DIY Enthusiast Transforms Vintage Sewing Table into Chic Chilled Drink Cart A recent online video by DIY enthusiast Tori Mohn has captivated viewers with a clever and accessible home improvement project. Mohn demonstrated the transformation of an antique sewing table into a functional and stylish chilled drink cart, ideal for summer entertaining. The project begins with sourcing an old sewing table and a metal tub. Mohn guides viewers through the process of cutting a precise hole in the tabletop using a jigsaw to accommodate the tub. Following this, the table undergoes preparation with sanding and priming before being painted with a tan chalk paint in “Natural Almond” by Behr Paint. To achieve a sophisticated, aged wood aesthetic, Behr Wood Finishing Wax in “Dark Antique” is then applied. The final touches include the addition of practical elements such as wheels for mobility and a towel bar, enhancing the cart's utility for outdoor gatherings. The completed piece, showcased with bottles of wine chilling on ice, highlights a creative and budget-friendly way to repurpose old furniture into a contemporary and useful item. Mohn expressed her satisfaction with the outcome, stating, “I think this may be one of my favorite DIYs ever.” The video has garnered significant attention, inspiring many to consider similar upcycling projects for their homes.
