Svara på: As long as you have Beth with ya, and others too - what is thought about Ikea's sort of minimal, timeless look, though bamboo!? https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/rooms/kitchen/froejered-light-bamboo-kitchen-doors-pubef012720

Svara på: You could try one of our penetrating oils, WOCA Color Oil to achieve the darker color for the 1st coat and then as the 2nd and final coat, WOCA Worktop Oil in Natural. WOCA Worktop Oil is food safe, FDA approved. Both products are plant based and VOC free. http://www.wocausa.com/shop/product/worktop-oil

Svara på: 13K to reface what's there in that kitchen?? whoa. that's out of line. what company are you using? you have 1/3rd the cabinets I do. I had my entire kitchen repainted, and completely refaced let me show you a larger pic. (it included all of that desk area too. they made two doors w/the mirror inserts, built out the vent hood to custom fit, moved the micro and modified the wall space for it, removed old trim/fluted molding, replaced w/flat molding where needed, built those two drawers you see in the island, all new toe kick, everything that you see that's painted white, plus the island, was refaced and painted. Also this double pantry. before and after of these Oh, plus the shaker style I got is the 45 degree beveled edge. easier for cleaning. All of what is pictured, plus the vent hood, making the two deep drawers on the island, removing all of the dated trim/molding and corbels, refacing w/solid maple drawer faces, and solid maple rails/stiles on the doors, all new soft close hinges, and a few other minor things, and I paid 15K. That's only 2K more and I got the vent hood, the wood trim in my island And the company I hired is one of the top rated finishing cabinet guys in the area. He was more expensive than the others. So, take your 13K quote for what you're getting (laminate overlay?? ) and factory finished refacing? What are the factory finished doors/drawers made of ?? The doors that I got were raw maple wood and my guys sprayed them to match. If you're getting factory finished, how does that work w/your custom color choice? Are these factory finished doors all wood/mdf center panel? or what are they made of. Any way, compare what i've posted and shown you, and then compare what you're getting for exactly the same price. (actually my quote was 13K. For 2K more, I got all new doors/drawers. that's how much my refacing actually cost. 2K. the painting price was already included in the 13K quote, because I was going to have my solid wood doors/drawers painted) hell, you could have a custom cabinet maker reface all of your cabs for half that price, and it would be solid wood.

Q

Svara på: doors come factory finished and then a laminate is applied to the frames. So, are the doors a laminate too?? so when you say they're doing a laminate, why? are your current cabs a laminate or real wood? I had mine refaced and they are solid maple rails/stiles, and center panel MDF. my frames were sprayed on site. to have all mine refaced was only an extra 2K. (i have 50 handles if that gives you an idea of how many cabs I have) Painting the cabs wasn't cheap, but an extra 2K for all new drawers and doors was a no brainer and they removed all the rope trim, build me a vent hood, drawers, etc. since you're refacing, have them build some boxes on top and take it to the ceiling. you'll hide the gaps w/crown that's what they did here If you're getting up towards a total reface, for laminate! , then you should look at other places. who did you get the quote from? If you say lowes or HD, that's why. they're a rip off what is the quote you got to redo your kitchen? all new drawers/doors, and what else?
