Cabinet Makeover

Hi everyone! I did a little makeover in my kitchen that I thought I’d share with you all today.

I replaced the solid wood doors above my microwave with chickenwire and toile fabric.


Here’s how I did it. I removed the center panel with a jigsaw and then used my Dremel to clean it up.


I cut and attached some chickenwire (used an electric staple gun which makes it so much easier).



Then I  added a piece of La Petite Ferme fabric. Which I didn’t even bother to hem or anything AND I attached it using tacks. Used my pinking shears to cut out the square so the edges wouldn't fray.

Basically I attached it the way I did (with tacks) because this is right above my cooktop and my microwave vents up. So I know that I’ll be wanting to take the fabric off now and then and give it a good rinse.


It also makes it much easier to remove the fabric when I want to change it out for something else. Which I know I’ll do frequently!



Those pictures in the black frames are just scenes I cut out of some toile fabric. I made those 4 or 5 years ago and I keep thinking I should change them out for something else. Yet, every time I go to take them down I ask myself why? I really like them! So there they stay.


I also changed the labels on my spices.


Here’s a link to the Free Printable Cath Kidston Labels I used.  Just copy and paste them into paint and then you can print whatever you want on them. Or just print them out and write on them if you like.


I attached each label to the glass jar by apply clear shipping tape over the label and onto the jar. That way they are easy to wipe clean.
