Revamping Our Kitchen– BIG Announcement!

8 shares

  • Tweet

Remember how I’ve been talking about sprucing up our kitchen cabinets for the past year? First, I wanted to paint them. Then, I came to the realization that I despise painting furniture so I decided I would hire someone to paint them. Well for once my procrastination paid off because I was recently contacted by the good people at Home Depot about participating in their Replace, Reface, Renew kitchen cabinet program through their Design Connect services. You better believe I let out my signature “Whhhaaaat!?!” after opening the email. I also may or may not have jumped up and down like a 13 year old girl at a Justin Beiber concert when I told Brad the news.

So here’s the skinny. We’re getting our kitchen cabinets refaced! (Picture me shrieking while jumping up and down.)

What’s refacing, you ask? The existing cabinet doors, drawers, and drawer fronts are removed. Wood or laminate veneer is adhered to the existing cabinets and frames. Then the new doors, drawers, drawer fronts, and hardware is installed. It’s perfect for those who like the layout of their current kitchen. The transformation typically takes between 3-5 days so refacing is great for those who don’t want to live without a kitchen for an extended period of time. Less than a week for a brand spanking new looking kitchen? Sign. Me. Up.

Now, let’s review the current state of our cabinets.

They’re builder-grade, honey oak cabinets. We’re not a fan of the color. Plus there’s too much wood going on in there with the cabinets and the laminate wood flooring. I want our kitchen to be bright and airy, and I think we’ll accomplish that by refacing the cabinets white. The white cabinets will bounce more light off of them than our current cabinets, maximizing the small amount of light we get through our one kitchen window.

I also don’t care for the 12 inches of random space above the cabinets. I know some people like this space because they can display their kitchenware or decorate it to their liking. However, I’m not in that camp. I think the kitchen would look taller if the cabinets went all the way to the ceiling.

If you haven’t noticed yet, our cabinets are missing hardware. I know hardware isn’t an absolute necessity, but it’d be nice to not have to pry doors and drawers open with our fingers.

I love our kitchen island, besides the color. It’s crazy to think the original floor plan didn’t have an island so I’m happy the people we bought the house from added it. In a perfect world, I’d like to add a bookcase on the end of the island so I can display my cookbooks and vintage kitchenware. I think the bookcase would make the kitchen look more custom-made.

To say I’m excited about this project is an understatement, and I can’t wait to share the process with you guys. For more info, visit The Home Depot, and check out their videos; Replace, Reface and Renew.

    To create my perfect kitchen would involve knocking down a wall and adding more cabinets and counter space. I would also love to add a bead board back splash and new counter tops. *sigh* One day….

    Such exciting news! I think your kitchen looks lovely now – can’t wait to see it with a little facelift. I’m still renting so I haven’t yet allowed myself to dream about my perfect kitchen… thinking about it now, it would probably be a lot of wood, open shelves, and a massive island where you can sit and work.

    Remodeling my kitchen is on my long list of things to do. Luckily my kitchen is large but there is no island. I would add an island, replace the cabinets we had to take out, and make the cabinets taller, like you–I have drywall–so that would have to come out. I love lighter cabinets and have dark 1970s ones right now. Yuck. And orange countertop–double yuck. I also would like a subway tile back splash and a tile floor.
    I can’t wait to see your transformation!

    Currently, my kitchen is not changeable (apartment life = BOO) – however we are going through the process of buying a home = YAY! The kitchen that it currently has is limited by size, but is a great start! To perfect it I would add some nice hardware (like you it doesn’t have any) and I would add some paint about the backsplash because aside from the cabinets and counter – its WHITE!! Hello open canvas!

    We have a similar kitchen look- oak cabinets with too much room above them that I dislike, and also some so-so tile. We also had to do some renovations to the slider that leads onto the deck (I am so thankful for that wall of sunlight!), so it badly needs painting and overall finishing. I would love to paint our cabinets and add new hardware, add beadboard to the island, and paint!

    I love my kitchen layout, but the cabinets are from the 70’s so if I could I would replace/renew them in white as well. They are SO DARK!!! I saunter through the kitchen displays every time I am in Home Depot wistfully touching all the smooth glossy cabinets. Someday!

