I was working on an office segment for Cityline and, because I like to have a little DIY in everything I do, I thought I would take my husband's old scruffy filing cabinet and turn it into an end table. It was so easy to do!
Here is what it looked like before, black, dented and dusty! Notice the paint splattered on the front.
I gave it a good wipe with a wet cloth and when it was dry, I applied a coat of primer with a foam roller. Make sure the primer you choose is suitable for metal.
I then rolled on two coats of Benjamin Moore Advance Paint in China Blue. I can't tell you how much I LOVE Advance paint. I put that sh*t on everything. Again, I used a foam roller for a smooth finish.
The filing cabinet that was tucked away in the dark corners of our basement, is now chic enough to use in a stylish office don't you think?
