The Homeschool Cabinet

Back in August, I was stalking Goodwill for a good cabinet to hold my homeschool books and supplies. It was getting closer and closer to the beginning of school and I wasn't finding anything good. Finally, about a week before school started, I found this one...

It wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but I figured that for $30 it would work... especially with a little love. So, I took it home and got to work with the priming and then painting.

I knew from the beginning that I wanted to line the back of the shelves with fabric, but after I got it all painted and put back together, I started using it and the fabric part got put off... and put off... and put off....

Well, last week, I finally ordered fabric and got it done! So now, six months later, here is my pretty homeschool cabinet, all finished.

I had a really hard time finding the perfect fabric, but I finally settled on this one here.
