got done doing my own bar cart and i'm in love with it. check it out: http://lifeinprogress-jesslope.blogspot.com/2012/06/bar-cart.html
Hi Hannah! Love your bar cart! Did you sell it? If so, I am wondering what price you put on it as I have recently redone a cart very similar to yours and have no idea what to sell it for. Thanks!
Hi Susan - I did sell it. Thanks for asking!
I found something almost identical on the street recently. I love the details and the shape but it is only 23in. tall. I think it was originally a tv cart. I'm afraid it's too low for a bar cart. Do you remember how tall yours was?
