Country Cabinet Kitchen Make-Overs
Lots of people are faced with the decision to make-over their country kitchen cabinets. Sadly, they are just unsure of where and how to start on such a seemingly time-consuming job. Well, worry not: The easiest and most affordable solution to make-over your country kitchen cabinets is to just paint them. Yep, you read correct, just paint.
From the most modest of country dwellings, to the more robust modern feels, kitchen paint schemes have really advanced and kept up with the times. It is important to recognize which kind of style look you want in the kitchen.
If you would like an airy country feel, or a more rustic steak house, or maybe you want a modern sleek country eatery, your layout strategy must come first.
Once your plan is taken care of, you need to consider color. There are some great color choices available for any country kitchen. If you are into the down-home country experience, then country blue and white are the mainstay colors. If you like the rustic and earthy feel than oranges and reds are perfect to apply. Are you into the contemporary feel? If so, look at the slate grays, and eye-popping reds. Regardless of the color you decide on, ensure you purchase enough paint to coat your kitchen at least twice. This will guarantee a nice rich color scheme, and give you walls that can stand up to years of use.
The next thing to consider is your hardware. One of the greatest ways to perform a quick, easy make-over of a kitchen cabinet is to just change the hardware. Country bumpkins, I happen to be one, love nice wrought-black handles, and knobs for their country style cabinets; whereas my husband, a contemporary up-town type of guy, loves modern stainless rods. Any choice you select will ensure that the look and feel of your kitchen is immediately altered to the style of your choosing.
The very last thing to consider is that while paint is inexpensive, hardware generally is not. Stay within your budget and remember to shop around. While the local home-improvement retailer may have the hardware you want, search online. Try some online auction sites, or home improvement stores. Often, they offer a bigger selection then you would find in your area. As for paint, ensure you buy water proof paint, and paint for kitchens.
Whatever the choice, remaking your country kitchen cabinets is a breeze!
