Thank you so much ❤️

Your Ingenuity is beautiful 🪶🌻🤎

[@ourfreedomsong]

So sweet! Thank you so much ❤️

[@sheEerahHh]

hot sauce looks delicious! you could always put a liner on the inside (breathable, like grow bag material) if you're concerned about the rust.

[@ourfreedomsong]

Absolutely! Great idea!

[@giabrooks2717]

Wow, so beautiful; I must try repurposing file cabinets as planters. Fantastic garden and excellent work. 😇

[@ourfreedomsong]

I'm so happy you will try this!!!! Thank youuu ❤️

Recycling at its best :) thanks for sharing.

Thank youuu!!! 😍

[@nursebarb1120]

I made one this past Spring and I love it! We put it in our fire pit area with flowers in it. We were just going to donate our filing cabinet to the thrift store.... Now it has a new life! We painted our black also😊 such a great idea!

[@ourfreedomsong]

Awww I LOVE this!

[@carleanr4051]

So Cool!

@carleanr4051 thank YOUUUU! So simple right?!

@@ourfreedomsong yessss! I’m reading up on my rust concerns and upon researching, it’s seems to be no need for concern; that rust is a naturally occurring chemical and was used as a garden hack back in the day… go figure 🤣

[@Angie-ci1lp]

Yesssss! I’m thinking about doing this next to my property line. Awesome idea

[@ourfreedomsong]

YASSS! That would be incredible! 😍

[@theresaburg5881]

What a neat idea. The coffee pot from the one smaller cabinet would make a nice planter as well.

[@ourfreedomsong]

Ahhhh! I didn't even think of that! Such a cute idea!!!✨

Cabinet looks great❤! Love the idea to leave the wood unfinished. Recently upcycled a plastic shelving unit a neighbor put on the street. Grabbed it, put holes in it. No paint needed. Started a new 10 x 9 garden area in the backyard! Couldn't be happier. Starting my fall garden in it. Gardeners have an eye for upcycling 😊😊😊!

[@ourfreedomsong]

That is AMAZING!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Great find !!!! 😍

[@ReasonsWhy5]

It turned out nice. More space to grow is always a plus.🌱 And the price was right!💲😊

[@ourfreedomsong]

YASSSS!! Thank you! ❤️

[@madirobinson3156]

It really does look absolutely beautiful, but I do have one concern and that’s the rust inside that filing cabinet. Will that be harmful?

[@luvelyjay]

I was thinking the exact same thing. That’s going to leech into whatever you’re growing. Not healthy.

[@ourfreedomsong]

From what I have researched the rust is actually not harmful to plants! Of course do your own research but some even indicated that it could even add beneficial organic matter to the soil. 🤷🏾‍♀️... To each it's own but I didn't want to paint the cabinet on the inside because I know that paint chemical would be more of a problem than the rust. Happy Gardening 🫶🏾

Hey BEAUTIFUL LADIES the planter is Awesome. What a great idea for a planter. I LOVE it. Take care see y'all next time.

I've always loved your file cabinet containers. I'll be on the lookout for some. Thanks for sharing how you've beautified them. I'll be adding this to my project to-do list. I'll take a stab at making my own hot sauce, too. I'll use the jalapenos I'm growing. Yummy, yum, yum 😂. ❤❤❤

[@ourfreedomsong]

Yum! You are going to love it!!! And I'm so happy that you will keep your eye out for some file cabinets!

@@ourfreedomsong I would also be interested in any recipes you want to share.

[@mrslsix]

Great idea. I used a file cabinet for tool storage. Turned on its side it great for tall yard tolls,( shovels & and rakes) using the drawer dividers as sections. What do you do with the drawers?

[@ourfreedomsong]

Wow! I love your ideas!!! We've used the drawers for parts .... The sliding mechanism is great to reuse!

[@AfrosandArtichokes]

Absolutely Beautiful! Question: I hope this doesn’t sound crazy, but what about the rust on the inside?

[@ourfreedomsong]

Not at all! From what I understand rust won't hurt our plants! Which is why I left it bare.... I'm concerned that the paint may leech into the soil though... And being a chemical, could over time cause issues. Great question! Thank you for chiming in ❤️❤️❤️

Heyyyy!! Thank youuuuu! I actually haven't! The shape is so odd... I think the last set we had, Thomas ended up taking the sliding mechanism off to reuse!

@ourfreedomsong If you get enough of the same drawers, you can make a metal bed around a tree... just line them up, fill them up and watch your flowers grow
