File Cabinets Are Soooooooo Boring
Although I prefer my good old wooden cabinet maybe you’re sick and tired of ordinary. Here are some ideas… oddly mostly in black, which I did not plan. Sorry folks who don’t love black.
Triple File Cabinet - those are not little drawers, it’s a real file cabinet. But you could use it to double as a side table in a room.
Or read this File Cabinet Tutorial, and learn how to make something like…
All are better than plain old blah office color traditional.

3 opinions for File Cabinets Are Soooooooo Boring

These incredible storage solutions support three (probably more) trends being observed:
1) people want qualitative solutions in all aspects of their home
2) the “boundaries” that used to delineate “public” and “private” zones in a home are blurring… storage like this is something people would want to show to their friends
3) effective home officing (homework, interneting, etc.) is a recognized “must have” in current home designs
Very cool…. good find.

Those are the most beautiful filing cabinets I have ever seen. Just looking at them would make me want to file. (Almost) :)
I watched the tutorial and it was very good. It got me to thinking, mod podging favorite pictures from magazines and then putting a couple of coats of polyurathane over the pictures should work well too. I have covered several suitcases and they have held up well as end tables and decorative pieces, so I think it might work for this project too. I just might try it. I always glue down a back ground first and then put pictures on top so there is never any ‘holes’ in it.

Jon, I agree. Especially with number 2 - I think people want a flow from task to task, something that merges all aspects of home life together.
Marilyn - that is an excellent plan for the magazines - that’s true reuse. Using a magazine twice is always smart. Your idea might make a cool coffee table too.
