GET A NEW LOOK FOR KITCHEN CABINETS AND APPLIANCES
Fortunately, cabinets and appliances don’t need to be changed to give a kitchen a fresh look. Instead, HouseLogic suggests putting a thin veneer of real wood or plastic laminate on the surface of existing cabinets for a less-expensive option. Also, consider using paint or decals to give appliances a stainless-steel finish for $32 or less. A contractor can apply the new laminate in a week, with costs ranging from $2,000 to $6,000, while a DIY approach will cost roughly $500 for materials. Don’t forget to pick up new cabinet knobs and handles, too.
