A Fresh Design for Industrial File Cabinets

by Sarah @ {Home-ology} modern vintage

As part of a home office redo for my husband, we recently created an office space/work area by using an Ikea desktop and two salvaged file cabinets found at a local thrift store. But the salvaged file cabinets were a true eyesore and definitely weren't acceptable in their current state. So I gave them a modern upgrade with some paint and paper. The project was completed in a day and gave the desk a major facelift. Visit the blog for a detailed tutorial on this project at www.homeologymodernvintage.com or follow the blog link above and search "file cabinet."

  @Sydney Anne Lorenz it was a roll of wrapping I picked up at Home Goods, but it was a heavier weight craft-type paper (brown). Any heavy weight paper should work for you.
