I really needed a spot to file bookeeping items and magazines etc... but got tired of the old filing cabinets that I had moved from house to house. This house I figured needed updated filing furniture. So I got an idea. About 3:00 am ,I am guessing, I dreamed this up. I love it, it turned out better than I thought and it's very handy.
The Finished Furniture 
You will need two of these. A very willing husband, did I mention how much I love him? and a trusty side kick who I also love.
They made me a new base that would raise the old file cabinets off the ground a bit. Looks a little more like a piece of furniture.
I primed and painted old file drawers.And added a cool, fun color found also in the rooms rug.
Peacock Blue, (thanks Karli)

Old, unmatching drawers, handy but not too pretty.

So I'm trying to figure out exactly what Russ did...did he make new outsides for the old filing drawers? Or did he make a table top for the old cabinets as well as a base? They are beautiful! And I love the peacock blue too. They're much classier looking this way than as regular old filing cabinets. I need something like that in my house! Very cool!
Holy Wow, Good Grief. May I mention that I really love it. Good Grief, Holy Wow.
And who's 'Pudge' and when did he arrive? (jk - I was absorbing details and noticed the writing on the board)
