and now everything will have doors!

Don't care if it's a picture frame, it's getting doors!

If you've been nervous about it, worried you won't be able to do it, I know how you feel. Believe me, I felt the same way. Seemed like way to much actual carpentry for one mom to do. After much encouragement and cheers from my Kreg Jig Community, namely Jay, I decided the next piece I worked on, my beautiful new hutch would have not 1, but 2!!! doors. 

this is everything cut for 2 doors beadboard is stacked on top of each other

Where to start? 

•     Needed to figure out what look I was going for, knew I wanted doors that had beadboard in them, yes in them. Didn't want to cheese it by laying the beadboard on the back of the frame, wanted inlaid doors. 
•   Put your frame on the cabinet. I used 1x3 and this is where I hinged my doors. my doors sit inside of the frame, flush when closed. Important, unless your going to chisel out a space for your hinges, I didn't, make sure to leave a space for your hinges. Also, I don't know if this is how Bob the Builder would do it, but I left 

heres my Stiles all routered! first routering ever.  used 1/4 bit 

dryfitting the stiles making sure they fit. I chose to cut everything across , that's the look I love, but you can always miter the corners

dryfitting the door

Routered and painted corner

put 3 sides together...slide your beadboard in, when measuring the beadboard, add 1/2 to each side to slide in routered section

example to show how it's done

this is how it looks add the side aka STILE

• Here's the vocabulary lesson., next time you go to Home Depot use my words, and watch the associate's eyes light up! Railes....these are the horizontal or in between boards...I used 1x3's for mine, but a 1x2 or even a 1x4 could be used, it's your preference, depending on how much wood you like. Next word, wait for it....Stiles! ....these are the vertical boards, or the sides. Railes and stiles, 2 of each make up your frame of the door. Don't forget to leave space to open and close your doors, and space for your hinges. My doors sit flush with my 1x3 frame
