DIY: Ikea Cabinet Redo to Magnetic Cabinet



We got a cabinet from some friends that were moving. I love the cabinet but it looks so bland in our kitchen. We are renting and as such can not paint the walls to rather then having white walls and a white cabinet I decided to have some fun and add some much needed color to my kitchen. Sorry but there is no before picture.


Here is what i did and how i did it.

DIY Magnetic Cabinet

Step 1: Remove door, it makes it a lot easier.



Step 2: Tape the door, I did this so I would not get the paint where I did not want it because I am messy.


Step 3: Grab your magnetic paint and follow the directions on the box. I recommend doing more layers then what they say otherwise the magnets do not stick well. I did about 6 to 7 layers


I used this magnetic primer i found at Home Depot


Step 4: After it dried I added a stencil to the black to give it some color.



Step 5: Remove tape and re attach door, this may have been the hardest part lol.

We use this cabinet for storing appliances and it works wonderfully but more then that it adds a little more color to my kitchen :)
