Some Adjustments to Our Apartment

So my dad gave us this file cabinet, which we really do love!! One day a friend showed me what she did with her filing cabinet....she used tinfoil and sprayed a gold color to her small filing cabinet and it looked darling. I looked up other ideas that you could do to your filing cabinet. you could use anything. I used wrapping paper from Target and modge podged it all. I decided to do it when Matt was on his family's fishing trip. Finally figuring out that it was a lot of work, my neighbor Hope came to help me! This is before......
And this is After!! It was really bright when I finished and wanted to cry. I spent like 9 hours on it and it was so bright. I am used to it now and it matches our green colors in our bedroom really well.
I really liked the picture frame, but not the picture in it. BUT I did like the "Home Rules" List in it. Have you ever seen that list? The "If it cries, love it?" etc. So I decided to adjust it a little bit. I think it's not my best work, but am starting to like it. Every time I passed it I just had to change it.

This is after!
