This series of pictures shows the process of cabinet refacing.
-
This is where the project began: a very dated kitchen with doors and frames that had been repainted. The counter tops and appliances were also overdue for updating. We'll show you all the refacing steps that took this old kitchen to the lovely end result.
-
Here's the "before" rendered in a schematic style for clarity.
-
In this case, all the appliances were replaced, so the old range is removed. If you have appliances you like, you have the option of keeping them.
-
You can keep your existing counter tops if you want to. In this instance, new granite tops were in the plans, so the old tops are removed.
-
The old cabinet doors and drawer headers are removed and discarded. Drawer boxes can be reused or replaced at this stage.
-
In this project, space had to be created for a new hardwood range hood and a new, wider range. To do that, a couple of cabinets were removed. This is optional, and your project may not remove or replace any cabinets at all. It's a very flexible process, and such decisions are up to you.
-
After the old doors and drawer headers are gone, their surfaces are prepped to receive the new veneers. These thin strips of hardwood are pre-finished and hand-applied. As shown here, exposed ends and vertical frame parts are done first.
-
The veneering process continues with the horizontal frame members. When it's all done, every visible surface will be veneered. The ends of the base cabinets that are beside the range won't be visible, so they don't get veneered.
-
At this point, the handsome hardwood range hood is added. This is one of the many decorative and functional elements that can be incorporated into a refacing job.
-
Crown moldings are added along the tops of wall cabinets, while smaller moldings bring a finished look to the lower edges. A matching toe kick completes the trim work.
-
Hardwood doors and drawer headers now take their places. The refacing job is almost done.
-
To finish off the job, the counters and backsplash are placed, knobs and pulls are added, and the range is installed. It's quite a transformation from the original "before."
