Can I use regular paint to refinish my Kitchen Cabinets????

If the cabinets are made of real wood, frequently found in older homes, they can be painted with normal paint. They need to be thoroughly cleaned to remove any grease that has accumulated from cooking. Kitchen surfaces collect a thin film of grease and dirt over time. If the cabinets have a gloss or semi-gloss finish, the old surface should be lightly sanded before repainting to help the paint adhere better. Use a gloss or semi-gloss latex paint for kitchens and bathrooms. These paints are intended for use in areas with higher than normal humidity levels and are more resistant to wear.

It is a very good idea to remove the shelves, doors, mounting hardware, and the door handles before you begin to work on the cabinets. The cabinets are much easier to work on if you don�t have to mask the hardware and paint around it. This takes some time at the start and finish, but the cleaning, sanding, and painting go much faster and more easily. The final job will look better, by eliminating those brush marks around the door handles and hinges

The cabinets in many modern kitchens have a simulated wood finish or a non-painted coloured finish. These are fabricated of a synthetic material, such as melamine. The finish can be painted over with a normal gloss or semi-gloss latex paint for kitchens and bathrooms. It should be prepared as described for wood cabinets, with particular attention to sanding. The existing surface should be sanded until it is evenly dull everywhere. If the paint does not fully adhere to the old finish, it can chip, flake, or peel off quite easily. If the new finish becomes damaged in this fashion, you will need to sand the area around the defect to feather the edges of the paint around the defect. This will help prevent a visible ridge when the surface is repainted. A poor finish will look terrible once it begins to chip.

It is a very good idea to apply a coat of melamine primer, or other primer intended for use on synthetic surfaces, before you apply the final finish. These primers are designed to adhere to the existing finish more effectively than regular paints and they provide a good surface for the new paint to adhere to. If the cabinets had a dark finish, two coats of primer may be required. The use of a suitable primer is highly recommended.

Kitchen Makeovers for Apperance or Function

n older homes, a room makeover is often necessary not just to improve appearances but to increase functionality as well. A room makeover can spruce up the look of a dingy den, but it could also make a living room or study more technology friendly. In no place in the home, however, does a room makeover make more sense than in a kitchen. Older kitchens often lack the space and storage that the modern kitchen requires, not to mention the amenities that many new homeowners take for granted.

Kitchen Makeovers for Appearance
When you already have all the things you want and need in your kitchen, a skin-deep change is often all that's necessary.

Countertops are one place where a kitchen makeover can have a very noticeable effect, without the need to pull anything up or tear anything down. After years of use, countertops can look pretty sad; getting stained, stabbed, and sliced for decades can really take its toll. Many different countertop materials can be installed directly over the existing countertop in an hour or two. The measurements are taken, the material is decided upon, then the new counter is fashioned to slide right on with no mess or hassle.

Cabinets are what a kitchen makeover is all about. There are so many different cabinet options that you're sure to find one that suits your needs and tastes. Even if you don't replace the entire cabinet structure, some spiffy new doors and hardware can change the feel of the room for the better, without the high price or long labor.

Flooring is subjected to a lot of wear and tear, and it can get downright ugly after years of traffic. If you're lucky enough to already have some good hardwood in your kitchen, you may want to have it stripped and refinished to enhance the look. Those dealing with a floor that's beyond saving can, of course, install new linoleum, but a lot of modern homeowners are opting for laminate. It looks like wood, the performance, in many cases, is even better, and the price is significantly cheaper.

Kitchen Makeovers for Function
Rather than just scratching the surface, a functional kitchen makeover is often about pulling out and replacing appliances and fixtures. Many people find that one of the things they most want to replace in an old kitchen is the sink. With built in water filters, spray hoses, and wider (or multiple) basins, new sinks have far more options than their predecessors. They'll also look nice, to boot!

Older kitchens are often missing dishwashers, which can be a big job to install if the room wasn't designed to accommodate one. Old stoves are often unreliable and can't properly perform the job they're supposed to do. A new fridge (maybe one with an ice maker) is another common replacement. One of the greatest things about getting all new appliances is lower energy consumption. Those who use their kitchens a lot may very well notice a marked difference when the electric bill comes around.


No matter if you decide to just refinish your current cabinets or purchase new ones you can contact our Kitchen Designer at EZ Furniture Assembly & Inter innovations to assist you in making the decisions as well as helping you find the best materials at the lowest prices.
