Some appliances usually are integrated into these kitchen cabinetry and these include refrigerator, ovens, and dishwashers. Cabinets have many different available types.

The remodeling or renovation may be done only in 3 easy steps. First is replacing the hinges and the handles. To make it easy for you, to make an inexpensive way on doing this, and to give it a new look, you need to replace all existing hard wares. One important part of cabinets are the handles. If the handles are pulls and you want to replace it with knobs, you will have a difficulty on dealing with the 2 holes because knobs only have one hole at the center.

But now, the problem can be solved through using faceplates. These should be installed first before the knobs. The main purpose of these faceplates is to cover the holes left by drawer pulls. Pulls may also be covered with faceplates with two holes.

When you will replace the hinges, be sure to know if the cabinets are making use of mortise hinges or non mortise hinges. Know also if hinges will be required on being either a semi concealed or a fully concealed. Next is refinishing those existing cabinets.

However, you need to make sure that all the items placed inside it are far from the edges when staining or painting the area.
