Default Outdoor Flea Markets

I'm so exciting that the Wisconsin outdoor flea market season will start in just 16 days! I love flea markets! These are 2 flea market finds from last year that I upcycled. The first was an old hospital cart and the second was an old parts cabinet. I use the parts cabinet to hold all of my longarm supplies.

Great up-cycling! What type of paint did you use on the metal cabinet??

Maniac -- I sanded the loose rust, then primed with Rustoleum spray primer and then used Krylon and Rustoleum spray paints, based on which colors I wanted.
