Pretty Wallpapered Cart Project By craftynest.com


I bought this trolley for a steal on Craigslist. You may have seen it here. You can’t tell in the photo, but it’s banged up and rickety from years of use.

My friend Peter added some reinforcement to make it sturdy, then I filled in the nicks with wood filler and oiled the squeaky wheels with WD-40. Finally, I made cosmetic changes—using paint and wallpaper left over from Sunset’s Menlo Park Idea House.

With some latex paint, wallpaper and clear lacquer spray paint, you can turn a banged up wood cart into a useful, decorative item for the home. I think this would look amazing in a home office as a printer station (to hold a printer, paper, etc.). Another idea is to use this as a portable craft cart that keeps craft supplies organized in baskets.

Please visit the site above for all the project details, so charming!

    Need to oil a squeaky hinge? Spray with cooking spray and keep a tissue underneath for any drips. Hinges will no longer squeak, doors will swing much easier, and husband will stop complaining.
