I've watch a dozen videos but yours is simple enough to make me want to do this.

The " before" picture looks exactly like my cabinets now. We redid them a few years ago by painting them that same exact brown over the old golden cabinet. Now there are areas just like yours that are starting to show through. Thanks for the new ideas!

Additional Notes: 1. A thin coat of construction adhesive should be applied to the underside of the shaker slats prior to nailing them to the cabinet doors. 2. NEVER use a screwdriver as a nail set (punch.) This tool abuse will eventually render the screwdriver unusable. Use a proper punch. 3. When applying putty over the nails, also apply putty along the inside of the shaker slats where they meet the original cabinet door surface and along the edges of the cabinet doors to preclude cracks that will be visible after the paint is applied.. 4. Prior to painting, when sanding the cabinet doors, also sand the edges of the doors, as well as the front surfaces, so that the added shaker slats are flush with the original cabinet door front surfaces and so that cracks are not visible after painting. 5. When attaching the cabinet door knobs/handles, use a screwdriver to tighten the screws from the inside of the door, holding the knob/handle firmly in place on the front side of the door, instead of turning the knob/handle.

Um he did use glue. The screw drivers is cheap and works great fir this. He did everything you mentioned... other than the new hardware...your step isn't necessary. Lol good grief. Pompous ass

You’re great at explaining! Thanks so much!

Unfortunately a lot of cabinets have bevel or rounded edges. I suggest if you are making shaker doors to bring wood in a little more to match right before it curves down. That’s what we had to do and ours are looking good. Good luck DIY’ers!

What do u do to the inside of the cabinet to make it look nice and like new

What did you use for the cracks on the sides? What product

Super

If I may, is the thickness of the wood 1/4"?

I was wondering if it’s possible to put the soft close hinges on these types of cabinet or am I stuck with the hinges you can see? Thank you for your help.

So respond back please u made this look great, just need a few new pointers about the inside of cabinets after outside looks so nice

What kind of wood did you use?

What did you do about the rounded edge? I seen you overhung the poplar strips but how did your rid of the gap?

@Bloody_RedQueen

Wood filler and a metal scraper or better yet, a metal carpenter's square. They're made at a perfect right angle, so you can run it over the edges after filling the bevel.

Better to make them a bit longer all around thecabinet, then router it smooth to the door

I noticed that the original doors were slightly beveled on the edges, leaving a small space underneath the edge of the wood slats that you placed on top for the frame...question.. did you fill in the space with filler or just paint over it all and leave it?

We left as is and painted over it. Gave it a nice side design that we liked. But you can fill it with wood putty, filler or caulk. good luck.

score it with a xacto knive or good old utility knife blade, get the edges and keep digging in it until you remove grime, paint and junk that's made them hard to take off. elbow grease and evetually youll get them. Also i would suffest using wood filler or alterntives to fill in the possible dents or holes left by the old hinges.
