Dat door darn dun got ya down?
Sick of your kitchen cabinets, but there's no way in the current budget that you're going to spring for replacing everything? Besides which, they're fine, just ugly?
Wow have we got a cool new thing to offer you! We took a cabinet refinishing class this week. It's amazing cool stuff, and we already have all the equipment since we've been tooled up for spraying for a few years now.
We can now offer a nice range of affordable finishes to revamp cabinets.
We were amazed! We even had a couple of awful old Golden Oak cabinets, refashioned from yeuch to ... hey - cool!
There's the cost of the paint, then approx: a basic re-paint / color-change / clean-up will run you $75-$100/door (prices include doing the box with matching non-spray paint), some basic glazes can hugely transform the whole look & feel of your kitchen for $125/door, and of course we can get all distressed or arty and do anything you imagine from $150 on up. We'd suggest doing most doors with basic glazes then adding a couple of custom ones as zappy features to really reclaim your kitchen in your own style.
These are some of the pictures from the paint company's catalogue:
"High performance finishes with a one component water borne, low VOC acrylic resin system."
"Very smooth touch & appearance, outstanding moisture resistance and durability."
"For use on kitchen & bathroom cabinets, dormitory & household furniture."
And we can do all this. And add arty touches (dragonfly stencil? foil accent, anyone?) as required.
Here's us in the class:
Deb adding foil to a trim sample
Masking off to show the before/after contrast, then spraying some trim with primer.
Spray, then check for missed spots.
Barb, our instructor, with another before/after sample.
Check out the big squares behind Barb - that's all filtration on this humongous fan ... so nice to be using a beautiful spray booth! The class was held at Kathy's, "The Chicago Institute of Fine Finishes", out in Carol Stream. She has this full-on spray booth that she rents out for those special occasions when you need extreme ventilation & good lighting.
We thoroughly enjoyed the class & look forward to more adventures in kitchen cabinetry.
