Adding Glass to Kitchen Cabinet Doors

Aged wood cabinet doors can give a contagious dull feeling to your kitchen surrounding. You can change the look of your kitchen by just adding glass to the selected cabinet doors. The glass doors can add space and light to your kitchen, plus the clear glass enables you to showcase your favorite dinnerware collection.

There are three specific kinds of glass you can make use of when renovating your cabinets:

You can choose from clear like window glass, which is the most perfect type of glass if you’d like to show off fancy collection. Obscure with patterns in the glass distort images of what’s inside the cabinets. So even though you’ll still be able to see what’s inside the cabinet, the image won’t be clear. Opaque is frosted or stained glass that you aren’t able to see through. If you want glass inserts in your cabinet doors, and you’d rather that no one be able to view the interiors, opaque glass will be a wise choice that will block keep anyone from seeing inside.

Adding glass to a cabinet door is easy that you can do it yourself. Start by getting together all the materials, tools like drill bits, a jigsaw and blade, a screwdriver, clamps, and wood glue. A new wood trim could be important to hold the glass in place as well as 1/8” mirror hangers and wood screws.

Adding character to your old kitchen cabinet can spruce up your kitchen to something that matches your personality. Good luck!

So You Are Considering Doing Major...

So you are considering doing a major kitchen renovation, but are hesitant because everyone is telling you it is costly and can even be down right difficult.

The first thing to do is planning the project with care so you can address every individual aspect of your remodeling. This involves analyzing the layout and aesthetic appearance of the new kitchen. You need to determine the space required, current features like sink and work benches, good storage areas, proper lighting and ventilation, painting, and if you need to reconstruct the walls.

To make it less expensive, take into account what is least likeable about the kitchen and find a solution to it. It is a best alternative to refurbish rather then replace wherever possible. Good repairs can make many kitchen cabinets, cupboards and drawers look much better and last much longer. Try introducing something new in the kitchen. For example, instead of the old granite countertop, go for the new quartz countertop, or replace your old flooring with the trendy viny flooring.

Make the most of natural light and position work areas, such as the sink and worktops which will be used for the most food preparation, underneath windows to cut down on how much artificial light you need. Take help of recessed lighting, overhead lighting and under cabinets lighting to do away with any dark areas. You could do still better with light colored cabinets that give the kitchen a light, airy and cheerful look.

Another kitchen remodeling idea is to have a bigger work center so two or more people can work comfortably in the kitchen at the same time. If space allows, a kitchen island is an excellent choice. For small kitchens, use smaller appliances. Always match the appliances with the kitchen to give a consistent look.


Incorporating your own ideas to your kitchen renovation will allow you to admire your work.
