Is there a make over solution for those 1980's Formica wood bottom trim
kitchen cabinets. Paint is a solution but what about that trim? Desperate
here. lol Thans.

You can use a chalk paint, which makes life easy because you don't have to sand or prime with it. Also, you can use a peel and stick tile or contact paper. Have fun with it!
I would like for the wood trim to go away.......any ideas? thank you for your comment.
When you say trim do you mean baseboards? Or the trim on the cabinets? Chalk paint would work on the trim, or there is a product that can go right over any trim or baseboards and they actually sell it at Lowes, its called RapidFit, and can be used to go right over existing trim and baseboards.
Thank you. I mean the trim on the actual kitchen cabinet doors along the
bottom. The cabinets are formica and the bottom trim is wooden.
You can sand and paint over both. If you take off the trim, you may need to fill or cover a dip in the door. You Could add a different trim or even box it out with trim, amish style
Thank you, brilliant ideas. M.
Instead or removing the trim...work with it. Add a strip of flat trim on the other three edges of each door....then paint the whole door, including trim. It will look similar to a shaker style cabinet.
Such a brilliant and simple solution! Thank you.
