Most builder-grade cabinets have a blank space at the end (if they aren’t between walls). While this isn’t horrible, it’s not the custom look we are going for. So, we came up with a quick, cheap and easy solution!

Supplies

How to Make Builder Grade Cabinets Look Custom

1. Cut and Glue the Craft Boards

Once we cut the frame pieces to size, we applied wood glue to the back of the craft boards.

2. Attach the Craft Boards to the Cabinet

We attached the craft boards with 5/8″ pin nails.

3. Toe Kick

This cabinet has a toe kick so there is extra space on the bottom. We cut another 4″ piece to fit.

4. Diagonal Pieces

You can do any design on the sides. We decided to play off of the vent hood cover and do a barn door trim design. The easiest way to get the best fit is to hold the pieces up, mark where they should be cut and line up the miter saw to cut right on the mark.

5. Wood Filler

Once the hobby boards were attached, we filled the cracks with wood filler. You can find our favorite wood filler HERE!

6. Paint

We gave the cabinets 3 coats of paint. You can find the paint we used HERE.

That was it! Such a custom impact for very little time and money!

  5. Are you looking for something to work on your own and don’t want to hire a contractor for the more straightforward tasks? Yes, there is a solution for that; now, you don’t need to hire a high-paid contractor or constructor to install the baseboards. Baseboards can be adding a touch of decoration to your walls if installed neatly. Previously hammers were used to drive nails and install baseboards.
