Updated Builder Grade Cabinets

Build a frameThe first thing that we did is build a frame to have something to secure the fronts and trim to. We framed out the top of the cabinets as well as the ceiling making sure the pieces were level and directly above each other. Something to note is that we built the frames about an inch smaller than the cabinets around the edges to accommodate the thickness of the trim we would be using.

To make the fronts of our built ins we ended up using an MDF shelf board we had. It was the perfect height and length that we needed and was made out of the same material our cabinets are made out of.

Trim it outHere is the fun part where you can get creative and create the perfect custom look for you! We used a variety of different trim pieces and just built on until we were happy with the overall look.

PreppingBefore you paint you want to make sure to fill all the nail holes and caulk any gaps. This will ensure you have a professional looking finish.
