Paint
Anyone who’s even painted their own kitchen cabinets will tell you it’s not an easy or pleasant job. But, in the end, it’s worth it to have a kitchen that looks brand new - not to mention the savings. Opt for a professional paint job, and you can be looking at spending several thousand dollars!
If you’re going for it, make sure you do your research, and your prep work. You don’t want to spend all that time only to end up with a splotchy, streaky, or uneven finish. This DIY how-to will help.
Hardware
"Think of hardware as kitchen jewelry - add new metal or glass knobs for an easy kitchen cabinet update," said Better Homes and Gardens. If you're using metal hardware, choose one finish for the scheme. Be sure to count the number of doorknobs, handles, or drawer pulls before heading out to stores, garage sales, or flea markets. And if the new hardware doesn't fit the old holes, simply buy some backplates to cover the gaps and then drill new holes.
