Is it possible to trim this cabinet down?

I have this cabinet and I want to trim it down from 24" to at least 20" wide. How much involvement would it take? If it'll take way too much time, does anyone know where I can purchase similar style cabinets (so that it match the rest of my cabinets in my kitchen) but smaller size? I need it to be less 20" wide and 30" tall?

Thank you and appreciate any response.

Looks like a pretty standard cabinet door style, but the drawer is a little odd. No, you probably can't rework the cabinet. They don't make 20s so you will have to go 18 with a single door and drawer, unless you plan to have it custom built. And that drawer might be custom in the first place.

Any suggestion what this type of door panel is called? I've searched on Sears and Amazon but I have not found a similar type of style? They carry raised panel but they're slightly different that my current one.

You mean the drawer style or the raised panel?

I was referring to the raised panel.

This panel door is raised but is concave instead of convex.

It's a style of ogee. Leads me to believe they might be custom. Each company will have standard profiles... But a custom shop will sometimes have a non standard bit.

I see. I have a router, perhaps I may have to purchase the router bit and create it self if I can't find any already made there. Thanks!

If so, keep in mind you need a 1/2" collet and bits for profiles of that size.

So, what router bit do I need to make the convex profile?

The door would be pretty easy I think the drawer could be 2 pieces. Does the part with handle on it stand out more than the door? The drawer would be a lot easier to make as 2 pieces. I would take the door and drawer to a local wood workers store and see if they have anything to match. the profile. There are so many blades for router it would be hard to tell anything from picture. It takes a pretty hefty router to use those bits. I think mine is 3 HP. Use a lot of care when using a bit that big. I have a hole in my wall there it threw a door panel .

No that kit is not an exact match.

No, you probably can't rework the cabinet.
Attempting to remake that cabinet would prove to be a white elephant in more ways than one.
