Redoing Kitchen Cabinets Ideas

Find some redoing kitchen cabinets ideas from this article.


When you think your kitchen begins to look outdated or worn, you may also think that it needs a redoing or remodel. But then you also come up with a mind of your tight budget. What will you do with that? Don’t worry, there is always an answer for that, and here, you can find some redoing kitchen cabinets ideas cheaply.



Start from the preparation. No matter which method you choose, it is important to start with a clean surface. Therefore, you can start removing the doors from the frames by detaching the hinge from the frame first. You can then use a removable sticker to mark which door belongs on which cabinet to avoid confusion when you re-hang the doors. After that, you can remove the hinges and knobs and clean the metal parts with 0000-grade steel wool. Don’t forget to also clean the cabinet frames to remove any grease and dirt build-up, and do the same to the doors.

Second is refinishing, which is recommended for plain doors with no decorative trim or moldings, as it can be difficult to evenly sand in all the grooves and corners. Using fine grit sandpaper, you need to sand the finish off the cabinet frames and doors by wiping with a wet clean rag to remove any sawdust. You can then apply the stain or varnish of your choice and allow drying the recommended amount of time before reattaching the doors to the frames.

Third is painting session. You need to choose some colors to paint your cabinets. You should choose a paint that suits your intended décor and one that will hold up to washing regularly. You can then paint the frames and doors, including the back sides of the doors and allow drying before re-hanging. For more detail, you can use the same sponge or ragging techniques used in other areas of the house.

Fourth is papering by adding some interest by applying wallpaper in a complementary pattern to the center of the doors. You can use a vinyl or washable paper, which is recommended for ease of cleaning. You should determine what part of the pattern you want to use and measure the area to be covered. Then you can cut the paper and follow the manufacturer’s suggestions for applying.
