How to tart up my filing drawers?

[AnyDream]

You could paint it a really wild colour, then get one of those silhouette wall stickers (you know, looks like a swirly thing or a cherry blossom tree, but in silhouette) and stick them all the way up the front. Then add a lamp with a really groovy shade on the top.

Great ideas everyone! Looking at Martha's .com now, I love Martha stuff too Tinks!

MD, when I read your post, I thought hot pink paint and a cherry blossom tree! Not sure if I'm that game though.... And I think I may be moving my printer/scanner on top of it (if the cables will reach), so maybe no room for a lamp... But a great idea. It's kind of like the hallway where its going to go (and directly inline with the front door, in front of a mirrored wall), so the lamp is only really visible when you come in the door.

Hehe funny you thought of hot pink, I envisoned a lovely deep shade of fuscia! LOL Go on, be game, it will be a talking point!

I say hot pink, you say fuchsia!

I was going to say that if I can't put a lamp on the top, I may put a small crystal collection or some other equally wonderful spiritual display on there. (Sharing the space with my printer )

I say hot pink, you say fuchsia!

Yeah, except you spell it properly

You could cover the printer with a really nice cloth (when it's not in use) so you get like a stepped display.

BTW your avvy is *gorgeous*

THANKS MD! I love your avi too.

Lol, I used spell check, because I had about three attempts at it and couldn't quite get it right! fuscia... fushia.... Lol

I was going to cover the printer anyway (it is now), with something pretty. I can't put too much on the top of the printer as its the lid for the scanner (but atm its got a stack of picture frames and books on it, so it can't be too bad - I HOPE!). I'll have to have a play around with what I put there. I just realised, where its going to go is almost the dead centre of the house.... calls for it to be the centre of positive things for the house I think.

I was looking around online for a cherry blossom tree, found a couple... I will have to make a space outside to work on the cabinet too.
