Old Doors + Trim = custom doors


 We had to wait quite awhile to get back to the cabinet doors to complete the project. Many projects were just more important to complete so doors were just not necessary for awhile. In the meantime we added flooring, new appliances, counter tops, new lighting, new sink and faucet, and moved all our kitchen items in. We didn't get back to the doors until mid september. We started by buying trim so that david could add it to the existing doors. Then we planned on caulking and painting them. The final touch will be new knobs and pulls. 



  We finally found a moment to add trim to the existing doors (when I say we, I mean David) I supported. First he cut trim pieces and fitted them to each individual door.

Then he nailed the boards to the door


Then he took a router (I helped hold the board for this part) and routed the edges to give it a custom finished look
Heres what that looks like

We held them up to see how they would look. Next task is caulk and paint (my turn to work on the doors.)
