100.365

I'm kind of in the middle of a home office redo. I'm having a desk built and am going to support it using file cabinets. I had one that I spent $12 on at a thrift store and one that was given to me for free. They were in good shape but different colors so I decided to paint them. I've seen some file cabinet ideas with beautiful results, but the lateral file cabinet was too large to cover with paper that was big enough or fabric that I could find that I liked. I also wasn't fortunate enough to have one that needed cute little handles that I could replace. So, I painted them silver. And hated the results. I bought two more cans of spray paint and taped off stripes to let some silver show through so my work wasn't completely wasted. I think the end result will be great once the room is put together. That shouldn't happen for another two weeks, so I'll post photos when it's completed.
