What could I do to an old medicine cabinet?
Hey guys. Hubby brought home this really old medicine cabinet. What would you guys suggest doing to it? I sanded the frame and turns out it’s pressboard. It’s got 2 light sockets on the top and a mirror on front which I removed before sanding. I need suggestions!!!

It sounds like paint would be your best option, Kelly.
Clean well, prime with Kilz primer, then paint.
The question seems to be asking "how to repurpose" it. Answers seem to be how to refinish it. Which are you asking? Paint is always the way and chalk paint doesn't need any prep work. Just put on two coats of your favorite color. If you are looking to repurpose, hang in the kitchen and put your spices in it. Add a towel bar at the bottom for your hand towel. Use in your craft shop for supplies, or add more shelving inside and use for a jewelry cabinet. Attach a piece of wood underneath and add hooks for necklaces.
