We collect vintage wallpaper so it won't be hard to pick one for this simple project. We have a couple Fira chest of drawers from Ikea, but we would love to give them a new look. You can check out Benita's step by step instructions on her blog. If you are interested in matching a few file folders to match the drawers read her Wall Paper Project #3. Good luck!

You know I just realized that I have an extra one of these, and basically just what I was looking for for storing blood draw tubes at work....I work in a clinic.

love the first photo.

one of these is on my list next time i am at ikea. Been on the fence for awhile but I need to organize a lot of stuff on my desk. Cameras, chargers, gps, cables, ipods, etc.

The first one looks like they did transfers on it which looks great, I am planning on doing really simple graphic shapes of the item that goes inside and cutting it out from vinyl and sticking it on. I like the raw wood look as is of the rest of the drawers.
