Earth Friendly Kitchen Makeover

   
 

Beautiful kitchen cabinets are a cornerstone of any major kitchen remodeling project. Instead of buying new ones (and sending the old ones to a landfill) give your old cabinets an earth-friendly facelift by replacing doors and drawer fronts and covering the rest with laminate or wood veneers.



New doors and drawer fronts and some fresh paint turned dreary kitchen cabinets into the glamorous centerpiece of this farmhouse kitchen. Legs at the end of the cabinets were made from old stairway newel posts turned upside down.


In addition to spending a fraction of the cost of new cabinets, you'll save the energy and wood needed to make a set of new cabinet boxes.
