Today\u2019s Ikea Hack helps you outfit your Toronto pad with a bar cart that\u2019s got tons of storage, is rustically masculine and looks great in any space.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The parts.

Then give it a once-over with the wood stain. Once dry, give the cart a bit of a rustic, beat up feel by sanding a few patches and beating it up a bit with a hammer, screwdriver and blowtorch \u2013 not that you\u2019d have a blowtorch hanging around, so a lighter would do the trick too. Just don\u2019t burn yourself.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>When that\u2019s all good to go, coat the pieces in the clear varnish and let dry again. When it\u2019s totally dry, attach the wine glass racks UNDERNEATH the top section of the cart, beneath where the drawers go in. Assemble the rest of the cart.<\/p>\n<p>Finish it off by stocking the shelves with your favourite selection of booze, and hang wine glasses upside down from the wine rack.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/rainershine.blogspot.ca\/2013\/07\/bar-cart-renovation-ikea-diy.html\">Rain er Shine<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having a bar cart in your apartment automatically gives your space some serious cred, and &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":1729,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"coauthors":[220],"class_list":["post-1717","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-toronto"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
