Old Metal Filing Cabinet Re-Vamp

$3 dusty old filing cabinet at DI.

To Re-vamp all you need is:
*your trusty old tote's of 12X12 paper
*pick you favorite mismatched pieces... (I like to go RAnDoM)
*Mod Podge/ paint brush

And Vvwaa-LA.....


And Full View of Top and Front....
I kept the sides and edges black, because I liked the contrast.

  2. Oh wow... Now THERE's a mod podge project for you! I went a little smaller than that today, but I still had fun with it! I DO, however have a boring-looking old file cabinet though, that I do my best to hide, and I LOVE this idea! I think I may show my daughter this one too! Thanks for the inspiration! ~tina

  5. this cabinet must have belonged to the same metalhead dude who had the dresser with all the stickers on the mirror that you refinished. If I close my eyes and think, I can just imagine his decor...scaaarrry.

  6. I'm going to try this with wrapping paper, since my dimensions are a bit larger. Stupid thing is so old and banged up...
