What a task we have taken on! We decided to spruce up our kitchen just a little bit and of course on a simple budget. I dont know about you but it feels good when you make your space more homey and inviting. Is not hard to make a few changes on a budget and still make a room feel like you spent a lot more.
I like to work with the items and furniture that I have, I think you shouldn’t get rid of an item/furniture that once you loved and because it looks different or dated you feel is time to throw it away. Today, I will share how with just some paint, some time and dedication you can get motivated to spruce up that area you have been wanting to change for some time. Before, I make any changes specially if it will cost more than expected I discuss it with my family, let them know ahead of time of an idea that I have and I ask for there opinion, once we agree then we set up a date on when to get started.
So lets Begin:
Day 1 & 2
We started to remove each door and hinge, on each door that was removed we would code it with a letter in order as they are removed.
Day 1
- Remove Door & Hinge (only did one section)
- Empty Cabinets
- Sanded doors that were removed
- Paint Cabinet with one coat
- Paint Frame
Day 2
- Paint Cabinets with extra coat (as needed)
- Paint Frame with extra coat (as needed)
- Remove Door & Hinge (only did one section)
- Sanded doors that were removed
Here we were Painting and giving our final coat around the frame, in the mean time my husband was adding the door handles using a template. We bought our template on Lowes, (our template was Liberty Silver Cabinet Mounting Template) it made the process so much easier and the template cost less than $5.00.
