I have a question about refacing my cabinets.
I am starting to reface a bathroom vanity in our house. I will be making new doors and drawer fronts out of cherry.
For the face frame, I am debating between removing the face frames and replacing with new solid cherry face frames, applying 1/4" cherry veneer over the face frames, or applying the peal and stick cherry veneer.
I checked the existing face frames and they can be removed fairly easily. They are not glued on, they are attached with staples from the back side at an angle. I took a hammer and hit the frame from the inside and it will come off.
I think I like the idea of putting new solid cherry face frames on, but I am wondering what is the best way to attach them. Should I glue them and use small finish nails to hold them in place?
I was hoping to be able to do this without removing the cabinet so that I do not have to disconnect all the plumbing.
Since this is my first refacing job, any comments would be appreciated.
