Furniture Makeover: Margarita Bar

After moving out of my parents house, I 'inherited' some lovely items from family and friends.  Basically got stuck with a bunch of old stuff that they wanted to throw away.  Among those items was this amazing TV stand. 

This beaut is equipped with 360 degree wheels so you can push your TV anywhere in your house with ease.  It also must have had doors on the front at one point. 

At first, I did use this as a TV stand, then it got moved to the basement to be used as a storage shelf.  Recently, I decided to resurrect this hideous piece and turn it into a hip Margarita Bar!

I first slathered on 2 coats of Martha Stewart Precious Metals paint in Copper Kettle.

The wooden box in the upper right corner is my grandmother's silver!

The Cactus Margarita glasses were $1 each from the Dollar Tree.  I got such a great deal, I bought 12!

The tequila set, drink stirs, and bottle opener all came straight from Mexico.  I collected each one from a different place and a different trip.

Next Season on Rachael Ray...

ME!  That's right, yesterday I got a phone call from one of the producers and she wanted some information on my Double-Duty Tip I came up with.  I told her all about it and she invited me to come on the next season of the Rachael Ray Show.  The next season starts filming in September.  I'll get a call once they finalize their schedule. 

The segment I will be participating in is called Double-Duty Tips.  I can't say what my tip is, but some examples are using a frying pan instead of a meat mallet, a bottle of vino as a rolling pin, or a broiling pan for bacon. 

I'm SUPER excited for this opportunity and I want to bring a gift for Rachael and the producer.  I'm thinking maybe a bottle of my favorite MI wine.  Let me know if you have any ideas!
