Give Your Kitchen Cabinets a Fresh Coat of Paint This Thanksgiving

Of all the holidays and seasonal events during the year, Thanksgiving is probably the one that sees people spending the most time in the kitchen. While the look of your kitchen cabinetry won’t help you bake the perfect turkey or create the most stunning pumpkin pies, it can make you feel good by adding more beauty and luxury to this busy room. Franklin Painting of Farmington, CT, would like to share a few reasons to consider painting your kitchen cabinets this holiday season. We’ll also talk a little about why painting is often a better option than a complete cabinet refinishing job.

New paint for the cabinets and storage spaces in your kitchen can bring on a whole new mood. Light gray, faded yellow, vanilla orange and other subtle tones will add a sense of peace and tranquility to the entire kitchen area.

Conversely, vibrant colors that contrast sharply with the color of your kitchen walls can energize and excite you. With cabinets painted in dazzling blue, electric green or vibrant black, there’s no telling what kind of delicious Thanksgiving delicacies you might dream up.

But whatever color you choose, you’ll be bringing new beauty and personality to cabinetry that may have become stained, faded and dismal over the years.

Painting kitchen cabinets vs. refinishing

Refinishing

A cabinet refinishing job is a serious undertaking. The surfaces will be stripped, the hardware exchanged and the entire look of the cabinetry will be altered. And don’t forget the cost. If you have a large number of cabinets in your kitchen, you can be looking at thousands of dollars for a professional refinishing job.
Along with the high cost, refinishing your cabinetry will take time. Depending on how busy your life is and how much you use your kitchen, you might not want to sacrifice all that time.
Finally, a cabinet refinishing project can be quite disruptive. The work area can encompass a lot of space, and the job can get pretty noisy. The result: your kitchen might be somewhat of a disaster area until everything’s done.

Painting

Painting your cabinets, on the other hand, can be a relatively quick and painless way to restore beauty to your kitchen and add more enjoyment to all the work you do in there.
When you paint instead of refinish, your choices and decisions are narrowed down considerably. All you have to decide on is the color you want to use. There are plenty of online paint stores where you can browse colors and create color combination visuals that will give you a good idea of how your finished cabinets can look.
You also have the option of doing the painting yourself. Most people aren’t equipped to perform a complete kitchen cabinet refinishing job, but many folks are comfortable with painting.
