Painting cabinets, especially if you do the job yourself, costs far less than outright replacement. Bargain-basement cabinets for a 10×12-ft. kitchen can easily top $5,000, not including the cost of installation or new counters, and your new cabinets may be of lower quality than the ones you’re getting rid of.

If you’re thinking of redecorating your kitchen, an excellent and inexpensive way to do this is trying to do the job all by yourself. Painting cabinets is not a difficult job, but there are a few tricks that you need to have in mind.

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

The new Essential Wind is an ultra-modern kitchen from Toncelli packed with exciting, eye-catching elements. Characterised by an elegant linearity, the kitchen has two distinct ‘areas of operation’.

The cooking area is divided between the multi-functional stove and frying areas at the wall unit, and the sink/food prep area on the central island.

A lowered dining table in stone continues the central island, giving guests an ideal place to sit and chat.

The Essential Wind kitchen cabinets are available in a range of finishes, from laminated colours, to wood veneers, to metallic and stainless steel.

‘Flip’, the distinctive rectangular ventilation hood is perfectly positioned over the stove. The stove area is of smooth stainless steel, whereas the worktops are covered with a coordinating natural stone grey quartzite.

An atmospheric LED illumination casts a glow over the proceedings from behind a marble pattern panel.

Throughout time, Tuscan kitchens have been the place for loved ones to gather. Food is the other favorite pastime of Italians so to most effectively capture that true Tuscan feel in you kitchen, fill it with the pieces needed to create great meals (even if you don’t cook). Start with the colors. A true Tuscan kitchen reflects the colors of nature. Painting the walls a warm shade of orange-yellow or gold gives your kitchen the perfect backdrop. Italian tile in shades of terra cotta, cinnamon or other natural stone works great on the floor.

Tuscan Kitchen Decorating Ideas

A Splash Of Colors
Tuscan kitchen colors combine natural elements with warm colors.Warm colors are appetizing so they work well in kitchens. Base the room around natural wood cabinets or granite countertops because Tuscan kitchens are meant to be cooked in. Stick with dark colors on the cupboards or a medium wood tone. Give a farmhouse look with wood beams and add elegance with small columns and carvings on the island.

In Tuscan kitchen decor, the use of diverse colors ensures that there is always an exciting element in it. There is a bold use of orange and yellow colors, with gold and terracotta on the walls which give it an elegant touch. Always select a hushed or battered looking tone of your chosen color. Tuscan kitchen has a twang of colors in bright reds, sunshine yellows, sea blues, shining blues, bright greens, and browns mixed with burgundy.

Which Wood Will Be Better For Your Kitchen Cabinets

This kitchen belongs to Céline, who live in downtown Marseille, the south of France, she sent her loft photos to kim and wanted to share her loft design. The kitchen is really a fantastic work, complex but creative wall decoration, stainless steel cabinets but feel warm.

“She sent some photos of her industrial kitchen, along with photos of her dining room and patio (which took 6 months to create) and a couple before photos. ‘In the dining room and kitchen we mixed vintage letterboxes, my father’s old shop ‘comptoir’ with antique carrera marble, old advertising, a station board, tolix chairs ….’ I adore the kitchen – it’s far from sparse which gives it such an inviting feel. It’s eclectic and creative and the result is functional and convenient.” More about her loft, click here.

Use flooring as inspiration for your backsplash, like Candice Olson did in this . While it seems odd, using the same colored or textured tile helps unify your kitchen design.

Two kitchen backsplash materials are better than one. Candice Olson pairs soapstone and blue glass tiles in this New Orleans-inspired kitchen.

Install under-cabinet lighting to show off your backsplash. This Durango stone backsplash is accented with bronze tiles for a little sparkle. Natural stone tiles are another popular choice for the kitchen backsplash. They make a lovely choice in a kitchen with granite countertops and stone floors. Limestone, marble, and even plain old rocks can be used successfully in a backsplash, depending on the look of the rest of the room.

The small, one inch glass tiles are a great way to incorporate glass tiles into your backsplash inexpensively. Rather than doing the entire backsplash with them, you can use the tiles to create a border for the other types of tiles you use. Use the small mosaic tiles with stone or ceramic for a custom look.

Stainless steel creates a modern look in the kitchen. The backsplashes go with nearly any countertop style,and blend well with stainless kitchen appliances. They are durable, heat resistant and easy to clean. Stainless is the choice of most commercial kitchens because of these positive qualities. However, stainless can be scratched. Acidic foods, chlorine bleach, and harsh chemicals can ruin the finish or cause staining if they are not rinsed off quickly and thoroughly. High-grade stainless steel can be expensive.

Tin backsplashes are durable, classic and a perfect balance for urban materials like concrete countertops. Candice Olson opted for cream-colored tin tiles, instead of stainless steel.
