This is SharonS. I needed a file cabinet for my new office and I wanted it to be fun and reflect what I Smell Sheep is about. I decided to decoupage it with comic book pages/covers.
1. Had to find a file cabinet. I went to Restore and got this on sale for $10.
2. Searched how to decoupage.
3. Bought the decoupage from AC Moore and picked up a bunch of comic books for $1/each at a local comic book show. Took some time to go through and pick out all the pages I wanted to use. Then Holly (my daughter) cut out some pics.

5. I bought some spray paint to do the drawer fronts. I couldn't decide between red, black or white. Still not sure I picked the right color...
6. Check out the awesome!

I'll post pictures once I get the office finished!
Those are great pictures. I just love it. If I had a file cabinet in my office, I would so do this.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I've thought about doing part of my desk with book pages.
DeleteI love the red! Keep it red!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteWhat a great idea! I really love the comic book theme, and I think the red is just right! Thanks for sharing this! *starts eyeing furniture*
ReplyDeleteIf you do something take pics of the steps and post it :)
DeleteThis came out fantastic Sharon! I love it. I've been wanting to do this with just plain old book pages and a book shelf.
ReplyDeleteI thought about using book pages but I wanted to add a pop of color o the office :) be sure to post pics!
DeleteThat does look a lot of fun! I could use swag for this purpose I think. What will you put into that cabinet?
ReplyDelete*snort* author swag...and sheep swag :)
