Found & Repurposed

This is one of the items I picked up during my day of antiquing. It's a vintage Atlas parts washer. Some thought it was an old mop bucket..either way is good. If you know the exact original use for it give me a holler. I thought it would make the cutest drink stand. Just look at those adorable little wheels and chippy paint!

All it needed was a good cleaning by scraping off the loose paint and a giving it quick coat of clear spray sealer. Here's a stylist trick for you: before filling it with ice line the bottom with clear trash bags. The bags disappear when covered with the ice and it keeps the vintage piece more food safe.

What kind of vintage finds have you repurposed lately?
