This is a fun painting project with a JG879 - 8 Drawer Storage Cart with Door.

Painting Process

- I didn’t want my cart to look like a traditionally stained cart, since its purpose it to hold all of my art things, I wanted it to look creative

- I removed all the drawers and hauled the cart outside

- Lightly sanded the cart to remove any small pieces that might snag

- I spray painted the entire cart – inside and out - with a silver spray paint to give it a bit of a metallic feel

- While the cart dried, I painted each on of the drawers with a different color acrylic paint. Each drawer got around 3 coats, allowing each coat to dry before the next.

- Before purchasing the cart, I had gathered all the stickers, photos, magazine clippings, foam letters, etc. that I wanted to stick on the cart

- After all the pieces were dry, I used Mod Podge to glue each piece onto the cart.

- As you can see I have different drawers for Paint, Paint Brushes, Paper, Stickers, etc. For the drawer fronts, I used items from that drawer to make it easy to tell them apart.

- For the Pen drawer and the door face, I used Chalkboard Paint. I applied around 6 light coats of this just to make sure I had an even coverage.
