YOU GUYS. I think this might be my favorite completed project to date. It started because we outgrew our tiny little file cabinet case and decided it might be time to graduate to full size (thanks, adulthood, for all your paperwork). So I thought really hard about getting this chic solution from CB2 (which I still love), but I just couldn’t get myself to spend the money on such a simple concept like a file cabinet. Then my parents reminded me of one of their many treasures and this file cabinet was just waiting for a redo. I came up with the idea and color palette after perusing my Design*Sponge at Home book…and I just love how it turned out! : ) And Hubs is becoming a spray paint pro around here!
Hope you’re inspired! xoxo

Love it! I’ve been considering trashing my bookshelf which holds all of my stuff to get a filing cabinet. You may have just made up my mind =)
