Tuesday, November 30th, 2010

1. Before starting to paint the cabinets, remove all the objects inside of them. Then, remove all doors and hardware, like doorknobs, hinges, latches. Try and not paint over existing hardware because it will make the cabinet look messy and also it will be a problem for you when you install new hardware.
2. Now it’s time for cleaning. Use a mild soap and water solution to clean the wood surface. Allow the wood to dry completely afterwards.
3. Use a fine sandpaper (220) to sand the wood surface. This will eliminate any imperfections and will also help the paint and here to the surface.

4. Apply a coat of oil based primer to the surface of the cabinet. These products are the best for kitchen furniture as they hold out better to humidity and heat.
5. After the primer has dried, sand the surface once more, but this time very lightly.
6. Now it’s time to apply a high quality oil paint. Choose the right kind of paint that will adhere to your cabinets. This will help prevent peeling after the paint has dried. Take the necessary prep steps prior to painting your kitchen cabinets to ensure they look brand new when you’ve finished with the job.
7. Apply a second coat of paint. If you want to give the flat surfaces a smooth and beautiful look, you can use some small wiz rollers.
8. After all surfaces have dried, reinstall the hardware and doors.
9. The secret to a good cabinet paint job is the quality of the paint. Always use oil based paint because it’s resistant to scratches and peeling. via: mustknowhow

Birch, a strong hardwood, is a classic kitchen cabinet wood. Birch kitchen cabinets not only stand up well to bumps and scrapes, they’re considered the least expensive wood cabinet choice. If you’re on a limited budget and like light to medium wood tones that feature small knots or burls, birch kitchen cabinets may work well for you.

If you prefer wood that has a consistent graining and color intensity, birch kitchen cabinets may not be the best choice since they don’t always have a uniform surface appearance. It’s a good idea to look at birch cabinets in person at a home improvement company showroom to get an idea of your wood style preference. Birch is a light wood that usually has cream to yellow undertones. A typical birch kitchen cabinet finish is medium brown, but white to pinkish-brown finishes are also available.

If the name rubber wood doesn’t sound familiar, the wood is also known as plantation hardwood and para wood. If you buy a piece of furniture described only as “solid hardwood,” chances are it’s made of rubber wood. The product of latex rubber plantations, the wood until recently was burned as junk wood. Furniture manufacturers discovered that this hardwood is easy to work with and inexpensive to acquire. The rest, as they say, is history.

Rubberwoodd naturally varies in color from creamy white to medium brown. Unstained, naturally finished rubber wood furniture is popular in other countries, but much of the rubber wood furniture in the US is stained or painted. Armstrong’s rubber wood cabinets come in stains ranging from soft white to nearly black, but not a natural finish. read more: buildingproductsguide.com

In the 1960s they were among the few companies that were sensitive to the first stirrings of industrial design and put their entrepreneurial know-how at the disposal of designers exploring new models of creativity, thus giving birth to Italian Design, a true cultural movement resulting from the fusion of industrial production and design. Schiffini’s association with Vico Magistretti, one of the Masters of Italian Design, proved vital during this period.

light blue-green walls kitchen

This is Matt and Blair’s home, the kitchen has beautiful blue-green walls, in a color that’s very hard to photograph accurately: It shifts between pale blue, green, and turquoise in a delightful play of colors as the morning sun comes in. It’s so lovely, and yet it’s just one of the many smart, modern, and retro-inspired decisions Matt and Blair made in their kitchen.
red upper cabinets

The kitchen is a wonderfully pleasant space: A big room, with high ceilings, and windows open to the backyard. Even though the house itself is not terribly big, the kitchen feels so spacious. They chose a “fresh retro” look, that great blue-green color, and bright red cabinets.
