An oak filing cabinet makes a nice addition to your home office. It is a solid piece of furniture that has a very utilitarian purpose. Not only can you store traditional paper files in your oak file cabinet, but, it can also double as a storage unit. Instead of using an oak filing cabinet in your office, dress it up a little and place it any where in the house.
Oak is a very attractive and strong wood that can be stained or painted. With a little creativity and artistic interpretation, you can turn a simple file cabinet in to a work of art.
One fun project that can turn a boring oak filing cabinet in to a unique storage unit requires little more than a paint brush and some paint. Any sized cabinet will work just fine. Get yourself some high gloss paint in several different bright colors. Get one color for each drawer. Make sure the cabinet is empty so you can move it around without too much of a struggle. Take the cabinet out on the porch and set it on an old sheet or drop cloth.
Paint each drawer a different color and pay attention to the color wheel so you have complimentary colors close to each other. In other words, you might try several different shades of blue or blend in orange, yellow and lime green to get an interesting effect. Before you actually start painting, try to tape off the cabinet so it is divided in to equal sections. You will be painting the entire cabinet so you want a perfectly straight line all the way around that is even with the top of each drawer.
Now apply the first color of paint to the top drawer and work it all around the sides and back. Once you have completely encompassed the top section, select the next color and repeat the process. Make sure that you keep the lines perfectly horizontal so there are no uneven edges. Continue the process so that every drawer has a different color. If the file cabinet has handles, you can paint them in a different color. Don't forget to paint the top of the cabinet.
After the paint has had time to dry, take a can of polyurethane and give it a few coats. This will protect the finish and keep the cabinet looking good for a long time.
Your customized filing cabinet makes a great storage unit for a kid's room. The drawers are large enough to store toys and they are easy to open and shut even when fully loaded. Your child will now have a place to keep their toys and will enjoy the colorful oak cabinet.
