Although I must admit I don’t actually have any tea trolleys in my home (hmmm, that might need to change) I do just love them. So when I spied this little guy on the curb I knew he’d be coming straight home with me.
I gotta say that he did kinda just sit around for a while at first. I was waiting for him to ‘tell’ me just what he wanted to become and eventually he did lean over and whisper in my ear, “Make me a girl. I wanna be all dressed-up in vintage cream and sweet sepia sheet music”.
Well, who am I to argue?
So, I got to cleaning and sanding, priming, painting and glazing decoupaging and sealing.
And eventually she emerged….

I love the original rusty old castors.

For that added little touch I covered the dowel hand rail with sheet music too.
I think he, oh…I mean she is much happier now!

Henry looks so much happier as a girl! That cart is beautiful, nobody would ever guess what it looked like before you got your hands on it! Theresa xoxo
This is without a doubt one of the most beautiful makeovers I have seen! What attention to detail. Love the cart, sheet music, casters, handle, and the perfect staging. Great job!
Singing your praises….uh, I know, bad.
But it did turn out lovely.
Found you on the soiree…
Amazing what a difference! This came out so really good.

Gorgeous – I LOVE Henrietta!
So French Country!
this is sooo pretty!!! henrietta certainly looks happier!!!
Gorgeous! What an awesome idea. Something like this would work perfectly in my kitchen – I will have to keep my eye out for a beat-up tea cart! :)
Absolutely gorgeous! You won’t believe this. But I just spent the entire afternoon decoupaging an old tea cart myself! And then I find yours. Mine is a hodge-podge of mod-podge however! And I was too lazy to paint.
