Starting with an existing piece of furniture (IKEA or other) can save so much time on building from scratch! Lisa has the details of her bar below, and if you have a boring piece of furniture needing some love, try these:

Upcycled Rustic Bar with Metal Top
by Lisa from 2Perfection Decor
Hi I’m Lisa visiting today from 2Perfection Decor Blog. I’m so excited to be back here at Remodelaholic with yet another Upcycled furniture transformation. I am so honored to be here for a second time (see the first here).
Today I am showing our Rustic Bar transformation, using an Ikea Varde Kitchen island as the base.
For approx $270 we now have a custom looking, rustic barn inspired Bar. This bar could easily be a kitchen island as well.

Thanks, Lisa!
Head over to 2Perfection Decor to see more of Lisa’s home, like her new sofa table and her master bedroom and ensuite bathroom.
I love the bar! I’m trying to figure out where I can put one in my house!!! Pinning.
Thank you so much Cassity and Lorene for featuring our Rustic Bar!! I couldn’t be more thrilled!
Have a great week!

Thanks for sharing, Lisa! We love it!!
Oh how I love metal countertops, and the metal meets rustic look, I love this!!
This is so cool! I love the stain color and industrial counter tops. She definitely achieved what she was going for!
Love these hacked pieces! The link for the casters was “page not found”. Do you by any chance have the name, brand, etc.?
Thank you, Hope
The link is working for me now, but they are EVERBILT Heavy Duty Swivel Casters (from Home Depot, but it’s the Canadian site so maybe that is why you get an error?)
I am in love with the galvanized countertop!! Was that a DIY project, or did you purchase it as is? I’m building an island for my own kitchen and the countertop is still is flux. This is perfect solution!!
We are building a bar and have purchased the galvanized tin for the top as well. How did you wrap your corners and lip?
How did you stain it that color ?
How much over hang is the front counter top,please?
My son and husband are almost done constructing this bar.
Thanks for the idea!!
Where did the stools come from??
I love this! This would be perfect for a backyard for those who can enjoy warm weather for more than a few months!
This is awesome! I love how the metal counter top and stained gray base go with your floors and house paint color. Do you know the color and brand of paint on your house walls? Love this look! Great job!

Love it! I would like that galvanized look for my kitchen counters… how hard is it to care for?
I wanted to show you the bar my husband built after seeing yours. It was definitely not a beginner project, but we love how it turned out. We’re waiting for the metal top to be finished and plan to stain it like yours. Thank you so might for posting. You are an inspiration!
