If your bathroom vanity features plain recessed-panel cabinet doors, swapping out the center panels for rustic chicken wire instantly lightens the visual weight of the furniture and adds immediate country charm while keeping extra toilet paper and cleaning supplies breathable and visible.
- How to Make It: Remove your bathroom vanity cabinet doors from their hinges. Carefully cut out the flat center panel of each door using a jigsaw or router, leaving the outer frame intact. Measure the opening and cut a piece of galvanized chicken wire to size using heavy-duty wire cutters. Staple the chicken wire securely to the back recess of the door frame, and finish the raw edges with thin wooden quarter-round molding. Reattach the doors.
- Tips and Variations: Spray paint the chicken wire matte black for a modern farmhouse aesthetic, or leave it galvanized for a traditional industrial-rustic look.
- Needs to Make That Thing: Vanity doors, jigsaw, galvanized chicken wire, heavy-duty wire cutters, staple gun, thin wood molding, finishing nails, and paint or stain.
