If you’re thinking about updating the look of your kitchen, it’s likely because you know you spend a good amount of time in it. In fact, did you know that the average American spends one million minutes, or 37 minutes a day<\/a> in their kitchen during a lifetime.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This actually makes a lot of sense, considering the fact that the kitchen is the main place for social gatherings. A lot of memories will be made there and cherished for a lifetime. So don\u2019t you think your kitchen should be a place you and your guests love to be?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Makeover Your Kitchen With New Cabinets<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKitchen remodel\u201d can be an intimidating term\u2014but it doesn\u2019t have to be. There\u2019s actually one simple remodeling project that can give the illusion of a completely new, fresh kitchen: a cabinet color change<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Which Should You Choose For Your Cabinets: Paint Or Refinish? <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Two of the most easy, affordable methods for updating old kitchen cabinets are refinishing<\/a> and painting. Here are the pro\u2019s and con\u2019s of each option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Cabinet Refinishing<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Pro\u2019s<\/em><\/strong>: Cabinet refinishing enhances rather than conceals the natural grain of your wood surfaces. Refinishing is a quick, effective way to restore rich color and tone to cabinets, correct discoloration, and remove stains. You\u2019ll be left with beautiful cabinets full of character and dimension within as little as 1-2 days when done by professionals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Con\u2019s<\/em><\/strong>: Cabinet refinishing<\/a> leaves you with a natural look to your cabinets\u2014not a solid color like blue or white. Refinishing brings new life to the wood of your cabinets at a fraction of the cost compared to other techniques, but doesn\u2019t give you a drastic, unnatural color.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Note<\/em><\/strong>:<\/em> An excellent choice could also be a cabinet color change<\/a> that alters your wood finish to a significantly lighter or darker tone\u2014like from oak to walnut. This gives you a more drastic makeover while keeping the integrity of a natural wood grain. Color change services only take about 3-5 days to complete.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Painting <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Pro\u2019s<\/em><\/strong>: If you\u2019re looking for a dramatic custom color<\/a> that isn\u2019t a natural wood shade, painting could be right for you. This is a good choice if you want a solid bright color instead of more natural, textured cabinets.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Con\u2019s<\/em><\/strong>: Painting cabinets is a very time-consuming undertaking. This isn\u2019t a project to be attempted yourself. A lot of painting companies miss crucial steps in the cabinet painting process, causing the wood to peel, drip, or leaving behind unwanted brush strokes. If painting is the method you choose, it\u2019s best to find a company who offers custom cabinet color finishes<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
