Everything premade was so standard and boring and lacked originality. I drug my twin along with me and we walked around for an hour at one of our favorite local antique malls . I’m so glad she was with me because she ended up spotting the craziest item that ended up making this cabinet perfect! vintage window to create a chippy but sturdy bathroom cabinet.
