Time For A Change? 4 Easy Ways To Remodel Your Kitchen Cabinets

If you don't have the budget for new cabinets, try remodeling instead. You might not realize it, but you can remodel your kitchen cabinets. Remodeling your cabinets will give your kitchen a whole new look. And, you won't need to spend a fortune on the project. If you're not sure how to remodel your kitchen cabinets, read the list provided below. You'll find four simple ways to give your kitchen cabinets a whole new look. 

Strip Them Down 

If you want to give your cabinets a simple makeover, it's time to strip them all the way down. If you have wood cabinets, you can strip off the paint to expose the natural grain. Once the paint is gone, you can varnish the wood to create a natural appearance. Or, you can apply a fresh coat of stain. After the stain dries, apply a clear-coat finish. This will make your wood cabinets easy to clean. 

Stress Them Out

If the paint has started peeling off your wood cabinets, stress them out a bit more. Distressing the wood will give your cabinets a vintage look. Distressing is an easy process. You'll need some sandpaper or some steel wool. Find the areas where the paint is cracking or peeling. Use your sandpaper or steel wool to remove small areas of paint. This process allows the natural wood to peek through the paint. You can distress as much, or as little, as you like. 

Go for High Gloss

If you want to give your cabinets a more modern flair, now's the time to go heavy on the gloss. With this process, you'll need to strip the cabinets down to the bare wood. Once you've stripped the cabinets, apply several coats of your favorite color paint. Be sure to let the paint dry between coats. After the paint dries, apply at least two coats of high-gloss acrylic varnish. Again, be sure to let the varnish dry thoroughly between coats. 

Say No to Doors

If you're ready to take the minimalist approach to your cabinet remodeling project, it's time to lose the doors. You might think that doors are an essential component for your cabinets, but they're not. In fact, by removing the cabinet doors, you can give your kitchen a whole new look. Not ready to give up the doors? Replace the door inlays with plexiglass. You'll get a clear view, without losing the doors.
