Kitchen refinshing

Our cabs were really junk when we moved in. Rail and stiles separating. Some delaminating. Cheap plastic drawer hangers breaking. There was no saving them. Even the layout was awkward. Frig conflict with powder room door. The peninsula corner required a small child to go in and retrieve what ya' needed. It did have a huge top on it which was kind of nice.
But it was a mess! 2nd picture. Had to do some hardwood floor work and electrical. 3rd picture what it is now just prior to nailing up the crown molding.

I made doors (poplar like the kitchen cabs) for the powder room sink base as sizes needed were not available. They were white laminate on pressed wood with golden oak top rail and face frame. The Behr Alkyd Satin Enamel color match was good on the face frame, new doors, and crown molding but was a little too heavy out of the can.

For some odd reason I am resistant to painting or staining the dining set that a certain lady keeps suggesting around here!

Some LED under cabinet lighting would make a huge difference.
I did ours for about 60 bucks and that included the two transformers that I ran the wires for into the wall behind the cabinets and down to connect to the 110 outlets supply.
Then a switch out of sight on the end of the cabinets where they come up to the sink.
The pic is not ours, just an example of how much different it can make it.
