A Pharmacy of Your Own
Why spend hundreds of dollars on a medicine cabinet if you do not want to? Instead, grab a pen and some paper and design your own.
- First, draw your idea for the cabinet.
- Once you have a picture, measure the wall with a tape measure. Write down the width and length. Also, figure the number and width of shelves.
- Don’t worry about using power tools –There is no need. Head to the lumber yard and ask for the cuts you want. Top, sides and back mounting. If there is a door, have these cut at the same time, this way all that’s left is assembly. Place everything in a packing box to keep track of all you will need.
- Using glue, a drill and screws, assemble the pieces. If the door is to have a mirror then order this now at the nearest glass shop.
- Purchase hardware such as fasteners, hinges and knobs too.
- Once the the cabinet is built, sand everything using first a heavy, then a light grit sandpaper.
- Next, prime the cabinet, preferably one that includes some sort of stain resistance, then paint it and lastly install any hardware and the mirror.
- Once this is complete it is then ready to be mounted.
