kitchen cabinets

4 years ago

Hi there,
Where the kitchen cabinets refurbished? If yes, what type of paint did you use to give a face lift on the cabinets? My cabinets are currently that ugly color cabinet. I love white cabinets! The project came out looking marvelous! Bravo

Thank you for your interest. The cabinets were redone by my professional cabinet guys. I'm not sure if they use oil or acrylic paint, but I know that it's sprayed on, and they always spray a lacquer finishing coat, that gives it a satin furniture finish. Here is a copy of the description of the kitchen work:

The original cabinet boxes were used, but re-skinned to hide the wood grain. A larger crown molding was used, as well as new shaker-style doors, brand new drawers, and inner pull-outs - all self/soft closing. A new stainless sink, faucet and cook-top were also added. The rest of the appliances will be replaced in stainless steel, as required. Gorgeous granite counter tops, a crackle subway tile back-splash, and antique brass knobs & pulls tie everything together with the new luxury vinyl floor. Of course, removing the dated fluorescent lighting, and adding recessed LEDs on a dimmer goes without saying!

Dear Azfar, I think your units are lovely, very sophisticated and much nicer than white. Your units and work tops are very similar to those I have in my kitchen, which also have black granite tops. I also have a wooden floor of a similar shade, please don't change this, it is lovely. I was aware when I had my kitchen fitted that the units appeared darker than in the showroom but this was due entirely to the colour of the walls they were installed on. To lift the units, and celebrate their beautiful colour, you should paint your walls a darker and contrasting colour, I have chosen a really shocking pink, Rock Candy, but there lots of options. The showroom I saw my units in used a burgundy colour, too dark for my Victorian kitchen. There are so many colour options which don't have to be expensive, play around with a few tester pots and see which you prefer. This is by far the cheapest option, and I'm sure you'll fall in love with your kitchen units again once your units are allowed to stand out. Incidentally your unit colour helps to visually integrate your stainless steel 'fridge, another reason to stick with it. If you want to add units in the future you could pick up on your new wall colour for a very stylish look.

It's wooden for me! Aluminium are great for being practical but you can get some really hard-wearing wooden ones, too!

How to clean Matt finish Kitchen cabinets??

This is an interesting question. It has been asked before. Cleaning gloss doors is far easier. I have super matt dove grey handleless doors and I agree they are not the easiest to clean. Might not show the fingerprints to your mind but once the light shines on them in a specific way then the mucky marks show up. One of the most effective things I’ve found is a Magic Eraser. You can buy these almost anywhere now including Poundland. Then there is Vuplex a spray cleaner but you won’t find it in the shops but can get it online. In my experience using Vuplex is smelly. It’s strong and makes the kitchen stink until the fumes have gone. You need the doors and windows open. Can’t recall what else was previously suggested but I guess people will add to this post.

Toaster under kitchen cabinets ?

We have ours on the counter but no cupboard above it. However, if you wanted to leave it under the cupboard then an alternative would be to attach a barrier under the cupboard to protect the wood? Ie thin sheet of metal or perspex or something like that that isn't noticeable. Just an alternative idea....
