I've needed a new and stylish way to file papers for awhile now.
I would love this filing console from Home Decorators that my friend Samantha has,
but, it wasn't in the budget so when the
"husbird's" old work was giving away some old filing cabinets I had him get me one. He couldn't understand why,
but I had a vision for what I wanted to do with the big metal box.
Of course I forgot to take a before picture, but the picture below is very similar.
It was a light grey lateral filing cabinet.

You can get these on craiglist for cheap.
I bought little legs at Lowes, took off the metal feet it had,
and screwed the new legs on.
I added ribbon pulls for now, until I find some hardware I love.

So cool Emily--you make it look so simple. Love what you did.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great filing cabinet! So much more attractive than the plain metal box look. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is a genius idea!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the link in your comment--I read it and could appreciate, for sure. It is a hard time and I just have to remember it is so brief in the grand scheme.
Have a great weekend!
Great job!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! And boy do I need something like this!
ReplyDeleteNow it looks like an expensive designer piece, so lovely! What a great way to hide all those files!
ReplyDeleteRelacing the metal legs with those gorgeous wooden legs...GENIOUS!! Love your ribbon handles too...I never would have thought of that~~
