I was lucky enough to be given a metal filing cabinet that was exactly what I wanted.
Four drawers.
A lock.
It's even better with a bit of color.
What until you see what I did with this bad boy.
For $20 I got two cans of metal primer spray paint, a can and a half of green spray paint, and some vinyl adhesive wallpaper from target.
Spray it all up, pop the hardware off the drawers and stick your paper down, and you are good to go!

I'm a dork, I re-read your post where you said you "popped" the metal off before putting the vinyl on! That answers my question!

that is adorable! What a great idea. I don't have a metal filing cabinet right now but I'll sure be on the lookout for one now.
p.s. it's so fun to stumble across another BYU grad's blog. Yours is so fun!
Wow! I love it. What a great idea. I have some very ugly file cabinets I have hidden in the basement where they offend my eyes every time I go down the stairs. I'll have to do something about them. :)
LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT! I am going to have to do it! Thanks for sharing Miss Creative!
I love this and I am totally inspired. I have a coffee table and desk to refinish and seeing this motivates me! :)

Love love love. Was looking for inspiration for what to do with my ugly old cabinet. And you have all the answers!
This is the best idea you can do whenever you have old 3 drawer filing cabinet at home or at the office. Good job on doing it.
