Decorative Molding for Kitchen Cabinets; Doors with Crown - Hi guys today I want to talk about a recent kitchen cabinet update we recently did... previously we had these ugly flat yellowing laminate cabinets that we would either have to replace or have someone coming in here and update, so we decided to do it ourselves so what we did on is we we found a way to update the cabinets and make the kitchen your more modern without actually replacing anything and we decided to do that because everything already fit the hinges all lined up in such if we got new doors we have to drill new holes and make everything work and it was a lot easier to do it this. So what we actually did what we did is we actually went out to our local home improvement store and I purchased two-and-a-half inch by one quarter-inch pine slatted wooden and I cut them it till length for each one of the cabinet doors sanded the laminate surface the entire laminate surfaces every door with a belt sander and then glue who did the would directly onto the laminate surface just with a contractor.
I think it was hard as nails contractor adhesive I had to clamp the mall down all the way round the doors and leave overnight about 24 hours. Adding crown molding to existing kitchen cabinets after that on I went ahead and i reset and did all the wood so that each individual piece would line up nice and smooth and we didn't have any gaps between um once that was done how was able to lay the doors out and paint each one of them and then we were brought him back up stairs put all the hinges back on everything already lined up because it was the same door hang them up and then just added a couple door handles here and oh well off we've got completely new cabinets for the pain on the bottom we used a dark grey this is a bear I Marky bear being Home Depot's brand our marquee paint the I have the style is peppery it's a peppery gray paint on that we use for the bottom its their premium top quality paint so we figured that it would stand up well it's intended stand up well to you arm scrubbing and in cleaning on the top we actually use the kitchen and bath paint from Dutch boy and we just went with their ultra white semi-gloss paint yet as I'm the right out of the can didn't actually makes any other color into it so we got that really bright white arm again the kitchen and bath various couple very I will really stand up to t kitchen use with you know dirty fingers in such touching touching the cabinet doors okay so I hope that this is hokey out given you.