    Congrats on getting your builders grade updated!

    I’ve got a rental kitchen so there hasn’t been much work done to it but our landlord is great and willing to let us make updates as we choose. A backsplash, some fresh paint, and new hardware would make a huge difference. I’d love to knock down a wall too but that’s a little bit unrealistic for our current situation.

    We’re house shopping right now, and the home that is our front-runner has a nice kitchen, but it could certainly use some upgrades. My ideas include upgrading to a gas range, installing hardwood flooring, painting the existing cabinets white (they’re in great condition), replacing the old country/rustic style hardware with something more modern, and adding an island to the center of the kitchen. For reference, the layout is almost exactly like yours, but instead of an eat-in space, there is a wall of huge windows that look out onto the backyard, which I love. Oh, and we definitely need to switch out the peeling laminate counters for some kind of light grey stone (maybe granite, maybe something else)…

    Whew, I’m tired just writing that all down! Can’t wait to see your kitchen’s transformation!

    I think I’m in the same boat as you, I love the layout of our kitchen, but I’d love the kitchen a lot more if the cabinets were white. It would really brighten the space. Of course a few new appliances, new lighting, and new countertops wouldn’t hurt either 😉

    My perfect kitchen would have white cabinets on the bottom half. These would consist of mostly drawers, that all “slow-close”. Up top I would not have any cabinets. I would possibly have a few open shelves, but mostly all windows, so I get a LOT of natural light. My backsplash would be sea glass blue colored subway tiles, and my counter tops would be butcher block wood. I would want very minimalist streamline stainless appliances, and very cool light fixtures above my island with Edison bulbs. To top it off I would have hardly anything sitting out (toaster oven, mixer, juicer, etc. ) it would all have a usable space hidden from view like a specific drawer or cabinet that its made to fit. I would love to win the gift card!

    I’m dreaming of a white kitchen! My cabinets aren’t that bad on their own and I have TONS of space– I’m just in love with white kitchens. Next I would add hardware to all the drawers and cabinets because I’m also tired of prying them open (the drawers are especially heavy) My kitchen is in need of a cute back-splash since we have none at all. My future kitchen will have a double oven, gas range, and drawers that have the slow-close so that kids can’t slam them shut!
    I’m so excited to see the reveal of your new kitchen!

    I’m planning on having my carpenter husband build me all new cabinet doors and drawers because I really like inset style cabinetry instead of the overlay. After everything is built I plan on painting them a light gray to lighten things up from the dark brown oak. New countertops are also a must, I plan on going with quartz for it’s high end look and durability.

    Love your idea of adding a bookcase to the end of the island! Our kitchen is quite small and we don’t have a dining room, just a very small eat in area, so in order to create my perfect kitchen, I think we’d have to do a small addition to the back of the house where the kitchen/dining area is. That would make our kitchen bigger and give us the dining room we want/need! Not a cheap fix, but with the small space, that’s the only thing I can think of 🙂

I also have thought it would be cool to add beadboard or board + batten along the outside of our ‘island’ (not really an island, just the opposite side of the counter/cabinets that faces outward) to add a nice detail.

    Ah! This would be awesome to do! How much does something like this cost? Our kitchen is definitely an area in our home that needs to be redone. Besides the fact that the appliances are 100 years old (hey they still work and I don’t have the budget for new ones so they’ve got to stay), we also have the builder grade cabinets with no hardware. I would love to paint the cabinets but depending on price I might look into refacing them. We really don’t have that many cabinet doors/drawers. If I won the HD gift card I would either put it towards new appliances, fix our leaky sink or put it towards updating the cabinets. We actually have a little one on the way so any budget we were saving is now going to the nursery. Oh priorities!

And like you, I’d like to get rid of that space between the top of my cabinets and the ceiling – so hard to decorate! We also want to put in laminate or wood flooring, but I refuse to do so until our cabinets are white b/c otherwise it’s too much wood on wood. Basically, I’m in the exact same situation as you!

    Our kitchen was put in when our house was built-somewhere around 1973. We don’t have a dishwasher. We have 12 inches of what looks like a bulkhead above the cabinets-there is nothing in it. Our cabinets are dark espresso colored wood with a white speckled laminate counter top. We have a brick back splash. I honestly don’t know what the people who installed this where thinking! We still have our oven from the 1970s but everything else is just crumbling. It’s on our short list to re-do it! Did I mention that we don’t have a dishwasher??!

