this old file cabinet was in my office before we moved. it's not a great piece of furniture, but i can't deny the storage it provides. as we prep for the new baby, i keep thinking about all the diapers, toys, clothes & other odds and ends that i will have to keep organized.
i've also always wanted to paint a tree on a dresser. i'm not sure if it's the continuity from drawer to drawer that attracts me, or what, but i really like painted furniture. and i have nothing like that, because i love the true color and pattern of wood more. i could never bring myself to paint a beautiful piece of wood.
so, i jumped at the chance to paint this old thing (not made of real wood), even though "psuedo hubby" was urging me to throw it out. below are the pictures of my makeover once it was complete. it makes me smile every time i look at it.
i painted an old bookshelf to match. this was also a walmart "fake wood" piece that was given to us by some friends. i think the two make an excellent pair. thanks to s & j for the shelf!
