- Modernizing the look of our bathroom by updating cabinet doors and drawers to a shaker style look with limited tools and budget.
During our bathroom renovation, we explored various ideas to transform the existing cabinets. We considered having them redone or replaced but I was intrigued by what we could change on our own while saving money in the process. Since they were so old, we really didn’t have much to lose. In this video I share my experience and our experimental process of transforming our cabinets without specialized tools and a minimal budget.
Our process began with deconstructing the old doors, seeing what there was to work with, and going from there. The trial-and-error approach definitely made this quite a challenging experience. However, it gave me the opportunity to learn SO many new things (a few more than I expected, like how to strip paint).
Some of my take aways from this experience are that there are times when it’s worth investing in good quality materials and spending more time up front prepping (paint doesn’t hide as much as I thought it would). Overall, this was a very valuable experience and I love how the cabinets turned out.
Measurements Used:
Door rails and stiles width 2 ¼ in.
Drawer rails width 1 ½ in.
Drawer stiles width 2 ¼ in.
(The lengths vary and depend on door/drawer size)
Main Supplies Used:
Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) - (1/4 in. X 2 ft. X 4 ft.)
Square wooden dowel rods (3/8 in.)
Titebond III Ultimate Wood Glue
Wood filler
(I used a few different kinds)
Sherwin Williams
Extreme Block Oil-Based Primer/Sealer
Sherwin Williams
ProClassic Oil-Based Interior Paint
(Color matched to PPG Blue Dolphin)
Wooster PRO Foam Roller (4 ½ in.)

Foam Paint Brush
** This project left me with a lot of extra paint. So, if you want to see me attempt to turn it into art check out this video! **

I did this with my kitchen as well. Came to watch a video because I kinda miss having a diy project lol. But just a tip for anyone doing this: strip the paint and sand the doors/drawers before you attach the shaker trim pieces. That way you’re not having to do it all by hand to get into the corners or tight spaces. 😊
Brilliant. Glad I wasn't the first person who was gonna try this. Looks great and I'll proceed.
This is exactly what I want to do in my kitchen. So much more affordable and gives me something to do.
me too!
Me too. I am going to start from bathrooms
First and get my hands set. Freaking inflation… everything is so damn expensive
Even though it"s a lot of work it turned out really nice.
Thank you! 😁
Your work is second to none may God continue to bless you and your family outstanding job
Looks good I’m just glad to see this is a way to recycle those old cabinet instead of send them to woods recycle to be grind or even land field
Literally, this is what I’ve been looking for and you delivered. Subscribed!
Thanks for this. It shows how us non pros work around with what he have.
You’re welcome! That’s great to hear and I’m happy you think so! Thank you! 😊
Excellent. This is exactly what I'm hoping to do to my bathroom vanity as well. Love this idea. Thanks for sharing.
Way way way better!!! They look awesome and high end!
Yay! Thank you so much!! 😁
I am going to try this, never thought about MDF thank you!!!
Hell ya. I've been trying to figure out how to go about what you've done here. I couldn't find any other videos on this for reference. Thanks.
Awesome! I'm glad I could help! 😄
Thank you for sharing every single step! This was awesome! I am going to redo my bathroom cabinets and this is going to be very helpful.
You're so welcome! Thank you! I'm so glad to hear that! I hope everything went great or goes great if you haven't done them yet! 😁

You guys did a excellent super excellent job congratulations wow
Thank you so much!! 😁
Thank you for sharing this video! This was exactly the process I wanted to see! Beautiful transformation
You're so welcome! I'm glad it was helpful! :) Thank you!
Tysm for showing us this! Been looking all over for something similar bc i hate all the detailing in our bathroom cabinets! They get so dirty and are difficult to clean! 😭 I am hoping i can use my same cabinet doors and that i can make them just straight up *flat* and repaint with easy cleanup kind of paint 😅. Sounds like a lot to ask for but I'm hoping!! 🤞
Looks amazing! I’m considering doing it!!
Thank you! Go for it! 😄
Lots of work, but worth it.
Great job!!
Well done figuring out how to make the old drawer faces and cabinet doors work. After a project like this, You would probably possess the skills necessary to simply build new faces and doors in the future which would be much simpler/less steps. I bet this was a fantastic learning project.
Looks fantastic. Will be doing this to our old flat panel doors soon 😊
Nice!! I am doing the same thing this spring to my Kitchen cabinets
I love both
Very well done video-thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you! 😄 You're so welcome!
Great job !
Thanks!
Thank u for this video!! But i wonder if yiu can change the hinges to a soft close one on this type of door :|
Great job
Thank you!
Very nice
Thank you!
I like your work your are a great Designer am from Pakistan 🇵🇰😃😊😊😇
Thank you very much! 😃😃
Excellent work
Thank you!
Saved yourself alot of money than buying new cabinet doors. Looks awesome
Thank you! :)
I think in this case it would have been better to just buy all new plywood or MDF. There was so much effort that went into saving the old doors.
I think a plus side to saving the old doors is you wouldn’t have to make sure each door measures correctly and fits
@@miacrystal7474 good point!
It's about doing it your self wake up from your stupor.Bottom line
In a bath you don't want msg it's crap.
@@patrickarchuleta9594 I really think glutamates get a bad rap. I use Accent all the time and I've never had a reaction.
Did you paint your old hinges or get new ones?
Got new hinges! :)
This was such a helpful video! Can I ask, how does it work with installing the new handles to the cupboard doors, as the door is now thicker do you need aan extra long screw? Sorry if this sounds really stupid 😂
Usually new hardware (handles) come with both a short and long screw to fit thin or thick doors. You can find the screws at any hardware store.
Hi, are these overlay hinges?
Hi! No, they are 3/8" inset hinges! :)
What material are you using?
Personally I like those vintage doors better than the builder grade shaker
Shout out to your dad who did all the work
You stripped all the paint off?
Ok what do you suggest she does with this bit of information?
You’ve got some beat up manly hands.
Great job !
Thanks!!
