The first thing I do is cut a stick to the length of the object I am measuring against (here it's the cabinet door). Once I located the center of stick, I added marks for the top and bottom location of the applique. I also have marks on the back of the stick for side-to-side centering.
Why use this instead of a ruler?
- No chance of getting wrong number on the ruler (unfortunately that's happened a lot)
- I don't have to mark the door
- I dont have to find the center of the applique
- A ruler rolls up, the stick just stays there

I am curious how you made the green doors. I am making kitchen and bath cabinets for our addition and haven't decided yet how to make the doors. I like the look of yours.
