There has been re-arranging and such in our front room. As Xander gets older, we are merging the concept of playroom with, gasp, school room.
Although this isn’t a new problem, Rich mentioned the need to move our big filing cabinet from it’s place in the garage – collecting dust, to the front room.
Apparently, the stacks of ‘stuff’ has reached the limit of livability. And for my super-flexible hubby, that is saying a lot…
As you can see, organization and general tidiness are not strengths of mine. (Although black and white makes it look a little nicer, doesn’t it?)
So in that metal cabinet moved and since I didn’t like the idea of staring at an ugly metal cabinet, I set out to try and beautify it!
A couple of yards of fabric and joyfully wrapping my brain around figuring it out, we now have a slipcover with a flip-front to make for easy access to my files!
Now I just need to start sorting and filing! Hurray for clean counter tops!
An added bonus is that people now have a place to stash their bags and coats when they come over to our house!

Pretty and clever! I have a faux wood filing cabinet that’s in our schoolroom/front room. I convince myself that it blends in well as an end table 😉
WOW. Wow. WOw. wOW.
Well done sister. You’ve organized and created such a wonderful learning space. I’d like to come over and play. Yes?
