This natural-looking, contemporary medicine cabinet with side shelves and mirror is fairly easy to create. 

Measuring 24" x 36", this elegantly proportioned medicine cabinet includes adjustable 3 ¾" shelves. Use pine plywood which you can then stain, but if you prefer to paint your cabinet, you can just as easily use MDF. Slender metal tubes match the mirror for shine, compliment the knotty pine and can be used to hang your facecloths. The bevelled mirror is attached to the cabinet with silicone adhesive.
