someone should be making these and put them on ebay or in shops
One concern is watch out for light on your juice
But I love it and might modify a smaller antique cabinet to do something similar

Is the artwork painted on the glass or using stained glass work?

But there is another option as well. You can buy window film in all kinds of patterns pretty cheap. That is what I would do as I am no artist :)

Back in the 70s there were kits to make plastic stained 'glass'. Came with a frame and various colored plastic beads that you placed in the appropriate spaces in the frame. Baked it in a standard home oven... Results were no where near real stained glass, but more real looking than a decal. No idea if they even still sell such things. Might have been outlawed with lawn darts and clackers.

I remember those ....in fact I did a few of them. Not so pretty but was fun. Window film is so much nicer and easier to do. I have used window film for most of my windows in my apartment as it allows light to come through but private as well.

With everything that I will be ordering for Black Friday Im gonna have to build another one. A bigger one yes.. Im thinking dbl door, triple shelf, back mirror with either small light or black light... Definitely made out of Cedar though... Not the thick stuff this one is made of. Dont get me wrong. I have patted myself on the back for this one many times and I thank all of you for the compliments but I know I can do better... Time to design and blue print another one.
