Best Thrift Find Ever



Say hello to my new vintage find, a $5 kitchen cart we picked up at the thrift store the other day. I'm still so giddy, I nearly can't stand it. (don't judge the clutter, friends. We're still simplifying.)

It solves a problematic corner for us, dead space beside our cabinets in our tiny kitchen with perilously little counter space. (do you see the packed dish drainer in the backround? It takes up all the available counter in the entire kitchen. No, for reals.)

So we need that 2 feet of space for storage, but the problem with putting shelves there is that it blocks the major outlet so having a cart that we can roll a couple inches to shuffle plugs around is handy. Plus it's old! and metal! and bright yellow! and $5! and it fit perfectly in the space alloted, like it was serendipitously meant to be! Don't you love finding the perfect thing?
