Ok, so if you are looking for a fun and affordable way to add a little character to your outdated kitchen cabinets or even carry on a sleek new look to modern kitchen cabinets, then try adding this fun clock to one of your kitchen cabinet doors.

No matter what style kitchen cabinets you have, you can find a clock face that will carry on the vintage, conspiracy, or even retro look in your kitchen.

The trick is to find a clock kit that matches to updates the look of your kitchen cabinets. So, if you have sleek and modern kitchen cabinets with stainless steel kitchen hardware, then buy a clock kit that is in stainless steel as well. This will accent your stainless steel kitchen hardware and make your kitchen unique!

If you have a funky or retro kitchen décor, the go for more whimsical clock kits!

This Kitchen Cabinet clock is a fun accent piece that should fit into quite a few different styles of kitchen cabinets.

To Make a Update Your Kitchen Cabinets With a Clock You Will Need:

One Kitchen Cabinet Door

Clock Kit

Glue

Power Drill

Battery (Probably AA)

Now, I always come across great clock kits all the time. You can find them online, at hardware stores, and even at the arts and craft store.

Each of these would be perfect to make into this simple clock on your kitchen cabinets.

Drill a small hole in the middle of the Kitchen cabinet door. This will be for your clock kit, so you may want to take a look at that and see if there are any size conditions for this small hole. You don't have to center the clock face; you could offset it for some visual interest.

Tip: You may want to take down your kitchen cabinet for this project and then rehang it.

Now, you are ready to install your clock kit on the Kitchen Cabinet door. Follow the direction on the clock kit box. Each kit will be slightly different. I find clock kits at the hardware store, the home improvement store, and almost every single arts and craft store out there. I recommend a clock kit that runs on a battery so that you do not have to have a cord hanging out of the back of the Kitchen Cabinet, but that is complexly up to you.

Now, some clock kits will come with numbers, but you may find that they are do not update or compliment your kitchen cabinets in any way. You can always spray paint clock number with stainless steel paint to match stainless steel kitchen hardware. You can also use hammered metal spray paint to enhance vintage kitchen cabinets. You can also add accent colors in red, blue, or whatever colors will enhance your kitchen décor.

Pop a battery into your clock kit and you can now rehang your kitchen cabinet door.

Just remember, you can make this Kitchen Cabinet clock with any sized clock kit! Get creative and really make this a unique feature that will add to and update your kitchen on a budget!
