Ikea Cart Kitchen Island
I created at 5 am one morning...
Apartment Therapy's The Kitchn liked it too and featured it on their website.
Well today I'm taking another naked Ikea cart and making it fabulous.
I began by creating a custom color using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.
I mixed Louis Blue with English Yellow and got this gorgeous green...
The new color was perfect for this cart!
A coat of clear wax was applied over the green for protection.
The top is stained with Minwax cloths (affiliate link) that I won from a giveaway over at My Repurposed Life.
If you don't know Gail... you should! She makes fabulous hand-made furniture.
These wood finishing clothes work great and make the job
of staining much easier.
I added hooks and handles for towel bars to the side of the cart and it is ready to work as a handy moveable
kitchen island.
Thanks so much for visiting and be sure to pin this project. You can follow Homeroad on Pinterest using the icons on the sidebar and sign up for emails so I can send my latest DIY tutorial straight to you!
