Refurbish?

10 years ago

We have some gorgeous St. Charles caninets in our 1967 house.... Want to paint them and replace latches.... Looks like you did the same? Was it brutal to put the cabinets back together again? How did everything might not want you took it apart and try to reassemble after painting?

The cabinets we installed were new. A professional cabinet/appliance painter can paint your metal cabinets - they will usually paint the boxes in place and take the doors and drawers to their shop. I would replace the hardware first to make sure it all works so that you won't scratch the finish paint job.

I also have an overwhelming need to see something curvy, flirtatious and round in the space. Consider this when scouting for decor and accesory items (i.e. round rug, curvy fluid light fixtures). Also, would it be a complete abomination to sand down the furniture (so it looks older) or painting it a new color before upholstering to modernize it? I agree with j222b's suggestion in that the furniture and space could benefit from some eclectic coverings but perhaps a neutral fabric against a new color that could bring out the carving of the wood could work too? In my head I see a rusty orange or deep aubergine purple or rich dark green. Just a thought...

Hi @leewinnie, it is TRUE that white countertops turn yellow, or amber overtime, and not an old wives' tale as suggested. Good maintenance habits and regular cleaning will delay the ambering, but in Singapore's hot and humid climate, it will turn. here is an example of a quartz countertop which was refurbished by us. https://www.facebook.com/MetallicEpoxySG/videos/vl.722116121496310/2034594186840580/?type=1 for more information, head over to www.metallicepoxy.sg!

Hi Patricia, these are the chairs above. The look I like the most is the second last photo below, but not big on maroon as have so many maroon rugs and its dominated over the years. I was trying to go for a mustard, as per the samples, but thinking it too might dictate too much. I don't know...go a plain grey, or a pattern with nice cream and green? Sorry what's a sneaker?
