Painting kitchen cabinets is always like putting lipstick on a pig in my mind. It makes the look better but in what way? There a different color and that's about it. It may brighten up the room but but its not going to drastically change the kitchens look. Also if you are selling a home in today's market buyers have become savvy to cheap fixes. If your going to sell you home compare your kitchen cabinets to your neighbors kitchen cabinets if their house is for sale if there painted no worries paint yours too. If you feel that your house needs a little pep in its step to sell go for it. If you've got the money to spend replace the cabinets, you will love your new kitchen and everyday that you come home will make you smile!

Purchase doors hinged to save time and money. The cost (depending on the size of the kitchen) could be under $2000 pluse the cost of the painting supplies.

I am moving in for a year because I bought a house that has been delayed and need a place to live. I decided to redo the kitchen cabinets and counters. I got a quote for $15000.00. A friend of mine was telling me to prime my cupboards and then paint them a really dark brown. So I have put a hold on the new kithen and decided to prime them all not realizing what I had gotten myself into... I bought the Behr paint. I chose the darkest of brown I could find. I am using a little roller to roll the paint on and am not liking the way it looks... Is this because I've only put one coat on. Will it get better or will you always be able to tell from afar that it was painted. I'm thinking of just ripping out the kitchen and paying the $15000.00. What do you think???
