It is hard because my cabinets are old. I am planning on putting newer hinges and handles on them.

it is found at Lowe’s to transform the old counter tops

The cabinets are metal and we’ve painted them enough and want to change them inexpensively. Maybe door and drawer refacing or replacement? We don’t want to take the cabinets out.

I want to jazz the place up a bit. Thanks!

Ok, first of all I have a small kitchen and a small budget. My house is very old and the last time the kitchen was remodeled looks like some time in the 50-60s. I just bought stainless steel appliances for the kitchen, to replace the non-working olive green 70s era ones, so there is like no money left. The cabnets are painted white, which are fine for now. The counter top is white with pink flake in the design, eww! The backsplash is all bright pink tiles. The walls are yellow. Since it will be a few years before I can remodel, and this is my first home, I would like any suggestion of a masculine color to paint the wall the would maybe make it not so bad. I was thinking a chocolate brown? Any inputs? A $20 gallon of paint has got to be better than this ugly color scheme. Thanks for any help

Where can I find such an animal?

hi, thanks so much for volunteering! My uncle have a couple of condos I’m going to be selling. The kitchens are pretty dated. One has very simple cabinets with just flat, plywood doors that I’ve painted in the past. The other has what I think are probably veneer covered cabinets. Can these both be refaced? And is it worth it? Any idea of the cost for a small kitchen? I’d really rather not replace all the cabinets, but I don’t want it to look like junk either, just to save money. Thanks!

For my design project, I’m designing a U-shaped kitchen. I plan to put a island in the middle. The island is 2×3 feet. The distance from counter to island is 3 feet(36 inches) on 3 sides. Do you think this would be too tight? I can’t make the space bigger without making the island smaller(can’t move the walls).

I love bright colors. I want to paint my kitchen bright green. Kind of a lighter bright green…almost like the yahoo answers bars, haha!
The problem is I don’t know how to transition to the living room and hallway which attach to the kitchen. I don’t want the entire house bright green…though I do love a bright, beachy, fun look all over the house. I need suggestions of how to make the whole house look good and bright and fun but not overwhelming. The kitchen is the biggest room in our small ranch style home.
Help please!?! Pictures would really help me too~
I’m painting myself and plan on making a home depot trip today or tomorrow.
Thanks for the help!
