Beadboard Wallpaper in Kitchen Cabinets

Here's how I did to transform my kitchen cabinets. 
First remove all the cabinet doors then measure and cut the beadboard wallpaper.



Next, wet the back of the wallpaper and let it sit for about 5 minutes then adhere to the cabinet doors (make sure to remove the bubbles by pressing it with cloth). An instruction is available in a piece of paper attached to the wallpaper packaging. Let it sit overnight.


Cut about 1 and 1/2 inches of thin board (sorry, i don't know what it's called.). I bought this in Home Depot. I pretty sure all the home renovation store have this. This will serve as the trim of the cabinets. Sand it attach to the sides of the cabinet door. I used nails instead of wood glue to make sure it will not fall in the future.  


You'll notice I did not use a fancy trim the main reason is this trim should be thin so the cabinet doors will open widely. Apply a Dry Dex Spackling by DAP then sand it.



Put the knob and paint it. FYI, in this drawers the beadboard wallpaper were all painted BEHR High-Gloss.

Kitchen Renovation Before and After

I have this kitchen for almost two years. I been thinking on how to transform it in a budget. I love the beadboard kitchen cabinets. One day while I was browsing the net I found the paintable beadboard wallpaper project of Rhoda of Southern Hospitality. The very first thing that pop-out in my mind, I can do this in my kitchen cabinets. Too bad during that time Rhoda was out of the wallpaper so I researched where I can buy it and I found here in our local home renovation store.

Blessing for me that my dad is visiting to stay for almost a month so I can ask help since it's his expertise. My dad is a contractor/handyman in Bay Area. He knows a lot about this. 

This was my kitchen before....


Here's the after.

Click here to check how I did it or at Rhoda in Southern Hospitality. I appreciate your comment. Thanks for stopping by.
