Need help with cabinets

hace 10 años

Any cheap diy suggestions on what I can do with these cabinets? The hardware is in the center of the cabinet doors and that center portion is made out of particle board. The other part of the cabinets are solid wood.

I would remove hardware and -sand and paint cabinets, then add new pulls and handles. If you add new countertops, backsplash and appliances the kitchen will look brand new

Do you have close-up photos of the central panel hardware and the bottom cabinet's hardware? The latter looks different. Put in a coin or finger for scale. Take down the curtains for better light for phtos. Looks like a good kitchen layout.

Hi Cristina, your table looks very beautiful however I discourage to have such furniture at home because of the mirrors. I work as a feng shui consultant and I know that the mirrors have some kind of power and one should be very carful placing them in the house. My personal opinion is to have a mirror in the place where the mirror can´t see you while you are resting or sleeping because in long term it can have negative influence on you. The mirror was created to look at it and it shouldn´t be used extensively also because of the reflections of the light. The human eye naturally is used to see the light coming from certain directions, if it comes from the direction which is not used to the light, especially artificial one, it may effect your vision or have negative influence on your mood. I'm talking about something very subtle which sometimes may be felt after some time. Another thing is that I always encourage people to don´t use repetitive patterns in the house just simple irregular forms and calm and worm colours which make the space more cozy and more natural. If you need more help with the rest of your house please let me know. I could make a 3d visualisation of your place to shaw the layout. Best \Marcin

My project is a small convenience store. The client pretty much wants to use as much space from the lot as he cant so the floor plan is just a rectangle, a simple rectangle. In front there's a covered terrace and i tried to make an entrance that can stand out. The problem right now is I dont want the roof design to be simple, but I'm having trouble with this. Im attaching the floor plan and two options for the main facade. HEEEELP! El proyecto es una tiendita pequeña. El ciente quiso utilizar el terreno al maximo, es por esto que la planta arquitectonica es rectangular, un simple rectangulo. En la fachada principal hay una terraza cubierta y trate de hacer una entrada que resalte. El problema que encuentro ahora es un diseño para el techo que no sea simple. Estoy adjuntando la planta arquitectonica y dos opciones de fachadas. AYUUDA! Mil gracias.

The type of window, as well as the orientation of the room, are determining factors when choosing curtains. It is also important to consider the light we need in this space as well as the degree of privacy we want. The curtains help to dress anywhere so it is so important that you dedicate time to your choice and we help you in that. ☎️305-699-5589 Free Consultation www.artecblinds.com @artecblinds #blinds #windowtreatments #blackoutcurtains #curtains #interiordesign #interior_and_living #interiordesigner #decor #design #housedesign #homestyle #house #housedecor #homedecor #luxurylifestyle #luxuryhomes #styleathome #apartmentdecor #innovation #remodeling #renovation #roominspiration #roomdecor #love #beautiful #instagood #brickell #miami #realestate #generalcontractors

I'm not sure how much you are willing to take on. I would remove the hardware in the centre, fill it in with wood filler and paint the cabinets. Add hardware on the bottom corner. I would also put in a light valance under the cabinets.

I'm definitely NOT a professional, but I think your cabinets are gorgeous compared to our 80's oak kitchen when we moved in. Could u find more updated hardware like polished nickel pulls instead? Or sand the cabinets down and paint white, or even two toned- one color cabinets on upper row, lower cabinets a different color? The possibilities are endless: u could even do a beautiful backsplash and/or countertop and leave the cabinets as is, if they are in good condition( hard to see from the pic). Or just update appliances little by little. We are in our first house( a fixer upper) so we also need to remember, it's not a race to finish the whole house right away. Just try to think of one detail at a time to make the room stand out! I think it looks nice already, just add some color in there, even just accessories! I like your layout too!

Paint flat black and rub down... change hardware. With black appliances, this is the best choice. Add some accent pieces and rugs...maybe change lighting.

My dream kitchen would be white cabinets and black countertops but I don't know what color walls or what kind of backsplash.
Also, these pictures shoe the particle board better than the first picture, What is your advice on painting particle board? I've been told you can do it and I've been told that it would be very hard to do.
In the first picture the lighting is a ceiling fan and the diameter of it is very big (definitely not a standard ceiling fan). Any suggestions on what to do there because the hole from taking it down would be much larger than a normal light fixture size. (I'll get a picture of it tonight and post)
I would appreciate any suggestions! Thanks so much!!!

hey Kelly I like your idea paint cabinets, add new handles, and of course nice granite counter-top.

Thanks for additional photos. These cabinets look like perfect candidates for painting. I think you will need a couple coats of oil based primer to ensure the masonite is encapsulated and does not soak up paint. You can pop out the central panel in a few doors to replace with glass. Put on some new knobs in the usual places, not the centers. An alternative to DIY is to have a professional painter do the job.

Clean the ceiling fan and light and touch up any areas where the paint has been nicked. Replace the bulb if the old one is getting gray inside.

I suggest that some of the painter pros on Houzz may want to advise on painting masonite.

Sand and prime the back of door using Cover stain. Wait over night and then see if you can scratch it off using your finger nail. If it adheres paint with the paint of your choice.

Have you heard of Rustoleum Transformations? They have kits for painting kitchen cabinets. They come with a deglosser a tintable base color, a glaze and a top coat. Using the glaze is optional. I used one of these kits on my oak, 80s bedroom furniture and was very happy with the results. The kit runs about $80 and would probably do your entire kitchen. Here's a link to their site: http://cabinets.rustoleumtransformations.com/terms.php

Since they are only plywood in the middle, have you thought of taking out that section and replacing it with black wire? That can give a very French country look.

Can someone who knows how post an image? I found a photo by browsing "wire cabinets". Someday I will learn!

You could carry out the "Paris Bistro" theme with a window treatment out of french ticking (check out Country Curtains, I know they carry those) in a red stripe.

Wow!! So many great suggestions, I've never thought of the wire in the center. I definitely think I'm going to try and paint them!! Thank y'all so much

A more modern, but probably more pricey, way would be to remove the masonite on the upper cabinets and replace with a wavy glass...you can barely see behind some of the patterns, but they are beautiful.

If I took out the center part and put either black wire or glass, what should I do for the backsplash? Also what color should I paint the walls? The kitchen has a breakfast room and it is open to the family room so I assume it would all need to be the same color.

if you like black and white...and you're using the black wire... make the backsplash black or some patterned black and white to contrast with your white countertops (unless of course you're changing that); then you could stripe your walls with anything from black and white to white on white or somewhere in between. Or chose a soft subtle buttercream that will give you a sunny feel but fade into the background to let your black and white shine.

Also, if you're using the wire, you may want to think of putting a glass or clear acrylic behind it to keep out dust. Love the look of the wire but dust can become a real problem with an open cabinet, especially after the major redo you appear to have done.

Just for curiosity: do you have any photos of the inside of the cabinet doors to show how the central panel is attached?
