Creative Bits | 18: File Cabinets Turned Storage Unit

It's time for another installment of Creative Bits! Today's bit has been circulating all over the blog world over the past week or so, but deservedly so (in my humble opinion). Take a look at these filing cabinets turned storage unit:


This chic industrial storage unit is a part of a house tour from Country Living. I can't help but love the happy yellow paint combined with the darkly stained wood top. This would be so easy for anyone to recreate - even those self-proclaimed non-DIYers. You'd just need to pick up three filing cabinets from your local thrift store, some happy-colored spray paint, and piece of plywood for the top (similar to the one I used for my DIY desk).

Just think about all the storage possibilities for this baby. You wouldn't have to use it for files. It'd make a great buffet in a dining room, a perfect sofa table, or even good storage for a mudroom. Any way you look at it, it's a super creative use of an otherwise boring office necessity.

If you do take on this project, just make sure that your thrifted file cabinets are the same height and have the same style drawer fronts (color doesn't matter, obviously, because you'll be painting them!). Also, before purchasing spray paint, check the label to be sure it's made for metal, otherwise it'll chip.

Hope y'all have a great week!

  2. ويتضمَّن مبدأ عَزل الأسطح ثلاثة عوامل، وهي: الإشعاع، والتوصيل، والحمل الحراريّ؛ فالتوصيل عبارة عن مَعبر تنتقلُ من خلاله الحرارة عَبر الموادّ، أمّا الحَمل الحراريّ، فهو عبارة عن دوران الحرارة عبر السوائل، والغازات؛ ولذلك يصعدُ الهواء الدافئ نحو الأعلى، ويبقى الهواء البارد في الأسفل بحيث يملأ المنزل، أمّا الإشعاع، فيعمل على انتقال الحرارة في خطٍّ مستقيم ليساعدَ على تدفئة أيّ شيء صلب يمرُّ من خلاله، ويَكمُنُ مبدأ عملِ الموادّ العازلة المشهورة في تقليل انبعاث الحرارة،؛ إذ إنّ العَزل، والأسطح العاكسة للحرارة تُقلِّل من اكتساب إشعاعات الحرارة؛ حيث يُستبدَل نظام التدفئة بالتبريد في فصل الصيف، أمّا في فصل الشتاء فالعكس صحيح.
