Oak Medicine Cabinet
We started to accumulate various vitamins and creams around our bathroom sink recently. We had a medicine cabinet in the washroom already, but it was rather full and we would loose track of certain items because there were multiple bottles deep in the cabinet.
Our solution was to have a shallow cabinet that would fit beside the bathroom door.
The cabinet design I came up with is a 5” deep cabinet with fixed shelves made with a sliding dovetail like in may other projects I made for the house recently. The height of the shelves are 7”. 7”, 5” and 3”.
Even though it is winter and I can’t spray outside, I decided to spray the lacquer finish in the garage in a pop up spray booth I purchased last year. It isn’t ideal, but I thought I would try it out.
I intended to centre the cabinet on that wall, but I couldn’t get 90 degree hinges right now so I had to compensate the location so it doesn’t hit the mirror. We are very happy with the results and love our new cabinet.
