Thanks! Hi Shel, welcome back! I was almost ready to send you a get well present. Still might..... Anyway. I like what you have in mind, but how to ventilate it will be the challenge. What I would do is to put the drawers on the bottom of the cabinet, thereby putting the pretty stuff in better view. I would make the drawer bottoms out of pegboaard, which will allow air to flow past into the main compartment. Put a furnace filter on the bottom with a computer fan pushing air into the cabinet and your ventilation problems are fixed also. Depending on how humid Northern California is, you could even use a dehumidifier as the source of air, ducting it into the cabinet, thereby supplying the cabinet with clean and dry air.
