Style a Bar Cart

Design by Kristin Guy

Give Dad a break and serve him his favorite drinks on a stylish bar cart. To make this, sand down an existing cart then apply two to three coats of the paint color of your choice to the entire cart. Add painter's tape to the sides of the cart, and apply two to three coats of a different color of your choice to the cart's tray. Let dry, then fill it with his favorite libations.
