Refacing previously refaced kitchen cabinets?
Comments (2)Yes, I'm concerned about the face frames that are already covered in one layer of refacing. Was wondering if they just get covered over with another layer or if the first layer has to come off. It just seems like a second layer would make for a very thick cabinet. They do seem sound. I believe it was done professionally, so well that I didn't realize at first that they had been refaced. This is not something I would tackle myself, but just trying to educate myself before I call a contractor who might promise results that can't be achieved. Thank you for the link....See Morereface/re-stain/re-paint kitchen cabinets?!?!
Comments (2)I actually would strip those doors to natural wood if they are actually walnut make sure all your lighting is LEDs in 4000k before doing anything. I can’t see those cabinets painted white I think it will make them look cheap unless done in high gloss white laquer....See MoreKitchen Cabinets Refacing—Need help choosing a color!
Comments (7)I wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who responded, especially live_wire_oak and millworkman. I took both of your advice. I hired a color consultant, per Live_Wire_Oak suggested. The consultant came up with colors for throughout the house, including a lovely creamy white for the majority of the house. Once the walls were painted, we realized that the backsplash needed to change (as Millworkman suggested). Chose a beautiful blue glass subway tile which brought out the blue in the granite and the lighting. We are so pleased with the way the kitchen turned out. Hiring a color consultant was the best $$ we have spent on our house. Thanks everyone!...See MoreKitchen cabinet refacing, stain colors.
Comments (3)You are not a good candidate for refacing. I went through hell with a reface job on my old kitchen and am now replacing the whole thing. if your cabinets arent functional, replace. you could do a beautiful ikea kitchen for less than refacing....See Morermshill
