I ran across this really amazing repurposed project today that I had to share with everyone.  How many times have you come across an old file cabinet that is just a bit *too* rusty, gunky, or broken to use in your home or office?  I see them all the time and never thought twice.  But after seeing this new project featured on Design*Sponge, my head is already whirling with ideas for next year’s garden.
