I found this little English, oak, bar cart at the flea market a few weeks ago. I had been looking for a bar cart for our dining room for ages and this one was so sweet. I also needed something to try out my first shipment of chalk paint. Here is the before shot:
It is a nice vintage piece, probably from the 1930s with its original wheels. I loved the details on it but it was a little dark and had a burn mark where a candle had been lit from the second shelf.
I used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint with Duck Blue as the base coat, then Old White, then French Linen. I did some heavy distressing on it to bring out the little carved details on the front and the turned legs and then sealed it with some wax.
Thanks for checking in!
