Craiglist Cart

While I was checking out craigslist the other day I came across a pretty awesome metal rolling cart.  I knew I had to have it for my art room, it would be perfect to put supplies on.  I scooped up my friend Krissi and headed out to purchase it.  Here it is….

I have actually been looking online for something like this and have only come across really expensive options.

This one is for sale on IKEA’s site for $60.99 with shipping…

I also found this one on Crate and Barrels website for a whopping $125.08 with shipping…

So I am pretty happy with my $20 purchase! Go craigslist!

The lady I purchased it from was really sweet and turns out she has her own etsy site called Busy Girl Vintage.  While I was there I spotted something that I also had to have.  Her garage had a lot of things for sale in it, she had told us she just had a garage sale.  I noticed this small metal box…

She said it was mine for $5.  I was thrilled since I had seen others online that had sold for around $25 with shipping.  Like this one…

Which is $24.95 with shipping and then this one…

Which is $20.50 with shipping, so I pretty much thought $5 was a steal.

Once I got home I cleaned everything really well and set them up in my art room.  First I put some random art supplies that currently do not have homes into the metal box.

Thrilling stuff huh?

I then put some other art supplies on my new cart…

and on the bottom…

Woot woot! Now my art supplies can travel with me on their new fancy cart.

Still a lot left to do in here, but at least now there is a little more to look at!
