Using Cabinet Doors in Unexpected Ways

At Fast Cabinet Doors, we often hear from satisfied customers! We love seeing how our doors help people creatively transform their living spaces. Today, we’re shining a spotlight on three such renovations. We’ll show you Tom’s modernized bookshelf, Bob’s revamped hutch, and Carol’s kitchen remodel inspired by Julia Child.

These projects showcase the versatility of cabinet doors, offering a peek into the not-so-typical uses of our products.

A Seamless Blend From Kitchen to Bookshelf

Tom recently upgraded his kitchen cabinets and the he extended the impact beyond the kitchen and into the adjacent eating area. Tom also upgraded a bookshelf and wall cabinet situated in this space. This helped create a unified look that flows naturally from one room to the next.

Before: The walnut-colored cabinets that originally adorned Tom’s kitchen and adjacent eating area contributed to a space that felt dated and constricting. The darker hues absorbed light, creating an atmosphere that was less inviting.

After: Tom astutely decided to leverage the robust structure of his existing shelving. He sanded down the structure, painted it the same shade as the kitchen cabinets, and replaced the doors to be an updated version of the original.

This strategic use of coordinated replacement cabinet doors across different functional zones in his home has resulted in a space that feels both larger and significantly brighter. The makeover is not just a visual treat but also enhances the experience of spending time in these interconnected areas.

“The quality of the cabinet doors and drawer fronts received from Fast Cabinet Doors was excellent. … Overall a VERY POSITIVE EXPERIENCE.”

-Tom G.

By taking a thoughtful, multi-room approach to his renovation, Tom has brilliantly showcased how replacement cabinet doors can serve as a versatile solution for an expansive, harmonious living space.

Hutch Makeover with Custom Cabinet Doors

Bob took his entertainment center hutch from an eyesore to a statement piece by replacing the original windowed cabinet doors that revealed clutter and unsightly cables. He opted for a transformative all-white, double-door design using our custom cabinet doors. The addition of clean, modern handles complemented the sleek appearance, elevating the hutch into a piece that not only hides away the mess but commands attention as a focal point in any room. This simple yet impactful change exemplifies the transformative power of thoughtfully chosen cabinet doors.

A Julia Child's Kitchen

Inspiration: Carol was spellbound by the legendary kitchen of Julia Child, a room not just for cooking but for living. Known for its three windows, open shelving, and a variety of wooden counters, Julia Child’s kitchen remains an epitome of culinary inspiration.

Carol set out on a mission to capture the essence of Julia Child’s kitchen in her own home. She carefully chose custom cabinet doors from Fast Cabinet Doors and meticulously matched the exact paint color used on the originals, which are now preserved at the Smithsonian.

“Our house and kitchen was built in the late ’90s. The cabinets themselves were really well-built, but the style of the doors didn’t align with my vision. I found Fast Cabinet Doors and knew they were the right choice for my project. I was particularly taken by the diverse range of finish options, which allowed me the flexibility to recreate the quaint charm I loved about Julia Child’s kitchen.” – Carol
