Kitchen Cabinetry - The Basics

            Your kitchen is a place where people gather together and make memories and food. It’s a place of comfort and warmth, fun and learning. Because your kitchen is such an important part of your home life, it should be a haven, a place where one can feel comfortable and which accurately reflects your (or your family’s) personality.

            One of the best ways to go about doing this is to have a nice looking kitchen. Cabinets tend to be the first thing people notice, followed by size and appliances. If you don’t like the way your kitchen looks now, try giving it a makeover. Today’s mini-DIY project focuses on your cabinets.

            If you don’t have enough money right now, it’s not a wise idea to try and switch out your cabinets, even if you dislike them. Instead, start with something smaller to change your kitchen’s look and feel a little bit.

            Changing your cabinet’s door handles can be a great way to personalize your kitchen and make it something more of what you want. There are many different styles of handle out there, and what you choose is entirely based on you. You could go with traditional and scour antique shops for the right vintage handle, or you could go sleek and modern and look for shiny chrome or stainless steel handles. You could go for whimsical and try and find unicorn, seahorse, or other animal handles. You could even go nerdy and look for Iron Man, Captain America, Superman, Batman, or other cool superhero or tv show logos.

            Regardless of what you pick, upgrading your cabinet’s handles can be a great way to personalize your kitchen while making it more of what you want it to be. This project can be done fairly quickly and requires little money and installation know-how.

            Have fun, be creative, and most importantly, happy holidays folks!
