Three Very Simple Ways For Remodeling Cabinet In The Kitchen

By Paul Fox


A kitchen cabinet is a built in type of a furniture in the kitchen for the storage of cooking equipment, dishes, food, and silverware. Usually, some of the appliances like dishwashers, ovens, and refrigerator are integrated to the kitchen cabinetry. Presently, there are a lot of available types of cabinets.

In order to achieve the perfect and the quick makeover, you must be focusing only on the cabinet renovation. If ever you have decided on doing this renovation just by yourself, you will surely have lesser costs if compared to having the professionals do the work for you. Also, a remodeling cabinet Seattle WA only requires little upgrades and little changes for making the appearance of furniture new again.

There are only 2 steps which are very easy to follow in doing the remodeling. The first step is doing the replacement of hinges and handles. So that it would be easy for you on giving it the new look and making the process inexpensive, you will only need the replacement of existing hard wares. Handles are one of the important parts in cabinets. Having the pull handles cannot be replaced easily with knob handles because pulls leave 2 holes and knobs only require one hole in the center.

But now, the problem can be solved through using faceplates. These should be installed first before the knobs. The main purpose of these faceplates is to cover the holes left by drawer pulls. Pulls may also be covered with faceplates with two holes.

When you will replace the hinges, be sure to know if the cabinets are making use of mortise hinges or non mortise hinges. Know also if hinges will be required on being either a semi concealed or a fully concealed. Next is refinishing those existing cabinets. If the cabinets that you have are still solid in looks but you already tired of having that look, consider to change the finishes by painting or by staining.

Doing this will allow you on leaving the cabinet in its place, without the need to clear it out and live out with empty boxed for a few weeks. However, you need to make sure that all the items placed inside it are far from the edges when staining or painting the area. And one important thing is to make sure that before painting, the surfaces that are to be painted must be clean and smooth.

For smoothening the surfaces, a fine grit sandpaper may be used. This can help in smoothening the areas that are rough. Digs, nicks, or some other imperfections can be filled also by the use of wall filler or latex wood filler before starting to prime. When filling, follow the instructions carefully on the label.

Lastly, reface your cabinets. If you reface it, the only choice that can be considered as perfect is to change drawer and the door styles. So in order to achieve color matches, the front drawer should be applied with veneer.

There are many companies already in Seattle, WA that are selling some veneer panels which are made from thick plywood, similar to woods used in drawer fonts and doors. You can purchase also a stained or an unstained type of drawer front, plywood panel, door, and veneer. An unstained type gives more options for color.
