as a carpenter may i just say you did an amazing job and let me tell you that the best tip you gave was the cleaning and sanding the cabinet door and the 2 coats of primer because like you said, its laminate and paint wont stick very good on laminate So by sanding it a little bit and doing 2 coats of primer, it really helps for the paints to stick on the cabinet Great job

What about the streaks from the paint brush strokes? How do we avoid that from happening?

As a designer/builder, I appreciate your hard work. My suggestion would be for you to use a roller for cabinet doors. It makes for a much smoother finish and no brush marks.

Great job! I’m so pleased to see someone work cleverly with what they have, instead of trashing the old and buying all new.

THANK YOU FOR THIS!! I thought there was no way I’d be able to update my laminate cabinets without being able to afford new ones. This is amazing. Can’t wait to try this.

Very nice work, it's nice to see someone reonvating without a sludge hammer!!! Thanks for keeping it real for those of us not made of money. R

Fantastic transformation! Added thousands of $$ in value to your mom's house.

I did all of my kitchen cabinets with slats from old window blinds. You can't tell they didn't come that way.

Like the 2” wood blinds?? If so did you use wood filler on the sting holes?

@goofyfoot2001 Brilliant! I need to see how that turned out!

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you! I have a house that’s needs a lot of work ... you just helped with the budget ! Thank you !!🙏

Looks good. Only suggestion is when you spread the glue when adding the trim you can get a really strong bond by spreading the glue with a brush in both the door and the back of the wood. This will hold it over time as moisture causes the wood the change shape. That said the nails will help it stay in place. Thanks for the video.

Nice idea! Another thing you can do with older cabinets while doing this kind of project is use bondo for patching cracks and chips, etc. it’s very strong and sandable, and since you’re painting it anyway it’s a great way to cover damage. Great job. Thanks for sharing.

The cabinets look brand new-a great idea in update. Btw, lovin the haircut. Thanks for sharing.

Yessssss! I’m SO GLAD I found this video (and heck yes I subscribed). I have been trying to find a solution for our awful cabinets and this is ITTTT!!! Can’t wait to surprise my hubs when he gets home from deployment ❤️🔥

This was EXACTLY what I looking for! Thank you! We just bought a home that the cabinets are in good shape, but they aren’t the style I like. I can’t wait to start!!!

I’m so glad I ran across your video! I had been wanting to update my laundry room, which has the same type of cabinets that were in your mom’s kitchen, but I didn’t want to spend a lot of money! Love your idea of adding stiles and turning them into a shaker style. The finished product is gorgeous! Thank you for such a great and economical way to upgrade cabinets! God bless you!!

I did this once in a house I used to own, but instead of using expensive 1/4" poplar, I bought 1/4" luan plywood (basically thin mahogany plywood) and cut it into 2" strips and used that instead. The trick is that you do have to putty up the edges a lot to keep it from looking like you just glued plywood to your doors, but it sands up really nice if you have a belt sander.

After searching DIY video after video, everything I found yours to be exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so Much!!! Simple and easy to understand. You're a life saver ❤

Absolutely inspirational! We just bought an old house and I was feeling overwhelmed after watching some other videos. I'm so excited after seeing YOUR video! It finally seems doable! Much love from Wisconsin! ❤❤❤

Thank you for sharing this information...sometimes the professionals who give you tips, videotape or share is if you already have some common knowledge of this process This by far was the BEST demonstration EVER!!! Thank you so much

Amazing! What a fabulous idea to repurpose and reuse and save money in the process! Thank you for sharing your wonderful talents! ❤️

I think KZread is sleeping on you as a creator. This is a fantastic video. I really appreciate your creativity and attention to detail! 💜

WOW! I am sooo Glad I came across this video. So beautiful and affordable. Thanks so much for sharing.

OMG!!This the video I have been looking for for so long. Thank you!!

Thank you so much for this video, my husband and I have been wanting to change our cupboard doors to shaker style and now we can!

That was wonderful. I would have never thought of that. How to change those cabinets was one of the best ideas I have seen.

Yes! You are genius! Thank you for creating this tutorial! ❤️

Thank you for making such a detailed & informative tutorial❣️

thank you for your content, I have the same cabinets and my wife and I will do this soon.

Oh my gosh! I am so happy that I found you! I was just telling my husband that I wanted to do this with our kitchen cabinets. I am totally doing this!

