I have had this boring black file cabinet for almost five years. \u00a0It is the perfect size and gets the job done. \u00a0Plus, at one point it held my printer.<\/h3>\n<\/h3>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n![\"Before](\"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/IMG_5347-768x1024.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
<\/h3>\nSince we have been adding new shelves and making the office more appealing, I decided the file cabinet \u00a0was too dark. Plus, I needed something painted in my office, and the file cabinet would be an easy fix.<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/h3>\nThis might be the easiest piece I have ever painted. \u00a0I removed the handles and went to town.<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/h3>\nThe key to painting a metal cabinet is to use an oil primer<\/a>. \u00a0I actually did two coats of oil-based primer. \u00a0As much as I do not like working with oil paint, I feel it made all the difference in how well this cabinet is holding up. \u00a0After the primer I used regular latex paint that I had on hand and painted away.<\/h3>\n <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/h3>\nAt first I thought about getting new handles, but I got these labels\u00a0<\/a>and decided they would work. \u00a0They were only a couple of dollars, and they stick right on the cabinet.<\/h3>\n <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/h3>\nTa-dah!!! \u00a0This simple project helped turn a boring file cabinet into something with a little more spunk.<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/h3>\nNot only is the cabinet now holding lots of papers, but I am also using it as a side table to the sofa in the office\/study. \u00a0I have been using it for a couple of months as a side table, and it is holding up quiet well without chips or dings.<\/h3>\n
