Any CABINETRY people out there?

Are you good at bedazzling? Foam board, glue and magnets. Bam.

I do like the skinning idea. You could also do rails and have the doors or the new skin slide vs a hinge. Ikea has doors too. They key to a modern look with doors is minimal gaps and hidden hinges.

The doors are overlay. Meaning they are bigger than the opening and hang in front of the opening. IKEA doors are European style doors (hinged different) and will no workie.

I was thinking using the IKEA doors on some kind of sliding mechanism either as a rail or those rollers things that glide over a bar.

Guess you could use an ikea flat door with barn door hardware as you describe. The only issue I could see is there’s a space between the door and the cabinet, so maybe light and noise an issue

No matter what new doors you end up with... Gotta get good at having a towel to mop up while playing in the water. It will rust and warp again. I learned that the hard way on my own, then perfected my towel habits and technics at tank cleaning gigs.
I use 2, one for the floor (dirty) and one over the shoulder (clean)

Everyone should do in-wall with a room in the back. It’s amazing how convenient it is.

TBH...... looking for a guy with 147yrs of experience to say .. "looks here son, you do a, b then c"

Then he shows me pics and it all makes sense

I do a, b then c and it looks amazing for around $150

I'm almost old enough and am a cabinet maker and carpenter for over 40 years. I've built everything in this house, including g the house. I'm retired and would like to be more help but I don't know your skill set, tool inventory, or budget . So. A. Go to lowes or home depot.
B. Pick out doors of the proper style and size.

C. Pick out new hinges and pulls if needed.

D. Take doors home and install on cabinet.

If I lived close to you I would just come do it. Now get busy. You can do this thing and maybe be proud of it in the end. Not as hard as you think. If budget is no problem call a cabinet shop and make it rain. Lol. Good luck. Don't get intimidated. It's just a cabinate. You'll do fine.

Anyone ever do accent stone over the existing cabinet? I have been think of doing that to mine as I am in the same boat vs painting it or putting new doors on. This is not mine but something similar to this and around the doors

The skeleton of my stand is rock solid (no issues) but my doors on the front are severely rusted, warped and OUTDATED.

Any ideas of cabinet doors on this 6ft 180g stand to make it look more contemporary?

Are the doors I have custom sized? Standard sized?

I'm completely ignorant on where to start to shop for new contemporary doors.

Please help....

I have nothing to add, I just came for the wit

I have this idea that down the road I’ll purchase a stand with an aluminum frame and remake the cabinet doors to be wood to match the house. I haven’t seen it done yet but I was thinking the APS stand. It would be a contemporary/traditional blend.

for OP I would literally sand and paint the front and replace hinges until I could afford a new stand, that one isn’t worth putting more money or time into than that.

Other option is to have a grandfather who is a retired carpenter and have you build a new stand for you. That’s what I did.

Lol. That's me. I love that they still need an old guy.

Home Depot does Custom Doors. Also there’s plenty of Online Manufacturers. Also at Local Craft Stores you could make Picture Frames, put some Translucent Acrylic Sheet in the Frame, back light it from the inside. The Hinges are Available on Amazon, in Stainless Steel. You just need a Wood Boring Bit to make the recessed hole.

Measure the doors and head to Home depot kitchen cabinet department . If they're a standard size they can order them for you. This would be a least cost option for replacement. If you have the know how you can make doors. I made my cabinet and the doors.

An option or two...

If you want to keep it really simple and cost effective you could cut some 3/4 sanded ply and edge band it. I prefer to peel and stick to the iron on. Just paint to match and add your hardware and your done.

The next most simple option would be a shaker style door and is pretty easy to build with just a table saw and miter saw.

If you don't have any of these kind of tools, you can still get away with the first option by having the panels cut to size at homedepot or lowes. Though half the time they will claim their panel saw is broken. Just remember when checking for door size, measure you opening and add a 1/2 inch to each side for overlap. For example if the opening is 24W x 30H your door is going to need to be 25 x 31.

Lastly regarding your hinges. If the type required is a concealed style hinge then you will need the ability to drill the pockets to install them. Kreg Tools sells a kit to do this and it can also be found at homedepot or lowes.

Good luck
