Pimping Incredible Filing Cabinet
polycounter lvl 17
Just a little project I did outside of work.
[Materials: Hand drawn stencils, 5 cans of Rustoleum spray paint, tape, and some time = $40.00]
I had been filing out of an old cardboard box for the past 3 years and felt it was high time I moved up in the world. So I requested a filing cabinet. I was told I could either buy a new one or dig through the university surplus for an old one. I was initially going to go with a new one, but when it was mentioned that I'd be reimbursed for anything I put into restoring an old one, I jumped at the opportunity!
I wish I'd taken a photo of the cabinet before I began work on it. It was an ugly thing straight from the 80s, I'm sure. The typical nasty cream color we've all loved to hate. It isn't anything fancy, but it's one of a kind.
