And secure it to the front edge of the plywood with the brad nailer.
Also you’ll want to keep the wood trim flush with the outside edge of the plywood base.
Finally, lightly sand the wood and apply either a stain or paint finish.
I chose a black stain for my base.
Once it was dry, I applied a grey stain over the top and immediately wiped it off.
This gave me the exact match to my cabinet finish.
Also, I tried out a few different stain combinations on scrap plywood before I actually stained my pieces.
Once the stain was completely dry, I applied 2 coats of a Wipe on Poly, sanding in between with steel wool.

OMG! Great Job!
Thank you Rebecca, I am loving the way it turned out! It’s made a huge difference in the way my laundry room looks and functions.
Looks good! The only problem for me is that I prefer a top loading washer instead of a front. So for that reason I’m out.
