How to replace a 35 year old recessed (30x30) medicine cabinet?
by Joyce
We are remodeling our bathroom and we are removing the very outdated medicine cabinet. My husband wants one just like the one we are replacing and we can't find one the same size. You may say keep the one you have, well the shelves on the inside are rusty and the outside is so outdated. The other option is have a custom made, but that is very pricey.
Suggested Project Book
You could sand down the rust and spray paint with Rustoleum. You could go to this website they give a step by step on how to remove the medicine cabinet. https://www.doityourself.com/stry/how-to-remove-a-builtin-medicine-cabinet
A photo would help us see what you are up against.
You could frame out the area and add shelves. Then add a mirror on a set of hinges. It would be simple to do this, similar to this project but with a mirror covering it.
