A card catalogue BIG TIME up-cycled!!! {Anddddd boyyyy would I love for you to go and vote!!}

Hello wonderful blog friends!  

I had some fun up-cycling this week!!!!

It is fun to be part of American Crafter because it is inspiring me to do projects that I have been putting off----- likkkee this one! 

The themes of this weeks challenge was "House of Order" 

Anddd if there is one area that I am constantly trying to organize more it is my craft space!!!

Sooooo I up-cycled this guy:

I really really would love for you to go over to this weeks challenge and vote!!!!

And check out the other amazingly inspiring project because----I don't know about you, but I can always use organization inspiration!!

Buttt before you do, let me show you some of the details of my organization project!!!

This treasure sure didn't start out as a treasure... it started out as a blue beast that was free on the side of the road!!

The blue beast weights about a million pounds but was worth the struggle to move it

{like seriously my hubby almost made me leave it behind when we found it because it was SOOO hard to lift---good thing I am very persuasive!}

Because I really really like the final product!

anddd it was so fun to up-cycle!

{a little time consuming.... buttt fun anyways!  I mean when ANYTHING has twelve drawers is going to be a "project"}

 I started out by painting each drawer and the outside white

and then I just used good ol mod podge to secure and cover all of the paper on the sides

and then I used black ink and a sponge to "distress" and highlight each drawer and the sides of file cabinet.

I even took time to line the drawers!!!

and it is amazing how quickly I was able to fill and organize the drawers!

It really made all of the work worth it!!!

Ohhh andddd I had some fun spray painting some magnets to help me stay even more organized!

{I even made some flower magnets--fun right?!?}

What do you think? 

Would you have taken the time to clean and up-cycle the card catalogue?!???

I would LOVEEEE if you would head over to vote for your favorite organization project at American Crafter!!

I am linking up at a few of my favorite parties!!!
