Built-in Cabinet - Take 2

Remember the built-in cabinet I spruced up for only a couple of dollars last summer?

The new door pulls really dressed it up.  So I decided to take it next level by adding additional trim.


The top trim was assembled from scrap I had on hand or I pulled from the freebie bin at ReStore.


It's made of five different pieces of trim.


I also added additional visual weight to the bottom by using a larger base moulding.


Finally, I lowered the door pulls about two inches.


Here's the original before, a cluttered mess:


The first makeover, de-cluttered and much improved:


And now this cabinet is all dressed up.

  11. Fabulous! You are making me want built-ins! I recently added the moldings at the top of my doorways like you did above your cabinets and I know what a process it is, so my hat's off to you! It looks like it was always part of your cabinet which means it's a job well done! :) Thank you for sharing with us at Inspiration Friday.
