Cabinet Fun

It is finished and hanging in my bathroom. What fun! There are monkeys hanging by their tails from the towel bar and of course my circus/carnival decoupage. Now to fill it with things like all of my vitamins that are now sitting in an open bowl on the sink counter. Must be removed to prevent little grandson hands from ever getting into them. I'm on the hunt for a unique glass container for the pills. One that is open topped so vitamins are easy to access.
In addition to practical contents, there are and will be frivolous contents (my favorites). I already have a little Kewpie doll, other primates, a blue glass bunny from the flea market and a small elephant onto which I painted a little read mask around his eyes. My favorite perfume also now resides therein.
In review: This cabinet was purchased for $20 at a flea market. It was brown and had a glass mirror in the front. I repainted, decoupaged it and ordered a piece of glass for the door. I made my own door knob using a wooden ball from the hobby store that had a hole already drilled in the bottom. My hubby helped me find the right size screw to fit the door. I painted it red and added googly eyes.
