Any kind of glass will work for this hack.  <br /><br />Take a solid upper door and on the back side of the door you will need a 1/4" route on all four sides of the FRAME to insert the glass. (if you look at the top of the door you can see the existing shelf for the wood center panel) you only route halfway into the depth of the door to expose the shelf for the glass.  <br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJthFuuaHLm7mrTLT5pfyYPZRSKIwhscz8Mi8nazKsHJaSOQDYG6Ixa0wIRdeEqPrpCL7D52I9DAJTQWpZbnsLCa6vG2HB6FlijwSBpxEtI3LXexXl3YV02H-LpFd91TJwSLlz5sX_KhrL/s1600/door+backside+compressed-744411.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566653191357341826" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJthFuuaHLm7mrTLT5pfyYPZRSKIwhscz8Mi8nazKsHJaSOQDYG6Ixa0wIRdeEqPrpCL7D52I9DAJTQWpZbnsLCa6vG2HB6FlijwSBpxEtI3LXexXl3YV02H-LpFd91TJwSLlz5sX_KhrL/s400/door+backside+compressed-744411.JPG" width="450" /></a></div><br />We went to a glass shop and had them cut the reed glass to the size we wanted. Get enough 1/4 round for the amount of doors you are doing.  We chose to stain the 1/4 round the same color as the door. <br />Once you have the glass and 1/4 round ready, lay the glass in the back of the door and carefully tack the 1/4 round into place on all four sides of the cabinet. Tack at an angle to get back into the wood.  Try and use the thinnest finish tack you can find.   <br /><br />Presto you have a unique glass in a basic IKEA cabinet.  <br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYTi0ej_G01eoI2pJvbfm2eQe7JHHaNM4tV-3Z-sUC3NHYtS1CYMH3Jpo4KyCrT7YAYgkVaq59MLA-ukL4GAQ6dDseKsLmUIKVBsnCLbwtV4WkQoBPQQJZc95xF3Nl7W3MvA8suX0LQupI/s1600/doors+%2526+plate+rack+compressed-749088.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566653207570372082" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYTi0ej_G01eoI2pJvbfm2eQe7JHHaNM4tV-3Z-sUC3NHYtS1CYMH3Jpo4KyCrT7YAYgkVaq59MLA-ukL4GAQ6dDseKsLmUIKVBsnCLbwtV4WkQoBPQQJZc95xF3Nl7W3MvA8suX0LQupI/s400/doors+%2526+plate+rack+compressed-749088.JPG" width="450" /></a></div><br />See more of the <a href="http://www.johnwebbs.com/viewcategory/68">cabinet with custom glass</a>. <br /><br />~ John Webb Construction & Design, Eugene, Oregon

(the back is more beat-up than the front) I removed the middle panel. <br /><br />I cut a mirror someone had thrown away because of a broken corner and cut it to the size of the middle panel. <br /><br />Insert the mirror and glue the top rail back in place. <br /><br />Also, below the mirror I used an Akurum kitchen 30" base cabinet. I actually bought this and the 2 15x30 Adel birch doors for an adult height bathroom sink. It also doubles as a slop sink in my basement.  <br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsKR0MyH4lZm5obnfhX-FSyowqd26Qy2434yYaG0EkvqiSjzPyUwTP97n6u0UmZUt7HmVBSR9fYOuIrviujOeP-T7_jtcDzH-9LQROgpGaQYE-EI9MgrKJ57yB6Pu_xm9Sok0u1i4t0WE/s1600/rsz_062-777910.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="640" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520880149064897842" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsKR0MyH4lZm5obnfhX-FSyowqd26Qy2434yYaG0EkvqiSjzPyUwTP97n6u0UmZUt7HmVBSR9fYOuIrviujOeP-T7_jtcDzH-9LQROgpGaQYE-EI9MgrKJ57yB6Pu_xm9Sok0u1i4t0WE/s640/rsz_062-777910.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br />I used some leftover granite tile pieces for the counter and an old porcelain cast iron sink.<br /><br />~ Peter Welles, Jersey City, NJ
