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.

Remodeling can be done in just three easy steps. So first is to replace the handles and the hinges. Replacing the existing hard wares can be one of the easiest and most inexpensive way for giving the cabinets a new look. The old handles are pull types and if you want to change it into drawer knobs, you will really have to deal with 2 holes since the knob has one hole only and is placed at the center.

But there is no need for you to worry because the knob can still be installed by placing a faceplate at the front of the drawer before installing the knob. Usually, the faceplates are used for covering the holes that are being created by drawer pulls. There are also available faceplates to be used for pulls having 2 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.

When doing this, you may leave your cabinet in the position and you will not be needing to clear out everything and live with those empty boxes in few or several weeks. But you still need to check if the items are not placed near the front edges if the area is being painted or stained. Before painting or staining, be sure to smoothen and clean the surfaces which are going to be painted.

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.

And lastly is refacing those existing cabinets. When refacing, the only perfect choice is changing the styles of the doors and of the drawers. For achieving the color matches, do a veneer application to the front cabinet.

There are already a lot of companies in Seattle, WA who are selling veneer panels made of thick plywood and these are the same as the wood species of most doors and drawer fronts. You may purchase either stained or may be unstained types of drawer fronts, plywood panels, doors, and veneer. The unstained types will give you more options for the color.
