Refurbish Your Kitchen Cabinet Doors

My wife and I were feeling like it was time to give our house a bit of a makeover but didn’t know where to start, and if there were any drastic changes we could even make on a limited budget. We looked into prices for kitchen remodeling and found that we could get brand new high quality kitchen doors for a nominal amount of money.

Our kitchen was looking kind of retro with faded off-white paint on the kitchen cabinet doors that was worn and chipping, and old-style wood designs that reminded me of my grandma’s house growing up. Though this is a fond memory, we’re a modern couple and needed a change.

The places we went to price out our kitchen doors were very helpful, and any home improvement store will give you a large selection of kitchen cabinet doors to choose from, but we were not impressed with the price tags we were faced with. Looking online was our next step, as it usually is when undergoing any venture, and we were surprised at what we found.

Many internet websites have a search bar right on the home page of the household store you are navigated to, so you can type in what kind of specific kitchen door you are looking for. You can do a search for the wood type, color, style, and even method of install so that you are getting the exact kitchen cabinet door you are looking for.

The website we found even had helpful hints on how to disassemble our existing kitchen doors, and a tutorial on the correct way to install the new ones. This saved me a trip back to the home improvement store to rack the brains of some trained kitchen installation guy (we were planning for this to be a self-install the whole time, do you know how expensive installation labor is?!)

Having this guide to refer back to made the whole process go smoothly, and it even told me what tools to use for installing my kitchen doors, and little tips and tricks to cut my time in half. I don’t know the first thing about being a handy man, and if I could install my own kitchen cabinet doors, then so can you.

My wife and I were so happy with how it turned out; she is begging me to take on other projects like building an extension to our back porch. I am far from the go-to install guy, but found this project actually kind of fun. They always say that if you can live through the stress of remodeling a room of your house with your spouse, you are destined to thrive in your marriage, but the process of installing the kitchen doors wasn’t as bad as we expected.

To anyone who is looking into installing your own kitchen cabinet doors, make sure you find an expert who is going to walk you through the process (or do it for you, if you have that kind of money). And always refer to an online guide so you know you are doing it correctly.
