Glam Drinks Trolley

You will know from previous posts that I love a great drinks trolley.  I think they are glamorous and decadent and I hope one will feature in all my future homes. 

I recently saw one Design Sponge which is absolutely gorgeous.  I love that gloss white finish with the gold details.   How fantastic is the end result below!!

Clever friends!

Although we've only been in Perth for a short time I've been lucky to meet some like minded friends who enjoy a DIY project too.  On my latest trip here (when I found my DIY drinks trolley) three of my friends also found bits and pieces that they saw potential in. This is our haul below.  Wiz and Matt bought the hat stand and watering can and Kate got the wooden try and old trunk.  

I've just caught up with both friends this week and saw their finished projects.  How great do all these look!

DIY Drinks Trolley

I like the idea of a drinks trolley.  To me it evokes something glamorous and decadent,  straight from the vaults of old school Hollywood.  I am sure any drink I would make from there would taste that much better because it came from the drinks trolley. Whether you fill the shelves with bottles or just use a select few along with some vintage decanter bottles there are so many styling options.   

 

So I was pretty excited when on a recent trip to here I found this run down trolley... as soon as I saw it I thought drinks trolley...  a neon drinks trolley!

The best part of my DIY drinks trolley is that it was super easy to do!

Materials I used:
1. fine sandpaper
2. White Knight spray paint in fuchsia

All we needed to do was give the trolley a good clean and a quick sand with some fine sand paper.  We then sprayed the trolley with two layers of fuchsia spray paint and let it dry.  It took less than two hours and all up cost me less than $15.

Anyone keen for a drink?
