Turn a $60 Computer Armoire Into a Cricut Craft Cabinet

I cleaned the entire armoire, as wells as all hardware, including the drawer slides for the drawers and shelves, and then I lightly sanded the armoire.Then I added shelving for my 12×12 vinyl sheets using plywood. I added the two vertical boards above the top shelf, and then cut and painted the plywood boards to create the shelves.
I then painted the area behind and above where the shelves were going, and then added in the shelving boards.
I then painted the remainder of the interior of the armoire, as well as the exterior.
I also painted the doors, all shelves, and then the drawer fronts on all drawers.
While those were drying, I used black spray paint to paint the hinges black.
Once the paint on the armoire had completely dried, I used weathered wood antiquing gel on the exterior of the armoire and on the front of the doors.
I then reassembled the drawers and shelves, and reinstalled the door hinges and doors. I put new hardware on the drawer front and on the doors, using black metal drawer pulls instead of the wood pulls that were on their before.
I installed peg boards and baskets on the doors to organize my crafting supplies, and I added in some desk organizers to organized pens, paper, markers, paintbrushes, and my Cricut tools. I also installed a monitor mount
Lastly, I added in all the organization supplies I had purchased and filled them with my craft supplies. I now have a compact but useful crafting cabinet in my living room that blends in with the other furniture! Here are some additional pics:
