Hope Chest Turned Filing Cabinet

You remember my post here about the ugly ugly paper clutter problem.

Just incase you forgot lets go over the before picture

I started out using these for filing

0,0,400,16829,500,500,ca638334but they can only go so far, and sitting out they aren’t exactly on the pretty list if you know what I mean.

I’ve had this hope chest for years and had considered getting rid of it when it became a gathering place for odds and ends.

You can imagine how happy I was when I discovered it would work PERFECTLY for filing!!

IMG_2086sigLook how happy that paper looks in its new organized home!

I’m not completely finished with this project since the honey colored wood doesn’t exactly go with my office, so the outside will be getting a cute makeover. I’ll be adding a few additions to the inside for additional office organization just as soon as I find the perfect fit as well.  

I’m so much happier and more organized now! I don’t know about you but I feel more in balance when things are organized.

The best part(s) of this project, I was able to recycle something for my needs, it looks so much better than a metal filing cabinet, I could use it in ANY room of the house.
