Repurposed File Cabinet to Mud Room Bench!

 I have to say this is one of my favorite DIY projects I have ever done!!! I looooove the way this turned out. I got that filing cabinet FREE from freecycle and I didn't really know what I was going to do with it.
That happens a lot... I'm a little bit of a hoarder but with purpose??? I'm sure "they all say that" Anyway this was so worthwhile!


As you can see it had all the hardware in it even file folders! So I took those out and put them in my "garage sale pile" :)



This is what I had left to work with :/ I sanded my little heart out and then since I didn't have matching stain I decided to paint the weird sides with this paint...


Already a Huge improvement!

See!


Then I cut out some beautiful vinyl with my circut that happen to match this awesome fabric I bought months ago.


See how nicely the match!


I Loooove it! Isn't it amazing? and since I already have a bench with this purpose I had my new awesome friend and neighbor in mind when I made it! I gave it to her beautiful family as a house warming present!
