Step daughter and her hubby has a gun cabinet no longer used and asked if I could do a little something to recreate life back into it. Asked a few questions and let my gears turn.
Pre-redesign:
With the glass broken, and them no longer wanting glass, I needed to come up with plan B. They live on a farm, so with my other ideas for internal changes, I'd have pretty much what I needed to re-design the door into an early style screen door. I used metal screen after adding a crossbar, then trimmed over the edges. Added an upper shelf for the babys medicines, drop to another added shelf for wine glasses, spaced and faced the upper barrel support for shot glasses. Then another shelf added for Moms medicine (wine bottles) and retained the lower for dads stash. All added wood stained with walnut stain to closely match original cabinet. Not a lot of work, and I most definitely am not a cabinet maker, but I thought it turned out pretty well. Their "now" medicine cabinet:
