    Great points!

    In my opinion, if you’re not going to stay in a home for at least 20 years, it’s not prudent to spend a fortune on major remodeling project. Therefore, sometimes, repainting cabinets are the right choice.

    My husband and I want to remodel our kitchen in the cheapest way possible, so I wanted tips and advice on refinishing the cabinets. I didn’t know if your cabinets have any curved surfaces, you should have a professional paint them. I’ll have to keep that in mind to find a contractor that can tell me the most popular and functional color to paint them, thanks to this post!

    It makes sense that you would want to match the walls, kitchen island and floors when replacing your cabinets. My best friend wants to get rid of his cabinets because he is remodeling part of the kitchen. With that set, I will advise considering his kitchen apparel before choosing a set of cabinets.
