I'm moving into an older home and I really want to remodel the outdated kitchen. This kitchen remodeling project entails new cabinets or cabinet refinishing, new appliances, and new counter tops. The existing appliances are original to the house which was built in the 1960's. So I'm going to replace the old appliances with new energy efficient appliances. Investing in new energy efficient kitchen appliances can greatly reduce your energy bills, making it a cost-effective decision.
Next on my kitchen remodeling list is counter top replacement. The old formica counter top, although functional, has an outdated design. For kitchen remodeling, choices in new counter tops are endless. Granite, stone, formica, or even faux finish can be done to update counter tops. Remodeling your counter tops doesn't have to break the bank. There are many inexpensive ways to remodel your kitchen counters.
There are many possibilities for remodeling your old kitchen cabinets too. Probably the easiest way is to hire a contractor and have the project done for you. However, if you're more of a do-it-yourselfer, you may want cabinet refinishing for your kitchen remodeling project. Basically, you take the doors off of the cabinets, sand them or use paint remover, and repaint them according to your updated kitchen style. For a retro kitchen, use paint in the colors that were popular at the time for your remodeling project.
