How to tart up my filing drawers?

Lol Jasp, just choose anything! Have a look at martha stewart dot com, in the home and garden diy decorating, and you might just have to redecorate a chair or two! I'm tempted...

You could use contact paper. I like snugglybeans idea with the fabric on magents. You can buy it in sheets.

Netix, How awesome is Martha?

I'm doing her foyer ideas, my entry hall is always cluttered and messy which drives me insane. I'm going to Ikea on Wed for some supplies........look out!!

I reckon you should go the fuschia with a black and light pink cherry blossom design and a beaded lamp on top. That sounds awesome.

I love Martha. I was going to go for that colour cherry blossom, with some white highlights to brighten it a little.

I haven't seen or heard of that fabric magnet stuff. Where do you get it from?

Was also thinking it would be nice to be able to let the kids put their magnets on it. Maybe. Would keep them out of the kitchen! The other thought I had was to cover the cabinet in timber veneer... oak or something else nice.... Still think I'll go fuschia though.

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.

AHa! Another feng shui/ home energy enthusiast! Enjoy your beautification!

Thought - why not make a u-shape wooden cover for the printer, that just slides over it? Then you could put a cloth etc on it, and it would be flat & stable ... You could even make a slide-out shelf for it (actually that could tip unless it was attached to the filing cabinet)

I do like the idea of using the cabinet as a chalkboard though!
