Even though the filing cabinet is still not pretty, I've created some file folders and am stashing every possible thing in there. I think I'm teetering on the edge of hoarding. I'm doing some freelance work in addition to my regular job so I'm hesitant to throw anything away. I think the blue is really nice. If I find something light enough without looking too Easter egg-like then I think we'll be in business. Painting the base one color and the drawers a different color is a great idea and would definitely be easier than taping off sections for the edging, but for some reason I'm really drawn to this look. Has anyone tried spray painting or using a roller on metal and then taping off sections and painting details? Will the tape rip off the spray paint? I don’t blame you Danielle.

Then he sees why. I like the blues more than the grays. But I had an idea...what if you painted the cabinet a tiny bit darker and the drawers a tiny bit lighter? hahaha…My hubby thinks I am nuts for saving all the stuff I do throughout the year.

I think I missed out on some sort of girl gene because I always want to keep moving while shopping. Peter gets so lost in things but, to be fair, he has his share of antsy moments too. Thanks for sharing this post with me. I'm shocked that I'm not already following this blog! It's fabulous. I love your filing cabinet. It's so adorable. I'm just worried that since the one I found is so tall that adding color would be overwhelming. I think I need to get over this. I mean if I hate it I can always paint it some other color, right?

Whenever Lee stops to examine something at the store for more than a few minutes, I get real antsy and cross my arms and try as hard as I can to be patient. But usually, I'll end up saying something like, "You ready?" when he's clearly lost in his thoughts. It's awful, but I'm not a very good shopper. I like to go, go, go without any breaks for an hour and then quit. Well, you might not want my input because I love color, but I vote for blue! My Goodwill filing cabinet is so cheerful in red and really makes a statement with our cream walls. I think Nesting Place said that for that pretty robin's egg blue to always go a grayish blue instead of a blue that kind of looks turquoise. So, you could have the best of both worlds! http://www.thenester.com/2009/07/painting-pine-furniture.html You and I are similar shoppers.
