This ugly (though in good shape) filing cabinet was a steal at a garage sale for $5. Its for my boyfriend's 'office' so I chose a black gloss to paint it. After sanding and washing I used a small roller on most of it, finishing it up with a brush. I polished up the aluminum handles with some metal polish to take off some rust and make them extra bright. Its not perfect by any means, but its a lot better than rusty and gray! The final step is making cute labels for the drawers once my honey figures out what he wants them to say!
