So, being an math/science person means I will either be compulsively organized or incapable of maintaining any pattern of organization that makes sense to anyone other than myself. And, I can tell you with all honesty that I tend towards clutter. As a result, I try to combat my natural born tendencies by getting large quantities of organization trays, boxes and anything else I can use for "out of sight, out of mind". Well I came accross a fairly hideous and obviously well used organizer at an auction, but the shape and draws had a charm. I ended up purchasing that and its metal (also in need of a face-lift) brother for $4 for the pair. I decided to clean and spray paint them. I mean why not have a set of custom organizers that will be whatever set of colors I decide. Both Organizers can be seen below.
I then soaked and scrubbed the grey one in warm soapy water to get most of the stickers off. I should not that while removing said stickers, I was also sending vivid pictures of anger to the person who had decided to use said sticker on the box. After that was done, the drawers were removed and the first coat of black spray paint was applied.
It already looked a lot better, as the yellowing and fading of its original color were no longer visible. I then took the drawers and began spray painting them one of three colors I had already chosen.
Once all the drawers were spray painted, I reassembled them.
