A typical kitchen will require about $12000 in cabinets alone. What are the cheaper alternatives? Certainly refacing the cabinets has become very popular lately. With new cabinets so expensive and the quality of real wood refacing improving this has become a very interesting option. The typical kitchen would likely cost about $5000 for a full refacing of doors, drawers and side panels.
Designing a kitchen can be an act of labor, fun and love. Choosing the just the right look can help create the kitchen you've always wanted. Part of the fun is in the details. For example, painting kitchen cabinets to your own personal specifications can add a unique and lovely touch to any kitchen.
