Pinterest Done-It #2: Ugly Filing Cabinet

You've seen them before.  They're the ugly, metal, two-drawer cabinets that you store pointless pieces of paper in (read: billing statements from 2008 because I'm too lazy to shred them.)  I have one.  In my living room because it would just depress me if it were in the bedroom.
I looked at it one day, while suppressing a bolus of vomit, and decided that this was it's last day of being butt ugly.  I knew what I wanted to do with it, not necessarily from an actual Pinterest pin, but more from Mod Podge + scrapbooking paper inspiration.

Of course I find a pin to this site like two days after I did mine.  But it looks quite nice, regardless.  (Or irregardless, if you're a cray-cray.)

Also, I didn't get a before picture, but you really don't need to be depressed by it's droll appearance.

So I found this fancy cut-out looking paper at the JoAnne (which is my second home, by the way.)  It was $1.99 per sheet, but also on sale for $0.85 per.  Oh yeah!

I used glossy Mod-Podge because I think it looks fancy.

All I did was put tons of Mod-Podge on there and then use a box cutter to cut the overhanging bits.  The part where I had to cut a strip to cover that inch of exposed drawer was tough, but I took my time (rare during craft time) and made it look nice.

This was the end result.

It looks fabulous, no?  Maybe not fabulous, but definitely not as sickly looking.

Mod-Podge is a gift from the gods.
