Give Your Kitchen a Fresh Look
With This Simple Saturday Morning Makeover
With an early start on Saturday morning, you can update your kitchen to
reflect today’s trends by lunch time. With just a screwdriver and tape measure, even a novice do-it-yourselfer can
successfully add new style to any kitchen.
"It’s possible for
someone unfamiliar with basic home repairs and maintenance to replace
their cabinet hardware in as few as three minutes per cabinet and on a
budget of about $150," said John Pelka, vice
president of marketing, Hickory Hardware (www.HickoryHardware.com).
“With this in mind, homeowners can upgrade all
of their kitchen hardware in as little as an hour, depending on the
number of knobs and pulls, and whether or not they replace the hinges.”
To get started, consider what kind of hardware to include in your
kitchen that will best reflect the style you’d
like to achieve. "There is a large selection
to choose from when replacing decorative hardware,"
said Pelka. "It can often be overwhelming to
decide on styles and finishes. One thing to keep in mind when doing a
quick makeover is to replace knobs with knobs, and pulls with pulls, to
keep installation as simple as possible, save time, and avoid drilling
unnecessary holes in your cabinets."
More tips to keep your kitchen makeover quick and simple:
Count twice, measure twice, and buy once. To ensure you come home
prepared, count all of your knobs and pulls twice. For pulls, measure
the space between screw holes, as this will be the center-to-center size
you will need to purchase.
Replace functional hardware, if visible. Don’t
forget about hinges! If the existing cabinet hinges are visible and the
new hardware is a different finish, you will want to replace them as
well.
Save time. You can save time by using an electric screwdriver or
drill to remove and reinstall your hardware.
Choose your hardware carefully. Hickory Hardware offers product
lines that deliver the style, function, and value that consumers seek in
today’s marketplace. Find a style that doesn’t
just look good, but also feels Crafted For Your Life™.
Relish. Sit back and enjoy lunch with your family in your newly
made-over kitchen!
