Filing Cabinet Redo Project

2011-07-27T16:48:00.011-05:00

Thought I would share my recent project. . .

I've been wanting some type of filing cabinet for the past several months to help me get organized! Everywhere I looked they were really boring though... or expensive. So, my mom found this old cabinet with 3 filing drawers & a storage cabinet attached at an old antique place in Kansas City. It was just $30. As you can see, it was in pretty bad shape so it definitely needed some help :) After a much needed makeover, this is the before & after. . .

My sweet husband helping me sand it. . . (which took way longer than we thought it would, especially in this heat!)
I spray-painted the front & top a light turquoise color and the sides & cabinet door a bronze color. Then, I designed a fun pattern for the front of the drawers and printed it on wall paper at my work. You could use any type of scrapbook paper or wall paper for the front. I just used mod podge to stick the wall paper to the drawers & trimmed the edges with an x-acto knife. Last, I just cut slits where the handles went and put those back on. That's it, now I have a cute filing cabinet & feel so much more organized!
It fits nicely right next to my desk
If anyone has an old filing cabinet, this can be a pretty easy project to give your cabinet a makeover!

Prayer Request...

My cousin, Brandi was recently diagnosed with brain cancer. Her husband Stanton is my first cousin. She is only 29 and their two precious kids are Chaselyn & Jacob. Brandi is going through chemo & radiation treatments daily. Please pray for Brandi & this sweet family!! It has been amazing to see the way God is using them through this battle. They live in Waco, TX and we got to go down for a family reunion to be with them last weekend. What a blessing they are! Please pray for healing, peace, and comfort for them in this time of need!
Blake, me, Brandi, Jacob, Stanton, Kerri & Taylor

"We pray for blessings
We pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
All the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things

Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise"
