Refacing Old Cabinets

/in , /by

Refacing is when you decide to update an interior space instead of necessarily starting from scratch and replacing it. Some people opt for a DIY project, while others would prefer working hand in hand with a professional to help them through the entire project.

Refacing the kitchen cabinets
First: Check and examine the overall outlook of your cabinet, and determine whether the post-restoration process will make it last for over 10 years. If the damage is excessive then you better consider replacing your whole kitchen cabinet.

Each cabinet has its own refacing style, but it is still always important to consider using color while updating, for a dull tone you can always add a pop of color of maybe fire red or orange. Adding details such as bead board panels, elaborate lines and much more is going to give your cabinet a new feel.

How to determine if refacing your cabinet is the right project for you
You can simply refurbish the cabinets by painting or re-staining so as to give it that eccentric and dramatic effect.

Refacing involves:

  • Replacing old doors with new ones using a different wood.
  • Replacing the hardware, for example, pulls and knobs.
  • Either replacing or repairing damaged wood material.

Selecting the theme
The black and white theme is classical; you can opt for a black countertop with white chairs or cabinets. However, if you want to break the monotony you can always add a pop of color that is cohesive with your whole design theme.


If you want to repair a scratched cabinet surface, use stain and varnish to add a new coat. But, this is not something that you should do by yourself, unless you are a re-stain pro. DIY projects such as repainting and replacing door knobs and pulls are simple and less time consuming, but if it entails replacing the doors or drawers then a handyman is best suited for the project.

If you are thinking of remodeling your kitchen, you might need to consult an interior designer, architecture, or a kitchen designer to help you come up with a design plan.

Usually, under normal circumstances a refacing job ranges from $5000 to $ 15000. Before refacing, inquire on whether you need a permit, especially if it is affecting your plumbing and electrical system. It is advisable to always seek professional help from a refacing expert, if you are undertaking a DIY project.

Mixing Finishes with Style AKA the Unmatched Kitchen

/in , /by
In recent years the inkling of mixing cabinetry finishes in a kitchen design has gained a lot of cost popularity. Further, leaving a kitchen purposefully unmatched can make it feel more grounded and organic. Also, they are cost effective and if you love a specialty finish and your budget doesn’t allow it, you can always use it as an accent to capture the feel without digging deeper into your pocket.
Mixing interior finishes require little planning, when exceptionally done, even with inexpensive cabinetry it gives it that full custom look. Below are some useful ways of mixing finishes in a variety of styles:Using an inset cabinet construction: It sets a traditional tone and more pronounced by using a painted finish on stained wood on the island on a particular space. Additionally, opting for a painted finish reflects the paint color on the adjoining room.

For example, in an Asian-style kitchen, this could be minimized by using dark stained wood. Also, using minimalist kitchen require more planning so as to pull off well.

Using dark finishes on the lower cabinets: Using a light finish on the wall with added tall cabinets helps to keep things light and airy. The combination is dynamic and reserved at the same time arduous to achieve. However, a painted finish that would be too much for a whole kitchen to carry could work on a kitchen island.

Combining colors: Sometimes combining colors in a space is refreshing and unique. For example, using white softens the impact of the bright pink and stops it from being overwhelming. Notice what your eye does in response to where the colors break. Mixing finishes is not new, at the same time it is not the sole province of the higher end of the market.

The welcoming appearance of a kitchen usually determines how the viewer is going to see it; generally, the kitchen is where one can sit down for a cup of coffee and a piece of pie.

Using mosaic tiles: It adds a big emphasis to either the wall or floor of the kitchen; nevertheless, by trying to use the color similar to the tiles onto the cabinetry makes the kitchen appear clean and modern. View from the windows also adds a strong emphasis to the kitchen, you can add a green painted finish on the cabinetry and the woody tones keeps the attention exactly where it is supposed to be.


Sometimes a different finish can give a particular space a hutch, which entails using separate pieces of furniture. You can make the kitchen have two major focal points; for instance, the mantle hood and glass door wall cabinets, using dark wood finish on two island makes the kitchen have order. An island recess allows the viewer’s eyes to move through the room without having all its focus on one thing.

Using a loud color could somehow overwhelm the room; however, it could also work as an accent wall creating more emphasis in a certain space.

/in , /by

To begin with, white kitchens may be a no-brainer and stainless steel goes with everything. However, what do you do when you have black appliances?

You just need to maneuver about with your black appliances and make it work! That includes making the space feel less like a dark hole.

What of using black appliances in an off-white kitchen? Most people might be a bit skeptical of this color combination, but if you look at various interior design magazines you might as well convert. Keep in mind to have a dark countertops, backsplash, furniture flooring and accents, which assists in leveling the refrigerator range and integrating them smoothly into the space.

Dark wood: This combination together with dark appliances is a tried and true incorporation and it also feels fresh. Most of them have a nice symmetry and the use of black on the countertop anchors the black oven and refrigerator that wing it. Most people see black appliances as a default rather than a first choice.

Additionally, if you are opting for the industrial meets artsy look space, white looks bland. However, using stainless together with ultra-cool corrugated metal cabinet inserts, stay away from brighter colors as it will only make the kitchen appear more streamlined. Hence, black works as a beautiful balance.

Black, white and red: It has been considered to be a fab bistro-style space, which not only looks eclectic, but also cohesive at the same time. Red moldings go together with neutral colors and when used together with soft gray cabinetry ties it all together, you can pick a fridge that has a chalkboard paint to make it more unique.

Shades of blue: Most preferably a darker shade that is sapphire, try picturing black appliances next to a rich sapphire-hued cabinetry shine. You must be smiling all by yourself; this combination makes the colorful backsplash appear more unified together.

Dusty green: Ever thought of this color combination together with black? These two can make the perfect partner in crime, but in this case the kitchen. Keep in mind that it does not matter if the appliances have some stainless on them and to make dusty green appliances work using black appliances creates cohesiveness. Also, you can make the kitchen seats to have a warm wood accent giving the kitchen a great layer of depth.

Light wood: Usually, pale appliances look jarring against dark cabinetry, but the reverse also applies. Black appears sophisticated, sleek, and modern against light wood, on the stools you can use bright blues with a pendant lighting on the kitchen’s middle ground, assists in keeping the kitchen from feeling stark.
