Build this Apothecary Storage Cabinet from these detailed plans. Great for storing all sorts of things! This design is an up-to-date version of an American classic. In the days before pharmacy chains and mail-order prescription services, there was the local apothecary or pharmacist. This individual prepared all manner of remedies for ailments. And more often than not, he stored his antidotes in a cabinet very much like this one. And it holds its own as a home accent piece, too!
