Do you need additional dedicated space in your kitchen? Take your kitchen to the next level with a custom kitchen cart. This is an easy DIY project that will bring a ton of charm and comfort to your kitchen.
You can find a smooth rolling kitchen cart for a reasonable price online or at a big box store. Sand the front, back and legs in preparation for painting. Do not sand top or wheels. Choose a bright and cheery paint color that complements your kitchen's color scheme. Since this isn't a permanent fixture in your kitchen like your cabinets, you can have a little fun with the color. For best results, take your car apart and paint it in pieces.
Add some stylish drawer pulls to increase the glamour. We used smoky quartz handles to tie in the gray driftwood color throughout the rest of the kitchen.
Flea markets and garage sales are great places to find vintage cookware. An antique roller creates a sweet spot for a pretty dish towel and makes this cart one of a kind. To install, screw the curtain rod brackets into the roll pin handles, and screw the curtain rod brackets into the bottom of the butcher block top.
TIP:Make sure the screws are shorter than the surfaces you're screwing to so they don't protrude from the finished side.
Use trays to organize all the utensils and tools for your cooking or baking needs. Trays can be placed on the top and bottom shelves, leaving room for gadgets, cookbooks, or cutting boards.
This DIY project turns a plain, drab kitchen cart into a stylish rolling island. And not only will it keep your gourmet gadgets organized, but you can also tuck them in the corner and out of your way when you're done with them. Let the culinary adventures begin..
