Cabinet Makeover

January 4, 2012

Cabinet Makeover
Print This
    Begin with outdated or basic cabinets and end up with a beautiful set. It’s simple to fix them up on your own, from cleaning and organizing to lining and painting, our tips will help make it easy for you to update cabinets in any room of your home.

Step One: Prepping

The first step in any makeover is to thoroughly clean and de-clutter.

  • Storage: Store holiday or special occasion items elsewhere to free up valuable space.
  • Purge: If you never use certain items, consider getting rid of them. Donate, sell or recycle.

Tip: Get detailed cleaning and organizing tips with our Kitchen Cabinet Refresh suggestions.

 

Step Two: Painting

Whether you’re painting a specific material or simply choosing a beautiful color, we’re here to help.

Cabinet Makeover

Tip: Consider using an embossed wallpaper technique before painting the cabinets. The textures will be subtle, yet beautifully decorative.

Tip: If your cabinet doors have grooves and layers, experiment with different colors in sections. Or paint the outer edges, and wallpaper the center to create a unique focal point.

Step Three: Lining

When it comes to adding decorative flair, don’t forget the inside of cabinets.

  • Wallpaper: It’s not just for walls! Use wallpaper to line the cabinet insides for an accented finish that also creates easy-to-clean surfaces.
  • Fabric: Bring texture into the mix. Cut fabric to size and attach it to the bottom of the cabinets with hook and loop tape. It’s easy to remove and toss in the washer as needed.

Step Four: Embellishing

Before shopping for new cabinet hardware, consider some simple techniques that can transform what you already have.

  • Knobs and Handles: Don’t buy new knobs and handles! Try our tips for gilding or decoupage to give current ones a fresh new look.
  • Decorative trim: Use small strips of trim molding to accent and finish the look of the cabinets.

Step Five: Organizing

Keep things in order with organizers, labels and other clever options.

Kitchen remodeling sales were up 36 percent in the third quarter of 2011 compared with the same time a year earlier, according to the National Kitchen & Bath Association. It’s no wonder: The kitchen is the focal point in many homes.

Kitchens are one of the features buyers compare most closely when they’re shopping for a home. Here are cost estimates for some of the low-cost kitchen upgrades that listing agents often recommend to sellers:

1. Hardware.
Replacing cabinet hardware, such as handles, knobs, and hinges is a quick, DIY way to enhance kitchen space. According to HouseLogic.com, an average kitchen is 200 square feet with 30 linear feet of cabinetry, which equates to about 40 handles and knobs. Averaging between $2 and $20 per knob or pull, a home owner can expect to spend from $80 to $800 for this enhancement.

2. Faucet.
There are myriad options today in terms of height, spouts, pullout hoses, and folding necks, with quality faucets starting at around $200.

3. Lighting.
Adding an LED undercabinet light can have a dramatic effect for about $40.

4. Organization.
Buyers today choose functionality over elaborate decoration, says Jamie Goldberg, a National Kitchen & Bath Association–certified designer. Practical storage in the kitchen will go a long way. Over-the-door hooks, baskets in the pantry, drawer organizers, wall hooks for pots and pans, and stackable shelves for cabinets will add appeal, typically for less than $100.

5. Countertops.
Laminate can mimic the contemporary look of granite at a significant discount. The cost for an average kitchen with 30 linear feet of laminate countertop is roughly $1,575; the same space in granite would be about $2,400.

On Earth Day, much press is given to all the altruistic reasons we should watch our energy consumption and carbon footprints. From those baby polar bears stranded on icecaps to visions of our grandchildren's grandchildren living on the Atlantic Coast of Montana, the unselfish reasons for going green, so to speak, abound.

Reality check: greening up your home does not have to be a pious experience, or a lifestyle downgrade. You don't need to cut back on showers or go all Birkenstock, all the time. (Although, hey - I went to Berkeley. I've got nothing against the occasional sporting of the 'stocks.)
In fact, I've realized over the last few years that there are some rather fabulous, somewhat selfish perks to making green changes to your home and your lifestyle. Here are a handful of them, in honor of Earth Day.

