If you want to renew your kitchen, you have several options. The most common but also most expensive one is to replace your complete kitchen furniture by a new one. But if you like your kitchen, you should consider other options like replacing the doors or cabinet refacing. The last option is most probably the most time consuming but it gives you greater flexibility. You can choose the color and the handles exactly in the style you want. The only limitations can be made by your mind or your hands alone. If you decide to replace your doors, you should contact the manufacturer of your kitchen furniture. This guarantees that your new doors and drawers will fit perfectly to your kitchen. If you cannot contact your kitchen manufacturer, you need the exact measurements of all doors and drawers including the position of the hinges and use another options for your kitchen refurbishment.
If you decide to reface your kitchen, you can ask a professional contractor for help or you can perform the repair by your own. In principle, you have two main different options now. Either you want to renew the existing color or your want to change it totally. In the first case you need to remove the finish and renew the color while in the other case you must remove all residues of the color and apply the primer, the new color and the finish. A high quality finish is absolutely required since the kitchen furniture is exposed in many different ways. When you apply a new color, you can either use traditional brushes or a pneumatic system. The pneumatic system guarantees an equally distributed, shiny and glossy result. If you use brushes, you need to remove some of the surface irregularities by fine sand paper. But by working carefully with a brush you can obtain the same incredible result.
After you have repainted your cabinets, you can reassemble the kitchen furniture. If you want, you can change the knobs and holdings for the doors and drawers. You can find a huge collection of handlers and knobs at your local do-it-yourself shop. The only thing you need to bear in mind is that everything you buy has to fit to your home style. The knobs and door handles are usually not very expensive and can be easily installed. Although this repair is less time consuming than a complete refurbishment of your kitchen, you need to plan at least an entire weekend for a complete cabinets refacing. You have to remember that you need to reface many drawers and doors. In addition, some of the steps require some more time, especially drying of the primer and the color applied.
