I thought that the shelves in the open kitchen
cabinet would look much better if I added
a little trim to the edge.
a little trim to the edge.
It's a subtle change, but it finishes
the look of the shelves.
I used 1/2" already primed cove molding
and painted it white.
The trim is attached to the edge using wood
glue. It's held in place with masking tape
until the glue dries.
That's it!
The trim will not interfere with the doors
if (when) I decide to put them back on.
The shelves look less kitchen-cabinety.

I can still easily remove the shelves
if (when) I decide to replace
the red checked background.

ReplyDeleteWow, it really adds a lot! It's such a small detail, but I think it makes the cabinets look complete. You have such a good eye for detail, Rita!

ReplyDeleteHi Rita,
ReplyDeleteI'm popping over from Metamorphosis Monday and just love how your trim came out. I removed the doors of some kitchen cabinets before and even covered the holes. But I didn't think to add trim to the shelves, makes a big difference. I'm a new follower and a fellow blue/white collector. : ) Love if you'd share your shelves at my Frugal Treasures Tuesday party.

How do you add the paper in your cabinet? Do you use tacks?