    Right now, I’m renting an apartment and the kitchen is the worst room in the place. It DESPERATELY needs to be renovated. The cabinets are cheap particleboard, the sink is caving in (that particle board under the countertop is disintegrating), tiles are missing on the floor, they took out a radiator and left put clear plastic tape over the holes/pipes, and the paint on the pantry walls is falling off. It’s bad!

    Basically I would love to have a new sink, new floor and a bit more counter space. Obviously new paint would work wonders as well.

So I can’t go BIG but I can make it look nicer 🙂 So, my plans are to paint the current laminant tiles. They are super dingy white pink and blue stick on floor tiles… Not the prettiest. But one day I hope to have a kitchen with lots of counter space, cabinet space, a farm house sink, and a BIG window above it 🙂

    To create my perfect kitchen I would either have to raze my house and rebuild or move to another house. 🙂 To remodel my current kitchen so that I like it better I would love to: remove the carpeting (carpeting does NOT go in a kitchen!) and replace it with cork, redesign the placement of cabinets and have them go all the way to the ceiling, perhaps add a bay window area off the south wall to add more space, a new more modern kitchen sink, a new dishwasher, add awesome organizational elements, and paint the walls and cabinets some nice open, airy, and cheery colors. Thanks for the chance to start doing this!

The last people to paint in here also, for some unknown reason, used packing tape to tape off the cabinets, which stripped huge ragged chunks of the veneer off of the cabinets. NOT the look I’m going for. The counters are just meh, I can live with them. But the cabinets. Seriously. I could live with everything else in there if only we could fix the cabinets!

    If I could, I’d replace our current cabinets. When we reno’ed the house, we took the walls down, laid new flooring, added new appliances and upgraded our countertops/backsplash…but we could NOT afford new cabinets. So we painted the old wood ones, and added new hardware. It worked for a bit, but the original cabinets from the 1950’s just aren’t holding up anymore. I’d be a dream to replace them with something brand-spankin’-new!!!

    We just bought our first house about 8 months ago and I while I love the size of the kitchen, I wish the builders had not left any empty space at the top of the cabinets. I just have no idea on what to do with it! My perfect kitchen would have double ovens and either wood or granite countertops, and a hammered copper farmhouse sink. I’d also love pull out drawers instead of the lower cabinets and to convert our sliding door out to the patio into French doors.

But to have the perfect kitchen in my current house, it would take a little bit of work. I have dark wood cabinets that I like and a brick backsplash. What needs revamped is the flooring and the counter tops. I’d repaint the walls while I’m at it. We love our new stainless steel french door fridge, so a dishwasher and stove to match would be fantastic!

We had Home Depot come out to do the estimate for re-facing and at this time it just wasn’t in the budget. But, I LOVED all of the bonus pull outs that we could’ve added to the cabinets! So, we went with painting them white…it’s been quite a process. Next step will be a white Moroccan tile backsplash and then save a few more pennies and get the Carrara marble-esque countertop I’m drooling over!

    My ultimate dream kitchen would definitely have to mean demolishing an outside wall and taking the whole thing into the backyard!! Every kitchen should have an island to lean up against, sit down at and just really be a focal point of “gathering”! My current kitchen is very small and we have no dining room, so the table is in the kitchen. Stone counters could be nice with glass tile backsplash and wood floors. I also like the two tone approach of dark on bottom and light on top, not necessarily white but maybe off-white to cream. Ahh, to dream!! Happy remodeling!

I already have it all picked out – Martha Stewart’s “chester”, with navy walls and new, more neutral counter tops. AND a copper farmhouse sink to match the only design aspect I do like – the three copper pendants.

