This house was not really taken care of by the previous owners and the white paint has chipped off the majority of the doors and the wood has swollen underneath. The frames are fine, but the doors need to be replaced badly.

I have searched the internet and cannot find anything resembling what I have. Everything I have found is "real wood", which is more expensive of course.

Has anyone ever tried dressing up plain kitchen cabinet doors with some wood molding? My cabinet doors are larger than standard size (home built in '75) and they are simple and flat. The cost of new doors or refacing is out of the question and I was considering the possiblity of using some wood trim to dress up the edges of the cabinet doors. So far I've found nothing on the internet to suggest that this has been done and I was wondering if anyone else had tried this technique and what they thought?
Trying to fix my kitchen cabinet doors...please help? I am trying to fix my kitchen cabinet doors. The doors use hinges which fit into clean cut depressions in the door that are circular and go into the door about 3/4 deep into it. Next to these big holes that the hinge piece fits into are two smaller holes to fasten the hinge in with screws. My problem is that these holes are so worn away no molly bolt will go into them. The holes are chewed into crap and have no ability to hold anything. I have been told that there is no type of glue or wood putty which is strong enough to take the wear of a hinge area on a door so I just figure the only way to do this is to cut into the door and make a bigger depression around the areas where the screws go in so I can glue bigger pieces of wood in and then put the screws in...Is this the best way to do this or is there an easier way? It seems so complicated and expensive buying new cabinet doors that I thought I should try this instead. any thoughts?

What is the best glue & technique for repairing a crack in a wood kitchen cabinet door? I have a wood (maple) kitchen cabinet door that has developed a crack that is about to split the door lengthwise if I don't do something soon. I want to glue it but I want to use the best glue for that so the door stays together and doesn't make it look messy.

New kitchen cabinet pulls are too loose how can I tighten them up? I bought new pulls for my old kitchen cabinet doors. The machine screws don't screw in all the way into the new pulls, because the cabinet doors are not thick enough. Can I put washers behind the pulls and again behind the back of the cabinet door to tighten up the loose pulls and make up for the thin cabinet door? I need to make up about 1/8 of an inch difference. Thanks from a damsel in distress.
Family always leaving kitchen cabinet doors and drawers open? We bought this house 2 years ago and we were made aware after the purchase of some bad things that had happened in this house. No big deal, I can deal with that. However, it's really weird that everytime my kids, my wife and even me go into a kitchen cabinet, drawer or the pantry, we always walk away with the thing left wide open and forget to close it. sometimes it stays open for a while before one of us notices. Why is this? It is so often now that it has sparked me to post this question on here. Any feedback or thoughts would be great! Yes dreamer. A woman created suicide in the home. When we first purchased all kinds of weird things took place and were hapening. It got enough out of control, my wife called in a priest to bless the home. Those things have stopped. commited...not created! DUH! sorry

How to remove foul odor from kitchen cabinet? I purchased a 12 year old home with custom pine kitchen cabinets in which one set has an unpleasant odor. The surrounding cabinets aren't as bad.

I installed central air, leave the cabinet doors open cleaned the cabinets with bleach and set baking soda on the shelves. Still, two months later, the smell remains.

Why does my kitchen cabinet beneath the sink smell? The cabinet beneath my kitchen sink and disposal smells like rotting food, but I can't pinpoint the source of the smell. Oddly, the disposal itself does NOT smell -- I stick my nose down the drain and it smells OK. But if I open the cabinet doors and kneel down, the smell of rotting food is strong... but I've cleaned everything out of the cabinet. I have put ice cubes, lots of citrus peel and baking soda down the disposal to clear any smell, but again, the source appears beneath the sink and not the disposal from the top side. (House is 10 years old; disposal is 3 years old.) There are no visible leaks beneath the cabinet. Two hints:1) While the disposal from the top doesn't smell; the pipe beneath the sink does; and 2) the smell is strongest when I run the dishwasher, but it comes and goes all the time. Any thoughts on what could be causing the smell or ideas to fix?
What are these kitchen cabinet upgrades called? What is the technical term for the cabinet additions that go on either side of upper kitchen cabinets that are at a 45 degree angle? Like instead of the cabinets ending bluntly in a 90 degree angle from the side of the cabinet it tapers to the wall at a 45 degree angle and gives a little extra cabinet space for spices or other small stuff. There would be one extra thin cabinet door and triangular shelves. Know what I mean? What is this called so I can look them up. I have tried searching all kinds of keywords and I can't find one pic anywhere on the net. Thanks!!!! B
