Red Cabinet

Help with commas in this sentence please?
Can’t figure out the correct punctuation in this sentence. Thanks for the help!
“Alexander’s mind then drifted to a day earlier when an open red cabinet had seemed to loom over him in the small Manhattan apartment counting down to destruction. ”
I don’t mind changing the sentence a bit if needed. For example making the counting part of an independent clause. That being said it needs to remain one sentence.
Thanks again!
