Revive an old filing cabinet

Choose a wallpaper design to cover the cabinet, then remove the drawers and handles. Measure drawer fronts and cut paper to size. Spray drawer fronts with adhesive, then cover with cut paper and smooth with a cloth. Trim any excess paper with a blade. Cover the top and sides of cabinet using the same method. Apply a water-based top coat to seal. When dry, reinsert drawers and reattach handles.
