I have a mental list of certain items I would absolute LOVE to happen across in a flea market, and that I would never, ever, ever pass up. One of them is an old wooden factory cart.
Suzanne came across hers in an antique shop. Lucky her! When she found it, it looked like this…
Talk about a diamond in the rough! But after Suzanne got her hands on it, it looked like this…
It was definitely a case of “it has to get worse before it gets better”. But when all was said and done, she had a gorgeous coffee table for her home.
Pretty amazing, right?! You can see more pictures (before AND after) on Suzanne’s blog, Pieced Pastimes.
Do you have a piece of furniture that you’ve transformed with paint, fabric, paper, etc.? Want to share it on A2D? Send me your before and after pics! [email protected]
Addicted 2 Decorating is where I share my DIY and decorating journey as I remodel and decorate the 1948 fixer upper that my husband, Matt, and I bought in 2013. Matt has M.S. and is unable to do physical work, so I do the majority of the work on the house by myself. You can learn more about me here.
I hope you’ll join me on my DIY and decorating journey! If you want to follow my projects and progress, you can subscribe below and have each new post delivered to your email inbox. That way you’ll never miss a thing!

January 11, 2011 at 7:24 pmDifferent but Amazing! I have never seen anything like such a cart being converted in a coffee table, but I really like the idea.
The last image shows a little bit of the room and how well this table fits with the rustic design of the room.
