Reface cabinet doors

Feb 15, 2006 2 Replies

Going to paint kitchen cabinets. Would like to give doors a different look. Now flat. Thinking of gluing a fake "raised panel" and edging to the door to give it the raised panel look. Could run MDF through the table saw to get the fake panels. But, wondering if there is a source for ready made ones that could be glued on then painted. Please tell me if you know of a source

I forget the proper name, but years ago, you could buy a molding used exactly for this purpose. Back in the days of birch kitchen cabinets, a "upgrade" would be the door edges covered in this molding which does give the appearnace of a "raised panel". Go to the oldest lumber company you can find and ask around.
