Restoring your cabinetry can be quite the project, it could be
done over a span of time or it can be done over a weekend of hard work.
Restoring your cabinets is always worth it though. It can vastly improve the
feel of your kitchen and your home. Changing the cabinets will add a fresh
look, making your home feel charming and warm.
How do you
go about this in the easiest way? Well you will first want to plan out what
you want to do to restore them. You want to assess the damage too. Not all
cabinets will be in tip top shape so we suggest taking extra time with the
cabinets that aren’t even close to being up to par. Some may have holes in
them or falling down. You can take these ones off first, sand them down and
then work on the quality of them. You may have to plaster the cabinets that
have holes.
To restore all the other cabinets that don’t
have damage done to them you will still want to follow the same steps of
removing the hardware, sanding and priming. Next you can paint your cabinets
according to the color you planned. We always suggest going the opposite of
your countertops, this adds a focal point and gives the illusion that your
kitchen is bigger than it actually is.
Once you are done
painting your cabinets, here is the fun part… You get to pick the new
hardware! Adding fresh hardware gives you the chance to spruce up the kitchen
without breaking your bank. And it is quite easy we might add. Just head to
your hardware store and make sure they are all matching. We have seen a whole
kitchen space change just with adding fresh
hardware.
Lastly, if you want to have a little fun and have
the budget then we love a custom kitchen. You can add a fun feature cabinet
by removing the inside layer of your cabinet and replacing it with
plexiglass. You can add small lights to the tops of the shelves to make your
nice dinnerware shine and give the look of a high class remodel.
