Outdoor Flea Markets
 
5 Attachment(s)
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??

jjs56 05-19-2016 05:53 AM

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.

Love your recycles. I'm in Wisconsin, too, and can't wait for rummage and flea market time! I would love to find an old library card catalogue cabinet, similar to what you have but smaller, so I can put my tiny scraps in by color or shape :)

Wow, I would have never thought that parts cabinet could turn out so beautiful....and so very functional. And I love the hospital cart. You did a great job on both. Makes me want to see what I can find!!!!
