2. Repurposed Apothecary Cabinet in the Bathroom
A vintage apothecary cabinet, with its tiny, numerous drawers, was originally designed to organize medicinal herbs and potions. Today, these pieces are the ultimate solution for organizing the small, everyday items that clutter a bathroom vanity.
How to Make
Find a small apothecary-style cupboard or a “specimen” cabinet. Use it to store cotton rounds, makeup, hair accessories, and toiletries. Because these pieces are often made of dark, rich wood, they provide a beautiful, grounding contrast to the bright white fixtures common in modern bathrooms. If the piece is untreated, apply a light coat of beeswax to protect the wood from bathroom humidity.
Things Needed
- Vintage apothecary or multi-drawer cabinet
- Beeswax or wood oil
- Small labels for the drawers
