Build Your Personality

Do you want a new look in your kitchen? A kitchen makeover can be very expensive so if money is tight, consider buying a cabinet refinishing kit instead. This type of kit will change the look of your kitchen with out all the time and expense of completely remodeling.

Over time, a cabinet can show its true age, with a dull look that can sometimes be embarrassing. You can not change the look with a new set of curtains or a pattern theme. You have to change the look in a more in depth way.

You can change the shade of your cabinets from dark to light. You will need to choose your stain shade before you begin to roll up your sleeves and start. You do not need to do any drastic changes such as replacing the furniture but you simply need to purchase a kit and begin. In the end, your project will be simple, completed by you, and cost you a fraction of what a remodeling job would have cost you.

Every kit is different but what you usually get with a standard package includes an adhesive base coat, wood coating, stain, paintbrushes, a stain applicator, scuffing pad, stirring paddles, and instructions. If you have a particular way to do a project, you can put your own package together.

You can also choose to remodel your bathroom cabinets using this same kit. With the constant change in temperatures, the wood on cabinets in the bathroom can be dull and boring. With a special refinishing package for bathrooms, you will be able to create a new look for a fraction of the cost. Cutting down the cost of a new look, you will be able to buy those accessories you need to create the look you want.

Where can you find the packages? You can find a huge selection of kits available at your local hardware and home improvement store. Choose a small, medium, or large kit. In this kit, you will have the option to personalize it with the stain that you desire. You can take a picture with you displaying the color you like the most. You can compare the colors and purchase the stain that is almost a match. Remember, these projects take a long time so be sure and allow yourself an entire weekend to complete and also make sure you have all the surprise you need before you start. Then you will not have to stop before you are done.

Before you get started, get all your supplies together and prepare to work. If you do not have everything you need, you will need to stop working long enough to go get it. This can take up valuable time and stop you from completing your project. Cover the table you plan to work on with something that can absorb the stain. Next, take off the door that you plan to work on and place it on the table. Then you can follow the directions to see how to best begin the project.

Before you begin, make sure you have everything you need. If you have to stop to get something you may end up having more time in the project than what you need to. Make sure you cover the table before you begin working with the stain. Then take off the door of the cabinet, and then stain. Once you are done, and it dries, you will be able to hang the cabinet door back up. Make sure to follow all the directions that come with the cabinet refinishing kit.
