Pair a flea-market painting with an old metal medicine cabinet and what will you have? A seriously clever secret storage cabinet! I think this is such a cute idea that I can't stop thinking about just where to put mine!"How To" text via Country Living:
Step 1: If the cabinet has a mirrored front, carefully remove the glass (be sure to wear gloves, as you may have to break the glass). Additionally, your painting's wooden frame should measure at least 3/4" think and overlap the cabinet door's surface by at least an inch on all four sides.
Step 2: Lay your painting facedown on a flat surface, then center your cabinet facedown atop the painting. Use a pencil to mark the cabinet's edges on the back of the frame.
Step 3: With the cabinet still resting on the painting, open it up to expose the back side of the door. Use a permanent marker to mark a dot in each corner of the door, making sure the dots align with the thickest part of the frame.
Step 4: Lift the cabinet off the painting and lay the cabinet facedown atop a piece of scrap wood. Drill a hole at each of the marked dots, then place the cabinet on top of the painting again, aligning it with the pencil marks on the back of the frame.
Step 5: Use a drill to drive 3/4" screws through the door holes into the frame.
Step 6: Mount the unit to the wall using the premade holes in the cabinet's back. If holes don't exist, drill on in each corner.
