I love zombie movies. My first date with Brian, I made the poor guy watch Dawn of the Dead and Shaun of the Dead.
A while back I saw a photo of a glass case that held a fake shotgun that said "in case of zombies break glass" (click here for my original inspiration). Of course, I wanted one. However, they were a promotional item for a videogame. Plus, the shotguns were fake, not at all useful if zombies actually were going to attack.
I tried to see if I could buy one of those fire cases that hold fire extinguishers and fire blankets and just adapt it. Those boxes, it turns out, cost at least a hundred dollars. I decided to take matters into my own hands and build myself an emergency box to prepare for the zombie apocalypse.
I bought a frame for a few bucks from a discount store and hand painted the glass:

The objects surrounding the glass were part of my "cat deterrence system." Oddly it worked. Livia prefers to sit on my paper projects anyways.
I built a box out of lumber from the hardware store. The back of the box the back of a frame from the "as is" section of IKEA. The hooks are from IKEA too:
I spray painted the whole thing black and put the axe in it:
Yes, it is a real axe. I popped the photo frame and glass onto the front of the box and here's the finished product:
It is a couple feet tall, about a foot wide and 3 inches deep. I love it. No zombie will dare mess with me.
