HI All, Does any one here know if and how I could reface or refinish my old and ugly looking ply wood laminated kitchen cabinets ? I did visit some local home stores and they seem to suggest nothing but a backbreaking expensive solution of getting my kitchen renovated.Just the cabinet estimates that I received were some whopping 12 k .phewwwIs there any other alternative for meI wish I was one of the lucky winners of Spice up my kitchen or similar shows.sigh;-( Can some one here suggest, how I can reface or refinish my already formaica / ply lamintaed cabinets (BTW they are laminated from inside too ;-( ???Helppppp !!
Wellthat would beat the hell out of being back driving this desk chair but if I had my preference, I'd bee in the woods up a tree right now!
Love the smell of freshly baked bread. This weather is perfect for it.
Yeah in the bed with a warm blanket and a warm body.
Cabinet refacing is a great option when it comes to upgrading the appearance of your kitchen, without going through the disruption of a full-blown kitchen renovation. a re-facing job can be done in as little as a day or two. This option provides the opportunity to create a fresh, new space, without the inconvenience of doing the dishes in your bathtub and having to order pizza for the duration of your remodel.The process of re-facing is relatively simple. Instead of removing the existing boxes that make up your current cabinets, you simply remove the doors and drawer fronts, re-skin the facing pieces of the boxes with a clean new veneer surface, and then replace the doors and drawer fronts with new ones that are available in the latest styles, colors and finishes. You can also replace the functional hardware of the drawers as well. Start to finish, the process involves less mess, less headache, and less down time for you and your family. So do it yourself!
Cheapest is to prime/paint with Melamine paint. or with a bit more money, buy peel and stick Stainless steel or Aluminum or Copper sheets (i would suggest to go to a metal sheet fabricator to cut your sheets, since they have the proper tools to bend/cut and would be more accurate fit for your cupboards and make sure you allow seam to bend around the edges for a neater, more professional look.) Stainless steel is very trendy! or with more money.just replace the door fronts and paint the base. or cut a retangular shape out of each door and get frosted glass install them and finish with mouldings. Repaint frames/base and get new handles. (could use chicken wire if your into the country look)