I have been working on my kitchen since last summer after watching you refurbish those cabinets that’s what I will try on my cabinets. Thank you

You did a great job! For all you DIY’ers most cabinets are bevel or have rounded edges (mine have a big drop) I suggest to bring in wood a little to match right before it curves down (right at edge before slope). It’s what we had to do and so far looks really good! The final out come is dramatic for this video! 👍🤩

Ms. Nikki, you don't know how long I been looking for something like this. My home is old and you should see the cabinets they made out of old panel wood. Well I had been trying to figure out how to redo my kitchen on a budget and this is the idea I had but men were telling me I couldn't do it. I needed to just buy an entire new kitchen which would cost almost 40,000 at lowes. I said no and kept looking and now I will transform my kitchen as you have shown me how. Thank you so much. I wish I knew people in person to teach me how to use tools, I'd be doing so much more.

Thank you for showing this. I now have hope for my outdated kitchen cabinets!!! Thank you for making it simple.

Amazing work! Your such an inspiration!

I have been planning to do this very thing! So glad I found your video cause now I know it will look good. Thank you so much!

Nice job! I will be doing mine the same way. Really like the shaker idea. Great straight to the point presentation.

I have exacly the same doors. This looks so easy. Thank ypu for showing us how to do this project. God bless you.

I am going to do this to mine!!! You did a great job!!

Looks amazing! You just gave me a lot of motivation. Thank you.

Beautiful job indeed! Thanks for sharing!

This is exactly what I needed! Thank you so much! Amazing video!!!!

Nice! And so is the completed kitchen.

Thank you for the video. I am remodeling my mobile home and was just about to purchase new cabinets. My husband and I have already sanded and primed the existing cabinets. We will apply paint today when they dry.

Thank you do much for sharing this! Super helpful!!

Beautiful. Turned out amazing.

This is a GENIUS IDEA!! Thanks for this video!!

love this tutorial! You have a new subbie! I cant wait to update my kitchen. I love your channel!

im so impressed how supposed unprofessional carpenters, handy people and creative DIYers can make and remodel most home related things and handle power tools like pros.....very impressive.

Love this! I think, when I do this, I’m going to bevel the corners for a bit of a better look. It’s easy to do with the miter saw she used

Great video! Answered a lot of questions I had. Thanks!

You did a great job! I am actually doing this in my kitchen. I was not prepared for the problem I am having finding new hardware. My old cabinets had hinges on the outside of the cabinet door and face. Well, adding the wood made the cabinet door not level with the cabinet face.....now the hunt is on for hinges but I love the way the new cabinet doors look. Thanks for the great idea.

Thank you for making such a straight forward video. Amazing and doing ❤️

Nessie you rock! Really nice video and Instructions, thank you😊

That is one of the nicest work benches I have ever seen. Great video.

Oh girl, you did what I was looking for Thank you .. you are a smart girl good luck with your mom's project because I have same project what a great video

OMGness!! This is the exact video I have been looking for!! Job well done and thanks so much for such wonderful job on this kitchen! :-)

Thank you for sharing! Im looking at a potential flip property that has those same old cabinets. This gave me exactly what I needed to keep from completely replacing them.

Very nice work, and very economical upgrade!

Awesome job and you made it look to easy! Im ready to start mine now 🤗❤️

Perfect! Thanks for sharing 😘

Brilliant absolutely brilliant!!

wow! I will be doing this in a few weeks! We have laminate kitchen cabinets in our condo we're updating to resell and honestly it's been giving me a lot of stress thinking about spending all the $$ on new cabinets. But I love DIY projects and am totally willing to take this on!

That looks very nice. Thanks for that perfect tip. I’m going to do that on my new house.

Great work and technique to save the existing cabinet. Nice!

Thank you thank you thank you. I thought it might be that and you proved 100 percent correct. Thanks for doing this. I will start this project tmrw!!!!

So nice, thanks for sharing this i have been looking for this exact style to update my cabinets!

Awesome idea and great work!!!!

I wanted to let you know that I did this very thing to my 70’s cabinets and my realtor said it increased my kitchen price by 15k! I did the work myself and used $500 in material. Thank you for showing me how to do this.

Looks good. I did something similar on a mantle that I built. What looks great is finding a half-round trim of the same depth as your shaker strips. lining the inside with the half-round gives it a smoother transition into the cabinet face and bit of a fancier look. If the cabinet door is bigger you can add a center strip to break it into two trimmed "windows"

Thanks. That was an easy way to do. I have done my cabinets and they look great.

This was awesome! Thanks. Love the kitchen too.

I love this video, needed this easy step to video for inspo! Thanks Babe!

Great job. I'll be following your example for my kitchen and main bathroom! Thanks.

What a great idea!

Amazing! I love it! I WILL be so ing this in my kitchen too!! ❤️❤️
