It was linoleum, (yuck), and the top had been all warped.
I sanded down the top as best I could, but wasn't too worried about it because what I wanted to do would cover up the bumps!
The rest of the cart was in great condition.
I started with a fresh coat of black paint, I covered every inch so it felt new and clean!
Then I cut up a bunch of pictures from an old magazine I got for free at a flea market from the 50s.
I used adhesive, but you could use modpodge, and stuck all the images to the top making sure to smooth out any air bubbles.
Then go over the top with a couple coats of glossy sealer.
Ta-da! A totally adorable cart for less than 5 dollars including supplies.
Looking pretty cute in the corner of my room. I might not even want to put my tv on it!
That is SOOOOOOOOOOOO awesome! You did a great job!
