Hey man if you know what handles you were using before you put the doors back on, you could lay the doors on top of each other lined up, (clamped if you have clamps) measure where needs drilling, and drill directly through both pieces of wood, when you take them apart the holes will be in the identical spots. And ready to reattach to your unit. Hope this makes sense worked for me!
Great hack! I learnt and awesome trick for installing handles by making a template using cardboard from like an Amazon box or something. Basically you measure out how far you want your handle to be from the top and edge of your door and then measure out those same measurements onto your cardboard and then make the holes in the cardboard that way if it’s not exactly right you can change up the template until the handles fit perfectly. Then you line up your template with the top of your door/drawer and mark the place where you need to drill your holes, drill and you’re done 😊 Really wish I’d learnt this before I redid my kitchen and measured out every single handle on every single door. Their where 18 doors! 🤦🏼♀️ I will never get back those hours 🤣 loving your channel.
Haha omg THANK YOU! I have a kitchen makeover planned where I’m going to install knives/pulls so I will definitely use this truck! Much appreciated! And thanks! New to RUclips but hoping to learn and grow a lot this year :)
Next time you do handles.. Just insert the mounting bolts into the handle. Then press them down on cardboard. They leave imprints of where the bolts holes are. Then cut the cardboard template out. Hold against the cabinet. Make your marks. Then drill the holes...
Hmm I’m not sure 🤔 I did have to level it out a bit on the bottom with furniture pads but I think my floor may just not be perfectly level. But I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you! 😫
Lol well, yes that’s actually the goal. The whole idea/trend is essentially DIYing your own sort of chalky textured paint with whatever kind of paint you already have
What a great transformation! Textured painting on a flat furniture surface is a great way to add subtle dimension. We love this look. So chic!
Thanks so much!!
The difference in the before and after is INSANE. I love the new addition to our place :)
Glad it worked out! And thanks so much for the input along the way 😊♥️

It’s become so beautiful👏👏👏👏
Thanks so much!

You could always borrow my cabinet hardware jig for the handles! Great work, gotta try this paint out.
Haha thank you! And good to know!
I’m in love with this channel already. I can’t wait for you to blow up !
You are so sweet! Thank you so, so much 🥰
I just found your channel and I am loving everything you do
Aww thank you so much! I’m so glad 🥰
Great job!
Thank you!!
I love this! I would suggest adjusting the hinges to close the gap before attaching the handles. It looks great!
Thanks for the tip!!
Little lone fox!hehe love your channel
Hahah such a compliment! Thank you!! (Love his channel so much lol)
for positioning the handles, make a template from card stock or cardboard.
Thanks so much! I’m gonna be adding some handles to my kitchen cabinets this year so I’ll definitely try that out!

Thanks for the tip! Would have saved me lots of headache lol

Do the screws from the legs protrude through to the inside of the cabinet or no?
No they do not, they send the appropriate size screws based in the IKEA model you select. Hope that helps!
Do you think this is possible on walls?
Were the legs enough or did you have to wall mount it??
I didn’t have to wall mount it thankfully 😊
@@joshmrivera hmmm I wonder if it depends on the type of legs. I used the slant legs and the unit just falls off
Hmm I’m not sure 🤔 I did have to level it out a bit on the bottom with furniture pads but I think my floor may just not be perfectly level. But I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you! 😫
Where’d you get the plant holder for the short plant?
One of the ones on the cabinet? The succulent pot is from my local garden supply store, and the pot for the vine plant is from Ikea! Hope that helps 😊
@@joshmrivera sorry the one on the floor
Haha ohh I’m sorry, I actually found that one on the street. Someone was getting rid of it. Sorry!
LOL I'm sorry but you basically just made chalk paint 😂. Chalk paint is just water based latex paint with plaster of Paris mixed in.
Lol well, yes that’s actually the goal. The whole idea/trend is essentially DIYing your own sort of chalky textured paint with whatever kind of paint you already have
