I find furniture restoration and taking old furniture and making it beautiful so rewarding. Today, I’m featuring 8 file cabinet makeovers that you’re going to love. These before and after file cabinets have full pictured tutorials so you can makeover your ugly metal file cabinets you have at home as well! {{squeal in delight}}
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.
Before & After File Cabinets

Wow these are beautiful! Great selections. I actually came across a post where people take old file cabinets, paint them, remove the drawers, and make them really cool outdoor planters! Thanks for the post, I’ll be back to see more.
