Instructions

1. 

   Gather your supplies. I used untreated wood magazine files from Ikea ($10 online), acrylic paint, and an assortment of paint brushes.

2. 

   Paint the inside and outside of the magazine files using large sponge paint brushes. I two coats of paint for the inside and three for the outside. After the outside has dried, use a smaller flat paint brush to add minimal contrasting patterns to the outsides.

3. 

   Fill the files up with your favorite magazines, sit back, and admire your pretty workspace. :)
