File Cabinet Makeovers
1. Fabulous File Cabinet makeover with step by step pictured instructions from Jackie who turned her 4 drawer file cabinet into a beautiful work of art.
2. Short file cabinet makeover – Using faux painting technique on the drawers and the desk top. **Sadly, this blog was made private. You no longer can view the tutorial.
3. DIY Fabric filing cabinet redo – Cut fabric to fit and secure with a mod podge on the cabinet, smoothed on the fabric and an hour or so later added another layer on top.
4. Grey veneer filing cabinet makeover – Jodz used a sample of Vision wallpaper that has a lovely textured suede feel and cost $7.00 (available in NZ at Resene) to make her file cabinet beautiful.
