This apothecary cabinet comes with a shelf for the center middle and a drawer for the center bottom -- I have left both of these out. I glued the pieces together with white craft glue and allowed to dry.
I wanted the hinge holes set before I painted or papered (haven't decided which way to go yet). I laid the hinges in place, marked the brad holes with a pencil, then used a tool to poke the holes. I attached them to make sure the cabinet doors hung evenly, then removed for later use.
I measured the harlequin paper for the back center and painted all sides with black acrylic paint.
In this next photo I have attached the back harlequin paper and the door front/side papers. This allowed me to attach the hinges permanently. Now that it stands, I gathered bits and started the inside design. During this, I realized I wanted to paper the insides.
The papers are cut and scored, but I added front door handle holes first. (I didn't end up using the handles but was able to disguise the holes on the front with black Dresden trim.)
In this photo, I've added the inside papers with Mod Podge. After that dried, I coated all sides with matte varnish. Time to fill the shelves!
