Turning around an old cabinet into a new one is surely a challenge and
especially so when there are guests arriving at your house and you have to
arrange money one way or the other. In all such cases building classic kitchen cabinets is the way to
go about it. You can not only save a lot of cash, but turn your cabinet into a
very classic model that anyone would admire.
You wish to know more about such cabinets? The classic types are
actually antique types where you have greater flexibility with the old model so
that by doing a reface you can bring it into an acceptable and even a rare type
of finish. Many classic cabinets when done well enough look much better than
the new cabinets bought from the market place.
You need to consider the condition which your present cabinet is in
after all the rough use it has to undergo. When the cabinet is dented, cracked
or damaged then you need to change those portions and this is best done when
you hire an able carpenter to assist you with the work. You must therefore be
sure whether you need to remove the old wood and replace them with new ones
bought from the lumber or the salvage yard.
You need to then measure the pieces of wood which in most cases would
be the front portions especially the cabinet door and drawers as they are
subject to maximum rough use. These are to be dismantled and then you have to
make purchase of the extra woods from the online or offline market. Try to keep
your eyes open while you search for you are sure to make a bargain purchase
materials from one of these sources for your classic kitchen cabinets.
The cabinet pictures that you will come across in the Internet and the
store catalogs would look stunning as though they are new. Your own cabinet
would surely look like this in its antique state if you work on it diligently.
Hence, after getting the old hard wood which would obviously save you a lot of
precious money you need to fix them and then clean it with soap and warm water.
It is only after the cabinet is dry that you would apply the primer after
closing little dents or small hairline cracks with wood putty.
Your classic kitchen cabinets
would surely look wonderful after you have fixed a new set of antique
accessories and painted it in dark color or light color to suite the kitchen
environment.