1. Save Money Now. When it comes to the economics of most home improvements, homeowners spend hours and hours trying to project the return we'll recoup on the upfront costs of our granite countertops and built-in theater equipment years down the road. And for the most part, the numbers look grim. Except for the basic upgrades that are essential to moving an older home, real estate insiders generally advise homeowners to avoid even trying to find an investment return on home improvements, and to simply execute improvements they can both afford and enjoy in the time they plan to live in the home.

However, many so-called 'green' home improvements turn this entire concept on its head. Studies show that utility bills are one of the highest monthly expenses for most households, and that green home improvements can bring those bills down by as much as 20 or 30%. I did the math - on the average American home's energy bill of almost $2,000/year, that would represent a savings of $400-$600 - potentially much more if you live in an area with temperature extremes!

If you install a tankless water heater, insulate your pipes and walls or even do something as simple as weather-stripping your doors and windows, you will begin to save money on your utility bills immediately. And, depending on how indulgent you really want to be, that's cold hard cash you can redirect to the college savings fund, your own retirement accounts, or a tropical adventure.

2. Sell Faster. Green homes simply sell faster than comparable homes without energy efficient features. Today's home buyers want to save money (that's why they're buying now!) and are willing to prioritize homes that allow them to do this by way of energy efficient systems and upgrades.

The data particularly bears this out when it comes to homes with solar energy systems. The US Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy recently released reported that solar homes sell twice as fast as a home without solar panels – even in a down market. (As an aside, don't believe the old hype that going solar requires a big investment; in some states, homeowners can sign up for something called 'solar power service' and get solar savings without ever having to pay for panels.)

If your home isn't currently on the market for sale, you might scoff at the notion of a speedy sale as a selfish aim. But if and when the day comes that your personal, career, family and financial plans are hanging in limbo, making the ability to move forward with your life and your vision contingent upon the sale of your home, you'll understand what I mean!

3. Boost Your Net Worth. Not only are buyers willing to bestow a preference on 'green' or energy efficient homes, they are willing to pay more for them. And remember - the value of a home at any given time is based on what a buyer would pay for it.

The Appraisal Journal recently published data to this effect: for every $1 green home improvements decreased the property's annual energy bills, the home’s value increases by $10-$25. That might not seem impressive on such a small scale, but these numbers translate to an increase of $8,000 to $25,000 to the market value of a greened-up 3,000 square foot home.
Same goes for solar homes; Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory compared solar homes to similar homes without solar panels, and found that a solar system can add around $17,000 to a home’s value.

If you are like the average homeowner, your home may be your largest asset - or your largest liability. One of very few ways you can reliably bulk up the value of this asset - and your net worth in the process - is to implement any number of green home improvements. If this is a big motivator for you to go green, talk with an experienced local agent about what green features local buyers most value.

One more thing: think very broadly about what it means to 'go green'. You could go solar or tankless, install insulation and weatherstripping, convert to low-flow toilets, and shower heads, switch out old aluminum windows for dual-paned - the options are limitless, and vary widely in cost.

4. Look better and live longer. There are green homes, and there are green households. I'm going to make the argument that if, in the process of greening your home, you take the next step and engage in the lifestyle activities that make for a green household, you can lose weight, feel better and possibly even avoid some of the chronic diseases that plague our society.

The green home element of this includes planting a kitchen garden and minimizing the water that is wasted just keeping your lawn green. Then you’ll have a back-yard (or front-yard, for that matter) harvest to reap and eat. Your household garden will attract birds, bees and, if your street is anything like mine, squirrels, deer or wild turkeys – fauna which all participate in the circle of life. (Hakuna matata.)

