Filing Cabinet Makeover
This up-cycler used epoxy to attach cheap 8×10 frames to the fronts of the drawers. They then painted entire thing using homemade chalk paint in a swiss coffee color; added new hardware and finished it with minwax paste wax to guard against scuffs and scratches. Looks so much better!
