Kitchen Cabinet Facelift
|
 I finally decided to do something about those ugly 70's brown kitchen cabinets. We can't afford to remodel the kitchen and replace them entirely, but a fresh coat of paint can do wonders in the mean time. 3 coats of Killz and 2 coats of white did the trick. We used the same hardware and althought the brass hinges don't exactly match, they don't look too bad either. New hardware would mean rebalancing all of the doors and I didn't want to deal with the hassle. We touched up the window sills and fixed some of the paint damage that happened over the past year. I also spackled and sanded the area behind the stove to make it smooth. It took about 9 hours total between yesterday and today. I bought some vinyl tile to make a poor man's backsplash, but it didn't stick very well. I decided to abandon the idea and perhaps revisit it on a warmer, dryer day. We're very happy with the results of the paint job though. The floor needs work, but that's for another day...