But maintaining a kitchen garden and implementing other green household practices like taking walks or public transporation may also increase you’re the quality of the air you personally breathe and help you shift the balance of your family’s diet from focusing on meat to the plant-based diet doctors now say minimizes the risk of heart disease and cancer, increasing lifespan. Plant-based, by the by, does not mean vegetarian or vegan; Wikipedia defines a plant-based diet as "an eating pattern dominated by fresh or minimally processed plant foods and decreased consumption of meat."

If digging and planting is more than you can take on, you can support those who do this for your community on a larger scale and still get the benefits of a plant-based diet by subscribing to a Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) program or walking to and shopping at your neighborhood farmer’s market on the weekend.

5. Live more comfortably. In the fifteen years since I moved from my scorching-hot hometown to the very mild climes of the Bay Area, I have developed an issue I call my 'thermoregulation challenge.' I’m fine when I go visit my parents or vacay in Arizona, but it’s tough to stay warm at home when dressed like a normal person. (This explains my penchant for wearing sweaters right around the calendar.)

So, I recently undertook a campaign to stop up all the drafts in my house, and wouldn’t you know it: life got way more comfortable – and fast.Call me a weatherstripping evangelist, but I can think of very few home improvements this inexpensive that make this much of a difference in the comfort level of your life. Drafts, begone!

And this increase in comfort from green home improvements was not a one-off, in my experience. I’d already noticed a major reduction in noise from installing dual-paned windows a few years back. The next thing I have my eye on is swapping out the big old vat of water that I pay to keep warm 24 hours a day for a quake-proof, tankless water-heater. Sure – the energy-efficiency sounds great. But so does unlimited hot water, no matter how long a shower I take or how many dog baths I give.

I say there’s a reason why so many A-list celebs who are used to living in luxury live green lifestyles. The good deed piece of it makes for great PR, but make no mistake: the green life can also be the good life.

All: What green living practices or home improvements have you undertaken? Did you any of them turn out to have selfish upsides?

Find out which remodeling projects will provide the biggest bang for your buck this year, according to Remodeling magazine.

Optimizing the use of space in a home will not only attract buyers but also give sellers more bang for their buck, according to Remodeling’s “2011–12 Cost vs. Value Report,” conducted in cooperation with REALTOR® Magazine and NAR’s HouseLogic.com.

An attic bedroom addition costing $50,148 was expected to recoup 72.5 percent of the cost nationally—inching up 0.3 percent from the 2010–11 report. The minor kitchen remodel also fared well, returning an estimated 72.1 percent of the nearly $20,000 job cost.

The report looks at the estimated cost and expected resale return of 35 midrange and upscale remodeling projects in 80 markets. The estimated costs and returns were derived from a survey of more than 3,000 REALTORS® conducted last summer. As in past years, REALTORS® picked exterior projects to recoup the most at resale. Among those, new fiber-cement siding was expected to provide the highest return, recouping an estimated 78 percent of the $13,461 cost.

March 16–18, 2012, will be a weekend for all to enjoy
Download the schedule!

Ten years ago, on March 16, 2002, the Oklahoma City Museum of Art opened in the Donald W. Reynolds Visual Arts Center. Visitors arrived long before the doors opened, lines wrapped around the block, and the new museum and its first exhibition, Dale Chihuly: An Inaugural Exhibition, received enthusiastic public support. Believe it or not, it’s already been a decade since the Oklahoma City Museum of Art welcomed its first guests to the downtown Donald W. Reynolds Visual Arts Center, and the Museum is excited to say thank you to the community whose support paved the way for its many successes with events throughout the year.

The celebration will continue throughout 2012 with special events and exhibitions, including ILLUMINATIONS: Rediscovering the Art of Dale Chihuly, Chihuly: Northwest, and the Museum-organized, 10th anniversary exhibition, FUSION [A New Century of Glass]. On view June 14 through September 9, 2012, FUSION will feature glass sculptures and installations from the twenty-first century that embrace the diversity and depth of the human experience. The exhibition is cocurated by the Museum’s Curator of Collections Alison Amick and Associate Curator Jennifer Klos.

