What Lies Beneath...the Cabinets

We needed a cheap way to update our 1970s kitchen cabinets, so we turned the cabinets inside-out to use the simple frame of the interior instead of the elaborate curvy countryish look of the original cabinet. Then we moved the handles and painted them. Very cheap. Just annoying to reposition the hinges.
