So my Mum has decided that she's tired of the kitchen which was
installed in the late 60's and she'd like something a bit more modern
looking. However she hasn't got the money to pay for a full new
kitchen, so she figures just replace the doors on the cupboards and
put some new fronts on the drawers.. a reasonable idea I think.

So we had a look around B&Q where they only seem to sell standard
sizes of doors and drawers in certain packs, which doesn't seem to be
ideal for us.. On measuring up we've found that we are going to need
three cupboard doors, however they are in three entirely different
sizes! We'll need 8 drawer fronts, but again these are 4 different
sizes..none of which fit the standard sizes of course.

So what's our best bet if we want to put more modern stuff in? I know
we can get made to measure but I'm concerned that will cost a fortune!

Not sure how much the budget can stretch to, I would think £300 would
be about it..

We facelifted my in-laws' kitchen a few years by covering the doors and
drawer fronts with some heavy duty adhesive plastic sheeting - sold in packs
for this purpose, complete with edging strips. It was flexible, but a lot
thicker than (say) fablon. This was easy to cut to size, and gave a
reasonable finish. Don't know whether you can still get it.
