Bar carts display gorgeous settings of crystal glasses, chrome ice buckets and elongated spoons, making a rental apartment look like a posh pad.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you want a bar cart to look classy, or just for the convenient wheels and extra storage space, here&#8217;s a DIY Ikea hack version that can be done on the cheap, but looks awesome.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The parts.

Assemble the bar cart, except for the drawers and shelves. Spray paint any of the metallic areas with the gold spray paint, and let dry. For the wheel, use painter&#8217;s tape to block off the wheel itself and paint the metal parts. Then use the lacquer or poly to seal in the gold paint. When that dries, just finish assembling, and you&#8217;ve got yourself an apartment-sized bar cart!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/historyinhighheels.blogspot.ca\/2014\/02\/diy-ikea-bar-cart-hack.html?m=1\" target=\"_blank\">History in High Heels<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People who own bar carts are as enviable as Don Draper in Mad Men, pouring &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":1255,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"coauthors":[220],"class_list":["post-1251","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-diy-life-hacks"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Awesome Ikea Hack of the Week: A Mad Men-era gold bar cart that&#039;s the perfect size for apartments<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/awesome-ikea-hack-of-the-week-a-mad-men-era-gold-bar-cart-thats-the-perfect-size-for-apartments\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"TorontoRentals.com Blog\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/awesome-ikea-hack-of-the-week-a-mad-men-era-gold-bar-cart-thats-the-perfect-size-for-apartments#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/awesome-ikea-hack-of-the-week-a-mad-men-era-gold-bar-cart-thats-the-perfect-size-for-apartments\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"TorontoRentals.com Blog\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/53503b1c0fd1a6bc186b273abbee8d44\"},\"headline\":\"Awesome Ikea Hack of the Week: A Mad Men-era gold bar cart that&#8217;s the perfect size for apartments\",\"datePublished\":\"2016-02-17T15:16:12+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/awesome-ikea-hack-of-the-week-a-mad-men-era-gold-bar-cart-thats-the-perfect-size-for-apartments\"},\"wordCount\":192,\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/awesome-ikea-hack-of-the-week-a-mad-men-era-gold-bar-cart-thats-the-perfect-size-for-apartments#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ikea-hack.jpg\",\"articleSection\":[\"DIY &amp;
