Adding Molding To Kitchen Cabinets
By the family handyman i began working at the bottom of the cabinets perhaps avoiding the headache of dealing with crown molding.
Adding molding to kitchen cabinets. Like knobs in done. The frame measures the exact same size as the sides and front of the cabinet. This is not new information.
Day 1 i started about 11am and got all the drawers done before the kids came home at 4. If that sounds confusing now itll make total sense when you start adding the moulding to your kitchen island dont worry. We built a frame that would sit on top of the cabinet and that we could attach the trim to the frame above the cabinet.
Apply a small amount of glue at each joint wiping away the excess with a cloth. We have cabinets with crown molding on top in our kitchen. In the end we decided to update the kitchen cabinets without replacing them by adding mdf trim to create a diy shaker cabinet door then paint everything.
Ours are oak and stained to match our wood cabinets. If the cabinet molding will rest against the ceiling you can use finish nails to affix the molding to the ceiling. Day 3 the other half.
Thats my word for moldings. For the back of the kitchen island the part you see in the picture i used my 1 x 4 pieces of oak board. This way works well for me.
Its a great light to put on at night as it illuminated the kitchen just enough to not have to put. Because im a little cray. A few years ago when we had an electrician in to do some work in our house i had them put an outlet above the cabinet with a switch down below.
