If you are sick and tired of seeing those old cabinets that the previous owners had left in the house then you can do something about it. You can change the look of the home so dramatically by simply undertaking a bathroom cabinet refinishing task. You will save a lot of money and improve your own self esteem. Since replacing the cabinets can be very expensive but a fresh paint color can be just the right thing for your home and your budget.

The project will involve a couple of items such as sandpaper, clean rugs, some paint and paint brushes. When it comes to choosing the right color think about this matter very carefully. This is because the color will live with you for the longest time possible so make sure you like it. So do not rush into anything before careful thought.

A professional might come in handy in the event that the job might be too tasking for you. This kind of job requires one to have a lot of patience as well as sills to complete the job. If you are thinking about doing to yourself then know that it is not a piece of cake.

First you will have to visit your hardware store and get the tools that you do not have. From there you will take your clean rugs and wash the cabinets with warm clean water. You will find at this point that your cabinetry has changed its color. After they have dried then it is time to rub them with some sand paper. Rough them up completely. Make sure you have a lot of sandpaper since you are going to require a lot of them.

When you are done with the sandpaper apply the first coat of paint on the surface and leave it to dry. You can opt to take a rest when the paint is drying. When it dries off then use the sandpaper again to rub off on the surface and clean the dust with a cloth. If any dents are present then use wood filler to take care of them.

A local paint store might be the best place to get your paint especially if you are not working with a professional. The employees will be in the best position to help you chose the kind of paint that will be best for you. Keep in in that dark colors have a tendency of highlighting the imperfections of the cabinets as opposed to light colors.

You need to know you might require more than one coat to make the cabinetry look very appealing. Just make sure that each coat is allowed to dry effectively before applying another one. Also remember that you need to buff the cabinets in between coats. After all this work you should have a very nice looking cabinet at the end of it all.

This whole process might seem to many people as very easy but the truth is that it is not. It requires a person who has the skills in painting and one who has time. Patience is also a very important factor here. Since you will be stuck with these cabinets for the longest time possible then make sure you know what you are doing when it comes to bathroom cabinet refinishing.
