Hi, above is a filing cabinet which was originally an all grey metal filing cabinet that was very old and battered. I bought this second hand for £5 which was a great bargain.
I wanted this to go in our home office, which is all pine coloured. So I bought a role of sticky back plastic which had a wooden theme on it. This was only about £2 so a great bargain too! I placed this plastic over the cabinet drawers and all around the sides, I didn't bother doing the back as this is not seen.
I was really pleased with the final look - it now looks new and blends in lovely with the office. It's a shame I didn't take a photo of the cabinet before I updated it, but I am sure you can imagine a plain metal cabinet.
Very creative! Thanks for the tip :o)

ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Thanks for the mini-tutorial. Since I make lots of "creatures", I'm always looking for easy doll clothing ideas.
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for sticky back plastic you know but I can't find it here. Where did you get yours from and did they have much selection?
