Yard Sale Bargain

  So, last weekend my little town had a city-wide yard sale.  I knew I got a late start, but I thought might get some good deals that way!  To keep from spending too much, I told myself I was only looking for bookcases or bookshelves and maybe a little table and chairs for my grandchildren.  I mostly drove around, only stopping every so often to check out stuff I couldn't see from my car.  I didn't find any bookcases or shelves, and the grandbabies' table and chairs couldn't be found, but I did make a few other discoveries, one in particular that I couldn't believe when I saw it! 

  Well . . . did I come across a find, or what??!!

 

This is a Vintage Cosco Rolling Kitchen Cart with Electrical Outlet.  I was surprised, but pleased to find the original sticker on the bottom that told me what make and model it was.  So, I priced them on the internet and found they go for anywhere from $128 to $183!!  And can you guess what I paid?  I bought this little jewel for...are you ready?  $5.00!!!  Yep!  I knew I had a steal, but I didn't realize just how much of a steal!  It was in the original old avocado green color and other than a few scratches, in great condition!  But, I wanted to upgrade it a little so, I gave it a little paint job and, voila'!

  I don't know how much you can tell, but I painted it with a silver metallic spray.  Then, I discovered my wooden cutting board fit the top perfectly!  

  Here's the finished product!  All that's left to do is arrange my small kitchen appliances on it and roll it into the laundry room!  ...until I need them, that is.  :)
