Do it all the time. Do yourself a favor DON’T PAINT unless a rental. Looks tacky. The cost of resurfacing is not too much more tahn preping and painting. New laminate and up-to-date (raised panel doors) will add perceived value to the property. IO use white on white or off white on off white with new hindges and knobs. Looks like a brand new kitchen. Don’t scrimp.
I have a question about my first rehab I am looking at. The cabinets are dated but in great shape with new formica. Can I just paint the cabinets white and buy replacement white doors and drawer facings to modernize them? Has anyone done this before?
Paint can be a great thing for Cabinets in the right situation vs replacing them. However, don’t limit yourself to white… I wish I could claim this one, but this house actually was like this when I bought it… Check it out. Sure beats the hell out of White Paint or old wood color.
I don’t know if I would have put in a pink countertop, but it works with what they did quite well… and even though the house is incredibly tiny… Folks loved the kitchen, and it moved quickly.
