As the
years go by, our once lovely kitchen cabinets become old, dusty, and well…ugly.
And as much as we would love to remodel our entire kitchen and buy brand new
kitchen cabinets, that would require thousands of dollars that we are probably
not willing to spend. But we have good news for you: with a new, fresh coat of paint, your old
cabinets will be looking as good as new!
The idea behind this
is that cabinets are very long-lasting but the paint, on the other hand, isn’t.
But then we should focus on fixing what the real problem is instead of going
and buying completely new stuff. Now you might think that will be expensive as
well, since you are going to have to hire a professional painting contractor so
that it actually turns out ok, but don’t worry, you can turn this into a fun
do-it-yourself project and get an awesome price!
The first
thing you want to do is clean your cabinets really well because if they are
dirty and dusty the paint will easily peel off and you are not going to obtain
the fresh, new cabinet look you’ve been dying for. Once they are clean, you
want to get a prime-sealer since that will leave a smooth uniform surface.
After you apply it, you simply need to start the painting job! It’s amazing how
the only thing you need for your cabinets to look brand new is paint!
There is no doubt
that painting your cabinets yourself can save you a lot of money but that is
not the only reason why you should do it. If you buy cabinets in a retail
store, the color options are very limited, basically several shades of brown.
The most extravagant a cabinet color gets is some kind of cherry shade and
maybe you want to spice things up and get something a little different!
Whatever the reason, painting your cabinets yourself is a great option!
