Do you want your cabinet doors look like new? I think you should continue reading this article. I will give you some tips that will help you to give a completely new look to your cabinet doors. Punched tin, one of the old fashioned early American looks is probably the response that you are looking for.
Whether you are looking for a “new look” without the high cost of time and money then the kitchen cabinet doors are a great place to start to renovate your kitchen. However, renovation projects could be expensive, time consuming and inconvenient, but I think you can have better and cheaper results just following a good plan and doing yourself the work during the weekend or in your free time.
Just renovating the doors of your cabinets will make a great difference, especially if they are older or worn. Also a new look for your complete kitchen can be realized by modifying the style or color. Sometimes the easier way to do this is by replacing the door and hardware, or maybe by reconstructing the doors of your cabinets currently having using some molding, some tin or copper and an ice pick.
Select a design from the several numbers of punched tin designs that are available and start to work. Below I will make a list of materials that you will need:
- Tin or copper sheeting.
- Tin punch pattern.
- Ice pick
- Half round or other molding of your choice.
- New hardware to match or complement the tin or copper.
- Measure your cabinet doors.
Furthermore, you will need to leave about 2 inches outside the punched tin, so that the remainder of the door frames it nicely. Punch the design that you prefer, and place it on the center of the cabinet door. Whether you would like to have lights show through your punched tin work, you will need to cut out a hole in the middle of the cabinet door and then aggregate the tin work. A simple plug in nightlight bulb and a small light fixture can be placed inside the cabinet to provide the backlighting to your tin piece
When you finish punching the design to adapt your cabinet inset area, set it on the cabinet, through the use of folded tape to maintain it in place. Join and cut the molding that will frame it and using either small galvanized screw, attach the molding in place catching the edges of the tin materials as you do so, so that it not only frames, but also keep the tin in place.
