Give your kitchen cabinets a fresh coat of paint if they are looking shabby. A clean white or a sophisticated black are both great colors for almost any look you are going for.

Spray paint them silver or oil rubbed bronze, if your hardware is still functional but is just an ugly color. Spray painting hardware is very easy with today’s products and will instantly update your kitchen for just a few dollars.

Step 4
Give your kitchen countertops the look of granite by painting them. Thousands of people have done this with great success for only a hundred dollars. You can even paint over laminate!

Throwing out your ugly working appliances is tempting when you can not stand the sight of them.

The application is easy and it will give your appliances an updated look without the cost of replacing them.
