An Inexpensive Drawer Pull Kitchen Remodel Portland Oregon

By Carl Watson


One day I looked at my kitchen cabinets and noticed something that bothered me. The cabinets still looked solid and attractive, but the stain on the edges of the doors and drawers (the ones that I used the most) had started to fade. I realized, because I never picked out a drawer pull for the doors and drawers in my kitchen, the finish on my cabinets was starting to show wear. It called for a kitchen remodel portland Oregon.

It does not even have to be just when you are planning to put your home up for sale before you remodel your cookery. Merely living there, you will suddenly realize that the cookery is the one space where the most things are going on in the home. In the cookery you cook and eat, in the cookery, you keep your food items in storage, as well as your cooking utensils and equipment, and the cookery is where you do some basic waste disposal. No, I don't mean toileting; I mean the trash.

There is no easy way to know whether the paint contains lead or not. I can just say that if the house is more than twenty years old, then you should assume there is. The thing is, some chemical strippers are hard to humans, and they are environmentally unfriendly. So you need to be extra careful when using them for your kitchen cabinet redo.

You can employ any method redoing cookery cabinets so long as the surface you start with is clean. The doors should be removed from its hinges first. Mark each door with a removable sticker so that confusion does not arise while re-hanging them back. The hinges and knobs should be removed and cleaned with steel wool that are graded 0000. The cabinet frames and doors should be cleaned thoroughly of every dirt and grease.

I ended up selecting a round pewter and black enamel drawer pull; the face of the knob was decorated with a finely-engraved sunburst design. The pewter finish was traditional, the design on the surface made it a little decorative, and the enamel picked up the black in my granite countertops. Best of all, my selection was reasonably priced, and the store had the 38 knobs I needed in stock. I was ready for my small-scale home improvement project.

Another inexpensive and easy thing you can do is install new knobs on the drawers and new pulls on the doors. Once your cabinets are really clean this also achieves a new look. If you have painted cabinets, you don't have to repaint. The new hardware will give the impression of new cabinets.

When I got the hardware home, I still hesitated when it was time to put the drill to my kitchen cabinets. I didn't want to mess up the doors and drawers. A few rules of thumb helped avoid this from happening. To make the proper size hole, make sure you use a drill bit that makes a hole just a little smaller than the bolt provided with the drawer pull.

Try to find matching oven mitts and towels and use them as part of the decor. Trade these out on a weekly basis (have four sets) and use these for decor only. This way you'll have a little change every week
