Paint Your Cabinets

Some people really like painted cabinets. It is definitely a look. Most cabinets(that did NOT originally come painted) Have had varnish, lacquer,stain or all of these on them. That being said paint doesn't take very well to surfaces with those products on them without extensive prep work. In all honesty to really do a good job you will probably want to use a stripper followed by denatured alcohol to make sure the cabinets are free of those chemicals. If you are really after a quality job, It is not at all a bad idea to at all to leave this one to the pros. In other words,"Call your painter"

I guess I could have made 6 and 7 things to do to your kitchen on a budget. You can always paint the walls and yes, you can brake down and spend the money, and get a new kitchen. But that is not the direction we are going with this hub.

   You can do a couple of the things. Maybe tile the backsplash and get new drawer pulls or paint and new countertop. use your imagination and don't be scared. I really think people are afraid to do something in there kitchen. Plan it out, talk it over with the rest of the family and go for it. These things will give it a make over and you will still have a couple of dollars to go out to eat so you don't mess up that fresh kitchen.
