Filing cabinet makeovers are close to my heart, because that was the very first post that kicked off Better After! It’s still one of my all time favorites, see it HERE. And I’ve featured a few more filing cabinets since then, check those out HERE.
But Leah took it even further and replaced the pulls on her cabinet to make it look like a really real piece of furniture. Can I get a “genius!” Yes.
See more from her on her blog California Callahans.
