Picked\u00a0 up this beauty\u00a0 at a garage sale for $5.00 a\u00a0 while back.\u00a0 It wasn’t much to look at, but it was all wood, and a decent size and shape.\u00a0 In all honesty I had no clue what I was going to do with it, but I couldn’t just pass it up!<\/p>\n

After a few weeks of walking past it in my\u00a0 garage,\u00a0 I started getting some ideas, and I really wanted my garage space back! So I\u00a0 jumped right in.<\/p>\n

This is not really a tutorial per-Se ,\u00a0 but you can follow along\u00a0 and see the steps I took to get there. \"Garage<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I started by dismantling the doors.<\/p>\n

\"Garage<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0 I then removed all the hardware. ( There was metal shelving brackets.)\"Garage<\/a><\/p>\n

Next,\u00a0 I removed the back panel, and then sanded down the entire unit. \u00a0 \"Garage<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I beefed up the base and the top to give it more visual weight.\u00a0 ( You can see more details about the basic premise here<\/span>.)\u00a0 <\/a><\/p>\n

\"Garage<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0 I then\u00a0 started\u00a0 trimming out all the corners and edges. (Again,\u00a0 you can see more details about this process, here.<\/span>)<\/p>\n

\"Garage\u00a0 <\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0Next step was the doors.\u00a0 I opted to go with the “Apothecary Cabinet” style. \"Garage\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0They are\u00a0 just\u00a0 faux drawer fronts, made to look like functioning apothecary drawers. \"Garage\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

See look how pretty!\u00a0 I used concealed hinges so that it would hide the fact that\u00a0 they aren’t real drawers.\u00a0 If you want more info on installing the doors you can see my
\n“Apothecary Cabinet<\/a>” tutorial. \"Garage<\/a><\/p>\n

Instead of making the entire cabinet hidden, I\u00a0 decided to add some exposed shelving.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"Garage<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0 I also added interior shelving , for practicality purposes.<\/p>\n

\"garage <\/a><\/p>\n

Now it’s time for the finishing touches.\u00a0 I stained it Jacobean by Minwax, and then added pulls that\u00a0 I found at Michaels!\u00a0 Nice, right ! ? \"Garage<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0I decided it needed a few last finishing touches.\u00a0 It needed crates!\u00a0 Just a couple of 1×2’s,\u00a0 1×3’s\u00a0 and handles! Voila, custom made crates. \"sawdust2stitches<\/a><\/p>\n

Look\u00a0 how pretty!\u00a0 \"Sawdust2stitches<\/a> With lots of great hidden storage!\u00a0 Perfection! \u00a0 \"Apothecary
