AhavahArielSacredArts, Update - We got stain grade wood panels at Lowes finally for the new cabinet's doors, and I got some backsplash panels in a tin design.
The tin style panels I painstakingly put dozens of holes into for air flow, rather like an old style pie safe, so the laundry basket in there won't get moldy.
We do have one problem - my son heard a loud CRACK in the night, and it turned out one of the wood panels split. Not sure how to fix that.

Closeup of the tin panel door at the bottom of the linen cabinet. Here you can see the holes I made for air flow, following the circular design on the backsplash panels. We used a staple gun to attach the backsplash panels to the wood door frame we made. I used some packing tape to hold the panels together while the adhesive dried. It took two panels to make this door, as they only come in 18x24 size and the opening was 24x30.

Closeup of the split, which appears to be the boundary of two laminated pieces of wood that make up the panels. These were expensive panels, and I'm guessing the different in temperature and / or humidity between our house and the Lowes warehouse caused the split. I have no idea how to fix it. We may try sistering in a small strip on the back and using wood putty to fill the crack. I don't particularly want to have to buy a new panel and make another door.
