File Cabinet Turned Beverage Caddy

I found this little file cabinet out on the road on garbage day. I brought it home with me.
I already have a file cabinet, but thought I could use this for something!
I lightly sanded it...
Then spray painted it yellow with outdoor paint.
My initial bright idea was to use this as a drink holder when we have outdoor events.
We used it for our Father's Day party and it was fabulous!


There are holes in the bottom of it so the water drips out as it slowly melts.
When it isn't used as a drink caddy I keep it on my front porch and use it as a little table.

    Did you put anything on the inside to keep it from rusting insulation or anything

    I also have one in the garage. Something to think about, loved it.

    Good concept. Maybe use some styrofoam to insulate. I use styrofoam to fill in big plant pots to cut back on the soil to fill them
