Kitchen Butler's Pantry Transformation

We now have a butler's pantry - keep scrolling to see this transformation! The before...we started with basic wire shelving and small appliances on the floor. Ugh... Let's get started with your project success. Build two boxes for base cabinets. I used 3/4" MDF. These are basically two bigger boxes divided into four smaller cubbies. Don't worry, I thought that these looked like kindergarten cubbies at this stage of the project as well. It gets better! Determine how many shelves you want and need. Locate the studs behind the sheet-rock. Use painters tape to mark the studs but at the same time marking the height location of your shelving. I added some face framing to add dimension and thickness to the lower shelves. See - it already looks a lot less like kindergarten! Moving back to the shelving, we have 9' ceilings so opted for four rows of shelves. I used 3/4" thick MDF to create the back support that runs all along the back of the shelves. These are about...

Modern Millwork for your Entryway/Foyer Walls

Here's a cool idea enhance your project success by transforming your entryway! Create a lasting positive first impression! You can take your typical entryway = ..and transform it into a fun, modern, amazing first-impression for you and your guests! You can do this!...here's the overview to help support your project success: 1) Demo time! Okay, "lite demo" - but fun nonetheless. The more gentle you are with removing the old millwork or whatever is on your wall today, the less spackling you need to do before you create your masterpiece.

You may also have some holes from removing pictures/paintings or existing millwork from your wall. I use a basic 6" knife like this one from Home Depot and regular joint compound. Take your time adding light coats of mud until you're ready to sand it out. There are plenty of tutorials on muddi...

Modern Millwork Bedroom Accent Feature Wall

Success starts with a plan. I can't say that I strictly adhere to my original plan design as the project develops, but it does provide me with a good guide and blueprint. This is especially helpful if you have a 'day job' and come back to the project intermittently. I used 1/2 inch MDF. It is relatively inexpensive and easy to cut while providing a clean uniform look. The downside is that you need to prime/paint a number of times because MDF really soaks up the paint. I recommend prepainting the wall before adding the millwork. This makes it easier when when do your final coat of paint at the end. Find the center of the wall for your first board. I ran the middle millwork board almost to the baseboard and the ceiling to define the center point of the design. I cut 45 degree angles on each end to make a cool look. There is no right or wrong way to do your design. Have fun with it and bring your personality to this project! I precut all of my pieces. What you don't ...
