A Little White Wednesday Project and my Stars Booth

I bought an industrial cart from my good friend, Mitzi when we had our fall clean-out garage sale. It sat around in my house a few months and I finally got the motivation to tackle the project I planned with it.

Here is the before picture.

And here is what it looked like after I worked my magic. (ha ha)

A little wrinkly, but so much cuter and very practical to use in my laundry room. I was sick of dirty clothes on the floor, so now I have a big enough place to put them. I used a drop cloth for the outside, a vintage sheet for the inside and the lace was a large piece I bought from Amy of Charlotte’s Brocante. She got it on one of her buying trips to France and I had it for sale in my Stars booth until a few days ago when I brought it home to use on this project. Love that I found a use for it.

Speaking of Stars, I finally remembered to take my camera last week when I went in to do a complete booth re-do. It was fun moving things around and I have to say that I’m pretty happy with how the space is looking right now.

As you can see, I have quite a different color palette from my Monticello space. It’s fun to have two completely different looks going on. Did you notice the cabinet in the above picture? Do you remember when I showed that cabinet before on my blog? If not, here is the before picture.

I got this cutie last summer from a dealer who was getting out of the business. I had never seen anything like it before. To those who may cringe over the fact that I painted it, I apologize, but honestly, the wood was in sad shape in several places and I personally really like the way it turned out.

Hope you all are having a good week.  This rainy weather we’re having is just making me want to get cozy and eat a lot of comfort food. On my next post, I’ll share a recipe I made recently that was a huge hit with my family. TTFN!

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who occasionally "shops" from herself! I have been known to pull things back out of my Etsy when I need them. I dream of a space at Montecello but for now I must be content with my little Etsy. I am impressed that you can keep up TWO spaces - wow!

Loving that cabinet! I hope to stop by Stars either Sunday or the day the Monticello Christmas show starts. Looking forward to mindless time wandering through the aisles of vintage. :-)

The laundry cart turned out so good! Maybe it will make doing laundry more fun?

Your stars space is so pretty. The cabinet definitely looks better painted. Nice work :)

Wow! Amazing redo on the laundry cart. Kinda makes me want to do the wash.
(Not really) but it is REALLY cute!

That laundry cart is just precious! As I was looking through your pics from Stars I was thinking "this has a whole different feel and look from Monticello." And then I read your next sentence! I like the idea that they are different.
