Before and After from 80s Kitchen to shaker cabinets

They just added plain trim to the doors to look like "shaker" style cabinets. Then painted the doors and the cabinets them selves all white. It looks like they just put new wood fronts on the drawers with new handles. So the doors were completely reused and the wood handle that is there is just under the wood trim. Your just have to fill with chalking after you put all the trim on so that the trim looks like it was always there. I hope this helps in some way.