Ingredients
2 cups flour
2 cups warm water
1 cup salt

Instructions

*Safety First: While homemade play clay is a fun crafting material for kids, adult supervision is strongly encouraged when producing the mixture.

  1. Combine flour, water, salt, vegetable oil and cream of tartar in a medium-sized pot and stir over low-heat.
  2. Continue cooking over low for 3-5 minutes until the dough resembles mashed potatoes—it should pull off the sides and clump in the center.

Tip: If your mixture remains sticky, simply continue to stir and cook until the dough becomes dry.

  1. Once the dough has cooled to a workable temperature, knead until it reaches a silken texture.
  2. Divide the mix into however many colors/scents you desire and form into balls.
  3. Form a well in the center of each ball and add the appropriate colors/scents. Work the dough until the colors/scents have become fully incorporated.

Tip: Working with food coloring can leave stains on your hands, so we recommend working with disposable gloves.

Additional Ideas

  • homemade play clay inset Storage: Play clay can dry out quickly, so be sure to store it in an airtight container or bag when not in use. Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, play clay can remain pliable up to 6 months!
  • Texture: For added texture, coffee grinds and oats are great options for something a little different.
  • Gifts: Play clay makes an excellent homemade gift. Simply put each color in a repurposed jar, add a bow and tag, and you’ve got a picturesque present guaranteed to supply months of cheer.

                              Empty Calories and Soil Tests

All things being equal it is generally recognized that a balanced diet consisting of a variety of fresh fruits, vegetables and lean meats gives our bodies the best opportunity for normal, healthy development. There are times, however, when the temptation offered by eating nutritionally challenged foods is difficult to overcome and we give in to the empty promise of instant gratification. We give in to the empty promise of empty calories. You know the type. Those calories we consume that don't really add anything of value to our general health and well being. Oh how I wish I could say everything I put into my body is a necessary and vital nutrient used to contribute to and promote my overall health. Unfortunately, I am guilty of consuming my share of empty calories in the form of junk food, chocolates and other treats to satisfy my sweet tooth.

Similarly, our lawns and landscape plants depend on essential nutrients to promote healthy growth and development. However, some of these are already present in adequate amounts in our soils and it may be unnecessary to apply fertilizers containing certain of these nutrients. Measures can and should be taken to ensure we don't supply unneeded nutrients in the process of routine fertilization. The best way assure this is by way of a soil analysis or "soil test". The information gathered from a soil test can be used to help determine what nutrients are needed as well as prevent supplying unneeded nutrients or "empty calories". One of the major plant nutrients we are particularly concerned with potentially over-applying is Phosphorous. A soil test can let us know if the amount of Phosphorous naturally occurring in the soil is adequate to support healthy plant growth. Any extra Phosphorous applied over and above that needed for healthy plant growth has the potential to find its way to ground water sources. This can lead to algae blooms and other negative consequences in these bodies of water. For this as well as other reasons we encourage all our customers to obtain a soil test every couple of years. Offering soil tests is just one simple but critical measure we at AgriLawn take to prevent any undesirable environmental impact resulting from our activities. Unless the results of a soil test indicate a low Phosporous level, we generally avoid applying this nutrient while fertilizing. The two exceptions to this self imposed practice is when we are (1) fertilizing newly seeded areas and (2) fertilizing landscape beds containing ornamental flowers and flowering shrubs. Phosphorous encourages root growth in newly germinated grass seedlings and good bloom set of flowers and flowering shrubs.

The other major benefit of obtaining a soil test is to determine the pH level of the soil. When the soil pH is not at the optimum level, nutrients supplied in fertilizers are not fully utilized and taken up by plant roots. If a soil test indicates that the soil pH is either too high or too low there are corrective steps which can be taken to bring the pH in a range that ensures efficient uptake and use of plant nutrients. When plant nutrients are used efficiently by the plants they are supporting, there is less risk for excessive build up of these elements in the soil.
