Just the right medicine....cabinet!

This week/months commissioned project was to build a medicine cabinet.  In black...out of an old window for the door and tin for the back.

A great client of mine who also hired me to do a custom cork and chalkboard asked me to build this to fit in her bathroom.

I had a great, salvaged window that was the perfect size to fit in the space and then I built the box around that.

She asked if it could have 2 shelves in it so I used some old salvaged barn boards for those.

To finish it off, because the door was glass, I asked if she would like the back to be tin (remember that great tin ceiling I rescued from the dumpster?).  I cleaned up a piece and attached it to the back.  It goes really well with the black finish, which I sanded off and distressed and then finished with a coat of furniture wax.

Here's the finished product:
