About two months ago, I moved into my own apartment. It is low-budget to keep things simpler for me. The biggest issue I have had so far is not having very much space, and not having enough storage room. Keep in mind I went from about 2100 square feet to less than 700 square feet. I am not trying to complain, but instead to explain why I am having to come up with solutions for storage in such small spaces.
The apartment I got came with appliance, a horrible paint job, and new tiled floors that are uneven... Not the best, so please excuse some funky things in this place. I am doing my best on the low budget I have. Part of low-budget decorating is giving lots of makeovers to used furniture and other various items.
Today's feature is this awesome little metal cart I found for $5 (awesome deal, right?)!!! I knew I would want to redo the paint and so I went into my vault of crafting & DIY supplies and found two cans of this light aqua color that will totally go with my overall idea of the finished product. This thing just needed a good cleaning and a fresh coat of paint since I like the used/rustic look. So I brushed it off and went to painting! Here are the before pics of the cart.