    To redo my kitchen I would have to rip it all out. It is all dark and very old and oh so tiny. Knocking down the wall to open space to the dining area, then have white wash color for cabinets, wooden floor and a much larger window. If you saw my kitchen you’d be wondering how I even like to cook in there ( I don’t ) It is actually an apartment I had to move into 13 years ago with 3 little daughters. I learned to cope with this kitchen, didn’t have any other choice lol. Should I win I do have permission to update my kitchen, you bet I’d jump right to it.
    Can’t wait to see yours 🙂

    Oh you are so lucky!!!!! wish refacing was an option for us, we have similar oak cabinets, but the flat plywood with exposed hinge type- circa 1967- ick. For my dream kitchen I would replace all the cabinets (small kitchen- not so bad) and diy concrete countertops, and replace the vinyl flooring with ceramic tiles

I want something that is up to date. Storage space is a must with the cabinets. The new appliances would be economical and the refrigerator would have an ice maker.

    I would have to gut my 1967ish kitchen, unfortunately. Too much wasted space, big open middle, the heat is around two walls so nothing can be put on them to add storage or a work surface area, the same goes with the a/c vent in the ceiling, tucked in the corner, so again you can’t even hang cabinets on those to walls. I have a wall oven that is original and I have to guess at what to set the temp (even with the thermometer inside), a cook top that is ancient and takes forever to boil water on and about a space totaling less than 2′ for prep (and that is if I move the dish drainer), oh and no dishwasher. The counter tops are the old original white Formica with the bronze colored specks in them, and they added that same color dark bronze tiles to the backsplash (which I painted over to match the green I used to cover the 70’s orange, lol). When we bought our house we thought we would have enough to redo the kitchen and bath, but there were other more important things that needed attention, oh well, we make do with what we have. So, with the $1,000, I think I would get myself a new sink and faucet, countertop and a portable dishwasher. Yippee!

    I’ve been thinking about replacing our cabinet doors & drawer fronts, so this would be amazing! I would love to install reclaimed heart pine floors, white shaker style doors (our cabinet boxes are fine, but the MDF doors are swelling and cracking in the Florida humidity), subway tile backsplash, and refinish the countertops with either Corian or a concrete skim coat.

From the cabinets, to the appliances, all the way down to the warped wood floor. I imagine stainless steel appliances, with dark cabinets. I don’t really cook, so I don’t know why I have put so much thought into what my dream kitchen would look like. Perhaps it’s because friends and family always seem to gather in the kitchen, so it should be a welcoming place in my home.

We bought it the way it was and upgraded our kitchen counters , added a bay window to the dining area and purchased an 8 seat dining room set. I guess I would change the cabinets facing to something more detailed as they are very plain.

    We are currently in the process of remodeling our kitchen, we ripped out the old hand built one the previous owner had and we moved it to the other side of the area. So my perfect kitchen would be a finished one with a subway tile back splash, cabinet doors and knobs, and a large work island.

    Replacing flooring, countertops, and adding a backsplash are high on my list to renew my kitchen. Maybe painting my cabinets and replacing hardware, swapping out the light fixture and adding a new wall color would really be great too! Not sure how soon I can get my husband to move on this though. He remodeled it 20 years ago and did a super job, but I’m growing tired of it now and could use a revamp. Also, things are beginning to show wear, etc.

    Love your wall color in your kitchen. Lets see…the perfect kitchen…I would take out the wall between our kitchen and dining room to open it up a bit, put a white wash on the cabinets and paint the walls a lovely shade of misty morning green. Then there would be the new floor – methinks I do like tile in the kitchen. Had tile in the past, have hardwood now….Oh, and a breakfast bar at the wall that gets removed!

    I think refacing our cabinets would be an awesome way to remodel our kitchen. We have a galley-style kitchen with poor light and that paired with our very dark cabinets makes for a lot of dark feelings in my happy place. We don’t have the house layout to knock out walls and change the way the kitchen is set up, so refacing would be THE PERFECT way to perk things up!

The house we bought had a seventies style kitchen still in it. We haven’t been able to move in yet because the kitchen is not in working order. I’ve been driving everyday, Monday through Friday from Brownsburg to Carmel just to get Xander to school. We are putting in new cabinets, backsplash and paint. Hopefully we will be finished before Thanksgiving. 🙂

    My perfect kitchen would be to knock down one wall and replace it with a bay window and window seat so when I was in the kitchen cooking or just having coffee I could see all of the beautiful trees in my yard. I would also replace my 10 year old appliances with stainless steels ones and have lighter cabinets to lighten up the kitchen.
