1 Update cabinets
You don't have to tear out old cabinetry to give your kitchen a fresh new look. With a bit of creativity and the the help of pinterest and instagram for inspiration, you can update your kitchen cabinets without replacing them. Try these easy ways to refresh your cabinets with paint, molding, inserts, and new hardware.
Update an old cabinet door by adding a glass panel. You can order panels from a glass shop, selecting between clear, frosted, reeded, or ribbed glass for a unique look. Use a router to remove the center panel, then sand and paint if desired. Have the glass cut to size, adding an extra half-inch on each side. Place the glass piece on the back of the frame and secure it with clips.
2 Install a Spray Tap
If your kitchen or utility room needs a mini makeover consider installing a spray tap. Most can be fitted retrospectively and their design is ideal for cleaning purposes, from maintaining your sink to helping you rinse bulky pots and pans.
