Is your kitchen feeling a little dated, tired, or both? Or, maybe you’re just restless for a change?

Kitchens are worthwhile spaces to update, offering not only a lot of satisfaction through the transformation, but also a tangible return on your investment. Bathrooms and kitchens both tend to dominate the top of the list of high-value home improvements year after year. It is important, however, to plan your improvements carefully, ensuring that your time and dollars are spent just as wisely as possible.

Today, let’s take a look at a common question: should you  paint your kitchen cabinets  or replace them?

In most cases, painting kitchen cabinets is more cost-effective than a full replacement as well. Just another benefit to consider!

We’re all for fun, DIY home improvement projects, but in this case the risk outweighs the reward.

Cabinet painting offers little margin for error, and requires a flawless, durable finish that can stand up to the strain of a busy home environment. It also is a labor-intensive process that requires the proper tools, product knowledge, and experience to get just right. Many homeowners tackle the work with the best of intentions, only to find themselves with a real mess on their hands after countless wasted hours.

There’s no substitute for seeing the real thing in real homes! Here are a few of our recent cabinet painting projects (we hope they offer ideas and inspiration):
