Any one pull the plastic off contractor grade cabinets and painted!
Honestly, they did not look nearly as offensive as they had in the morning. Can new (wooden doors) be put on the cabinet boxes?? Carrie

Terra Gazelle on Dec 30, 2014You can put on n new doors..or paint them. Rustoleum has Transformations..a paint kit for cabinets. Make sure you follow their directions closely. Your cabinets will be beautiful. Or you can chalk paint them..but make sure you seal with several coats of poly.Helpful Reply

Cathy Soukup on Dec 30, 2014Yes, you can put new doors on the cabinet framing. Or you can paint them. Take the doors down and remove all the hardware. Prime everything with a good primer, then paint however you like. You can reuse the old hardware, or buy new for a totally new look!Helpful Reply

Ijensen on Dec 31, 2014Any chance you can add a picture? In one of my bathrooms, I contemplated removing the outer trim around the cabinet doors and adding 3 1/2" stock board/planks to give them a beautiful "Shaker" look. The great thing about the Shaker look is no mitering of the wood, just clean straight cuts...:) A new coat of white paint and black hardware would give depth. Another option is to add more detailed trim to the existing trim and then glazing. Good luck...:)Helpful Reply

Miriam Kearney on Dec 31, 2014do not try to remove the plastic coating. underneath is junk but all held together by the plastic membrane. Sand and then repaint with primer and then anything else you want. Rustoleum product mentioned above is probably good, so is melamine paint. You want something hard so you want a semi or hi gloss paint (has more hardeners in it). An oil paint will give you the best and hardest finish but today latex or acrylic paint is almost as good. You could also give them some moulding to change their looks. Certainly beats buying new doors.Helpful Reply

Lucid Designs on Dec 31, 2014The Habitat ReStore in my city (Memphis) always has an abundance of brand new shaker style doors... for like $3 a piece. Not sure where you are in GA, but if a decent drive from Rome, GA, there is a company called Builder's Salvage (706-232-8880) that has an abundance of lower cost cabinet options, both finished and not, and all the boxes and doors already assembled. If they don't have what you're looking for, they recommend a Mr Smith, who is a very reasonably priced cabinet maker and installer.Helpful Reply
