Trim for cupboard doors?
 
CathyLee:

C I have plywood cupboards, which I have sanded, primed/sealed, and would
C like to add a shaker style trim, about 3/8" thick and 3" wide, and
C paintable.
C
C I asked at the building supply and their only suggestion was to use 1/4"
C birch ply good one side.
C
C Do you have another suggestion that I could ask for at the next store I
C go to?

I would think a veneer would be better. Adding a quarter-inch to the
cabinets seems like quite a bit!


C Is there a specific placement for the wooden knob I am going to add or
C can I stick them anywhere?

Wherever you think they look best! :) The closer to the hinge side
of the door the more difficult it will be to open the door. I presume
you are doing the entire kitchem; be sure to be consistent with the
knob placement. All of the upper cabinets (above the counter) have
their handles on the side opposite the hinges, a couple of inches from
the bottom of the door. All of the lower cabinets have the handles on
the top. The drawers have the handles centered.
