THRIFT FLIP | Vintage Bar Cart Makeover

In this thrift flip video, I bring a vintage bar cart back to life. Instead of just painting this piece of furniture I add new casters and give it a modern touch. I had a lot of fun doing this project and loved the way it turned out. Let me know what you think in the comments below!
When I found this piece I didn't really know what it was exactly, but after a bit of research, I believe it's a vintage tea trolley. Honestly, I could only see an updated bar cart in my eyes...
I hope you enjoy this furniture makeover video and thanks for watching!

You've given me ideas for my no longer needed baby change table. I like the two tone finish. Thanks for sharing.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

no prob, thank you!

[@midcenturyflipper]

Loved this! I’m about to shoot a video of a bar cart restoration. Thanks for the inspiration 🙏🏻

[@lesleewatson4266]

Arg! Green tape. Abandon it for the yellow frog tape. Damp rag a well burnished edge and you won’t have the leaks under. What a cool looking cart. Inspiring. Nice job.

[@FurnitureFlippa]

thanks I need to try it!

[@blcscott7897]

Beautiful work.

Thanks so much Penny!

[@fayedewitt4183]

Looks great!

[@terrimitchell-whatdoyouthink]

Cool... I'm refurbing a similar cart that has three existing wheels in tact and had one major crack in the 4th leg. The wheel did not stay in the original hole. So I used a wood putty that sets super hard, and used it to repair the leg, it came out well, but now I have to install the wheel... And it's not separated into two pieces so I'm not sure how I'll get this wheel to stay in place. Wish me luck. Great finish on your item... Given me some inspiration. Thx.

[@jenniferkilgore9967]

Thanks for the tip on spraying lacquer before wax ,I just waxed my piece and paint came off im like whaaattt just happened, sooo annoying. I like your style and your videos

[@FurnitureFlippa]

When I first waxed I was basically wiping off so much paint, super annoying since now there is a layer of wax that needs to be removed before you can paint again. Weird concept hey? haha but I thought this was a good little hack that only takes 30 mins of dry time, then you don't have to worry about it wiping off! But thank you so much!!

Hey I own the same black and white pants.

[@betsysanders33]

Very, very helpful. What material did you use to add "grip" for the wine bottles?

[@FurnitureFlippa]

They are drawer liners, these were called grip liner or something similar.

[@michaelhamerin3814]

Good job. Why would u install the new wheel inserts before paint?

[@FurnitureFlippa]

I knew I wouldn't get paint on them and wanted to make sure it was going to work haha they were different sizes.

[@lukki7ster]

Very talented and a fellow Canadian! Big up ! My apologies if you mentioned it in the video, but what was this made of? Is it real wood? I want to paint an old laminate dresser but since it isnt wood, not sure how to go about it. Can you suggest the right paint or perhaps process for me to achieve this?

[@mascottie]

Love the caster wheels. Where did you get them?

[@fifitis03]

Came out pretty cool! Are you Canadian?

[@FurnitureFlippa]

Thank you! I am Canadian :)
