pretty 'new' filing cabinet

T and I have been wanting to get a filing cabinet since we got settled in our house last year to store all our important bills, house things, bills, Gibson stuff, bills, etc.  When we bought the new desk last fall at the PB outlet [for a great deal, I might add], I saw a cute little filing cabinet that was the same color and a [pretty] good deal, but there was a huge nick in the drawer and T was not cool with that.  So we decided to keep looking.

It's now the end of May and we still haven't found anything worth it.  Office Depot had one, but it was way to expensive to be so cheap looking, and the PB ones are just way to much moolah.  We checked out Craigslist to see if there were any potential-looking ones, and we got very lucky!  We picked it up a few weeks ago, and actually finished painting and re-doing the hardware all in one day!  Pretty good for us (we usually start a project, and then finish it months later, see evidence of this here).

I just love how it turned out, and now I have a little more space to store things, now that I'm working from home in my new job!

Here are the befores.....

And the afters!






We are very pleased with how it turned out!  We got our cute knobs from anthropologie, and spray painted the card holders that were already on it, and then just moved the placement around.  T had the great idea of putting the word for 'files' in different languages, so the top drawer is French, and the bottom Italian.

Stay tuned for our office revamp in the next few weeks [or so].
