Three Very Simple Ways For Remodeling Cabinet In The Kitchen

By Paul Fox


The kitchen cabinet is one type of a built in furniture that is used for storing the dishes, silverware, cooking equipment, and food. Usually, some appliances like ovens, refrigerator, and dishwashers are integrated into a kitchen cabinetry. There are many available cabinet types presently.

For achieving a quick and a perfect makeover, you should only focus on your cabinet renovation. When you decide to do the renovation, unlike hiring professionals to work for you, surely, the your costs will be lesser. Another thing is the remodeling cabinet Seattle WA requires only some little changes or upgrades to be able to make it appear like it is 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.

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.
