Kitchen cabinet facelift


My client had a kitchen with tired but still fully functional particle board cabinets. He wanted to improve things asthetically without the cost and hassle of pulling out and completely replacing the cabinets. I suggested that with a relatively quick and easy paint job I could transform them into new "wood" cabinets.


Ta-dah! A completely new feel. The cabinets now tie in nicely with the pergo floor, the backsplash is "tinned", the out-dated wallpaper is covered with new texture and paint. A completely updated kitchen for only $2000!
