I built this storage cabinet to hold my wife's sewing machine and related accessories and supplies. It's made of 3/4" maple plywood with solid maple trim. It's roughly 39" wide and tall and 12" deep and has two adjustable shelves.
Each door is a plywood slab with two inlaid metal tiles, maple 'X' accent inlay strips, and maple trim. The door pulls are from Hickory Hardware (Streamline HH075280FO).
The metal tiles are the focal point of the cabinet. We bought them about 16 years ago from Carina Works in Austin, Texas (sadly, no longer in business as far as I can tell), and we've always loved them. We used them for a wall art project for our kitchen. We replaced that display with a photo gallery wall earlier this year, and we're glad we could reuse a few of our favorite tiles.
The finish is General Finishes Polyurethane Water Based Topcoat (flat sheen) toned with GF Water Based Whitewash stain. For the black pieces, I used Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch 2x Flat Black spray paint.
