Cabinetry Makeover
Dark and dated
kitchens are a common angst for SW Florida homeowners. An easy update to a
lighter and brighter kitchen or bath is
have the cabinets painted. Painting the cabinetry is a more budget-friendly way
to give your home the look you crave. Of course, the cabinetry needs to be in
good condition. If the cabinets are warped or crumbling, paint won’t fix that. But
if the cabinets are in good shape, painting can literally save you thousands of
dollars over replacing the cabinets.
If you plan to
replace the hardware , keep the current hardware spacing in mind. If you plan
to go from a knob to a handle, the painter needs to know that before the
cabinets are painted so that the proper prep work can be done.
Even though some
paints declare they are paint and primer all in one, I always prime the cabinet
first. Proper preparation makes all the difference in the world. I’ve used a
variety of paint brands over the years. What brand and type I use depends on if
I’m painting for one color or creating a faux finish. If its just one color, I
suggest Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane. It flows like melted butter.
Here are some before
and after examples of changing dark finish cabinets to modern airy look. ( the
color used in the next 3 photos is Sherwin Williams Moderate White SW6140).
A world of difference:
