Refurbishing your kitchen doesn't have to take a huge bite out of your wallet if you update slowly and focus on one area at a time. Sometimes simple changes can make a dramatic difference. You might be surprised at how replacing the cabinet hardware or changing a light fixture can bring new life into a tired kitchen. Most areas can be change in a weekend and will cost less than $100. Just think, if you focused on one area of your kitchen each week, you could have a brand new kitchen in less than three months. Here are a few suggestions for some of the major areas of your kitchen. Paint Paint is the best way to make an easy and inexpensive change to your kitchen. There is nothing in your kitchen that you can't paint - except the food, of course. Covering those dated wood cabinets by painting them white can make a small kitchen seem larger. If the walls or cabinets are in poor condition, a faux finish will help hide the blemishes. Be creative and go wild. Paint is never permanent and can easily be changed if you don't like the look. Countertops A stained or outdated countertop can spoil the whole look of a kitchen. Rather than replacing it, you might consider tiling over it. If even that is outside of your budget, consider re-laminating it. Laminate sheets can be purchased at almost any home improvement store and are cheaper than purchasing new countertops. Plus they are lighter, easy enough for one person to install, and come in a variety of finishes, colors, and styles. Cabinet Hardware Changing the cabinet hardware is another way to update the look of your kitchen. It can be surprising how such a little thing can make a big difference. Cabinet pulls and handles are available in a variety of different designs, shapes, colors, sizes, and textures. If your kitchen cabinets have hinges that show, you may need to replace these at the same time, so budget accordingly. Cabinet Doors and Drawer Fronts Replacing only the cabinet doors and drawer fronts is much cheaper than installing all new cabinets. If this is out of your budget, consider replacing the inside panels of your cabinets with lattice door inserts. They are unique and add an interesting texture. Additionally, the inside panels can be replaced with clear glass to display your favorite dishes and glassware. If you don't want your cabinets on display, use can use frosted glass. If you already have glass cabinets and have grown tired of having your clutter on display, consider using chicken wire behind the glass or hang fabric from small curtain rods on the inside of the cabinets. Finally, let me have a short conclusion.
