My husband and I brainstormed for a year about what to do about those cabinets. We thought about replacing the doors – too expensive. I just didn’t want to spend a lot of money on cabinets when these were perfectly serviceable so we decided on paint. We chose Lowe’s Allen Roth Collection wood laminate. This product was affordable (we did the entire house for about $800) and easy to work with. A big plus is that the planks already have foam backing attached.
A broad variety of materials, styles, and finishes are available in dining room. One of the most popular mobile home remodel projects involve mobile home kitchen cabinets. They’re a popular feature to upgrade that can radically transform your kitchen to make it more modern and high-end. It’s safer to begin with FIX it Stick all-purpose epoxy putty because it’s less volatile and easier to manipulate installation hardware kitchen cabinets. It’s critical to understand your complete structure and the full process before you begin installing cabinets. Your remodeling needs are determined by the structure of your manufactured house.
Make Way For New Cabinets
Your Mobile Cabinets’ Matching Paper Is Out There. Matching papers with the same colors and wood grain pattern are tough to come across, but not insurmountable. There are a few options if the peeling is substantial and apparent, including painting or prefacing the cabinet. MDF is a terrific material for furniture, but it’s not so great when it comes to dealing with liquids. Mobile home builders frequently utilize it as sub-flooring since it is so dense, robust, and inexpensive.
Craigslist and local secondhand shops are good places to look for vintage cabinet doors with cracked glass for your project. Your manufactured home’s walls and floors will be unaffected by the installation of these kitchen cabinets. Fill or fix any holes in the walls if there are any.
Great Mobile Home Kitchen Makeovers
You may change up the hinges, the knobs, or the pulls on your cabinets. If you want to attain the ideal effects, you’ll need to thoroughly clean the surface. TSP should be used to clean your kitchen cabinet, even if Dawn dishwashing liquid works just as well. As you remove the cabinet doors and drawers, be sure to label them. This reduces the weight of the cabinets, making them easier to assemble. Flooring – I don’t love the vinyl flooring, and it’s not good quality at all, but it was fairly new and a neutral color.
I also had Farmhouse style decorations from our old house that I would be using since there was no budget for getting all new décor. I chose to do a cottage/farmhouse look with satin paint and glazing. This treatment would hide the imperfections in the doors. Had I chosen a glossy or enamel finish it would have shown every imperfection.
Kitchen Walls
They were inexpensive and the black went with the Mid Century Modern style while also contrasting with the white walls. These kinds of clean lines are visually appealing in many different styles. I wanted black to align with Mid-Century Modern Kitchen designs but also wanted something in the kitchen that gave the Farmhouse style vibe as well.
Mobile home owners aren’t a fan of swelled and warped floors because so many people have had this problem in the past. There’s nothing wrong with MDF, despite the fact that it has a negative reputation among mobile households. As a result, it has become a popular choice for furniture and cabinet builders around the world.
You can see the old flooring on the left, and the new on the right. The foam in the upper left corner is left over from the old flooring that we tore up.The color and style is Marcona Hickory. Most laminate floating floors require an underlayment of foam between the subfloor and the laminate floor. If you have to buy the rolls of foam separately, it adds significantly to the cost of the project. Did you use peel stick on the counter tops as well? I have a mobile home that is very similar I am getting ready to move into and I hate the counters.
When we moved into our 1975 Single Wide Marshfield Mobile Home, the previous owners had already made some upgrades in the kitchen. The appliances were all pretty new (Yay!), but there were problems with other work they’d done. I understand the need for advertising but lately, your posts are hard to read.
It had lots of outbuildings, a gorgeous barn, a farmhouse full of potential and, oh, a 1979 mobile home out back. While we worked on the farmhouse renovation, we chose to live in our renovated bungalow in town. Many mobile home remodel projects are quite simple and can easily be done without professional help. Other major projects, such as moving your mobile home, cannot be done under any circumstances without professional help. Cost of the painting project; including paint, glaze, brushes, rollers and drop cloth was around $150.
The trim covers the edges where cabinets get the most wear, so we are hopeful they will last for several more years. You don’t want to overdo it, but you also don’t want to underdo it either. Take care not to overdo it, but make sure you apply enough to get an equal line and a straight edge that fits the cabinet. One sanding with sandpaper on really old MDF is like three sandings on typical wood, yet you may still not attain a smooth finish. Fortunately, wood fillers and putty are available to help.
