80's Laminate Cabinet Kitchen Update Advice
Comments (125)Hi Goughbar, I used "ivory palace" . The color is from Behr's (Home Depot) pallet. I got the paint from Sherwin Williams. I bought a rather expensive gallon of acrylic. About $50. I've used oil base in the past, but I guess they don't sell it anymore in Pennsylvania. I only needed one gallon and my kitchen is pretty large. I'll attach a picture of all of the cabinets. I used Krud Kutter and a light sanding pad to prep them. It's so important to get any grease off of them!! I primed with two coats of Zinzer and then painted. I removed all of the doors. Kind of a miserable job, but so worth it to take the time to do it right. Just found this old picture of my kitchen from when we first bought the house....See MoreUnder mount sink with laminate counter??
Comments (22)If you want a sink bowl suitable for installing in a laminate worktop you need to get a flush mounted inset sink, or a flat mounted inset sink. Both options cover the exposed edges after you cut into the worktop. I wouldn't recommend using an undermounted sink in laminate worktop. We use Suter as our supplier for flat and flush mounted sinks.

Comments (34)I did granite counter tops with my creamy white cabinets. You said no to Browns but they had so many choices at the slab yard, it was actually overwhelming to go there. Here is my kitchen just for comparison....See MoreAre you happy with your laminate kitchen counter tops?
Comments (61)I have never had stone counters or felt the need for them. Our current home we built in 98 and has the original unblemished green Formica in both kitchen and laundry. I chose slate color tile for the floors, backsplash and island top. Timeless. Looks great and handles the occasional hot pot or casserole dish. The island tile has a rounded corian perimeter edge, which is warm, easy to wipe and does not wear. I’ve always used laminate in our rentals. It’s inexpensive, easy to replace or repair and has thousands of patterns so it’s easy to go bold and change it every decade if you wish. Only thing I don’t like are the dark seams, so I always pick a rounded or bullnose front edge to eliminate that. Sheets of laminate are 48” x 120” so with planning most top seams can be eliminated. Color core is a new laminate with no brown substrate so joints or sharp corners are invisible. By the way, under mount sinks are now possible with laminate if that’s on your wish list too....See Moreaa62579
