A new kitchen on a budget

Could your kitchen use a facelift? Do your kitchen cabinets look like they are from the 70s? Face it for those of us who spend time in our kitchen cooking we would like to enjoy ourselves while we cook and for those of us who do not cook we still want our kitchen to look good. I spend a lot of time in my kitchen and I would love to redo all my kitchen cabinets but I have priced it all and the cost is prohibitive. If you have been to any home improvement stores lately then you know how expensive new doors and cabinets can be. If you plan on spending money on home improvements then you should think about how to get a new kitchen on the cheap.


Replacement kitchen doors can be the first step to a kitchen remodel. You are not replacing everything in the kitchen so it would be one item per cabinet and sometimes that alone can do the trick. This would give you a new look without breaking the bank. If you choose a different route then maybe the kitchen doors and drawer fronts is where you would like to start and finding cheap kitchen doors would save you money in the long run. If the kitchen doors need a little paint then I have found this would still be less expensive than buying new ones and no one would really know that you did not go out and purchase new ones. There are some really great suppliers available that carry second hand doors and kitchen drawer fronts. Some of these suppliers are places like Habitat for Humanity that carry various items that are still in great shape and can be purchased at low cost. When you are remodelling and trying to get a kitchen on the cheap you will have to do some research and that means shopping. I have found that shopping for cheap kitchen doors or drawer fronts can be messy. What I mean is that if you are shopping for a "salvaged" door which means it may have a dent or scratch then you probably don't want to wear your best outfit to the store. Usually there is a little dirt involved when you are handling the items but it is worth all the shopping and research when the money you saved can be used toward the purchase of something else you have your eye on.


I have found that the best way to get new replacement kitchen doors is to go online and search. In the online world there are many companies that supply new doors at a fraction of the cost you would pay in a shop, added to this the choice is wide and you are bound to find something that suits your design.
