I thought of you when I saw this... but you don't have a cat... It is sort of a clever way to use what is a nice "piece of furniture" that no longer has a purpose.I literally grew up in a TV shop. Could have gotten these cabinets all day long.
We remodeled a New York hotel lobby back in the 80's that had a bank of ornate wood phone booths like you see in the old black and white movies. I told the GC to save me three or four of them. He called me and said they were like one big piece and they couldn't figure a way to demo them without destroying them or taking days. He said I could come take them apart but he could only give me a week. Couldn't take the time off and after a round trip ticket that would be a chunk of change. I still wish I had one of those.I always thought it would be great to have a wooden phone booth in the corner.
Paint it blue.
