Pottery barn filing cabinet

I found this on Craigslist for $14.00. It was in great condition but was missing one of the upper drawers.

Here's the easy solution I came up with. I simply took out the drawer hardware and cut a piece of wood to fit inside. Then I painted the wood a grey blue color (left over paint from another project) and added some trim for the edge and glued it all down with wood glue. This only took a few minutes to do and I love that I have a functional cabinet now!
