Need help for my kitchen

11 years ago

We have moved from this house and are using it as a rental until the market improves. However, we are going up to spoof things up. I only have 3-4 days to work on SO much. But, this kitchen is top priority. I need to paint those cabinets. When we moved in 5 years ago the counter tops had just been replaced with a tan laminate. The floors were new too and are tan/cream. These appliances are new so we just need to do something to the cabinets. I am thinking a gray, but I don't know anything about color. So I need help with color ideas and ways to make this look better to potential buyers with limited time and money. Thank you!

Talk to a realtor in your area. In my area, wood cabinets are still most common and do not detract from a house. I do not think painting the cabinets would bring in a higher price or faster sell if the house is priced right. It is what it is and paint will not change that. Make it as clean as you can.

The kitchen looks fine for a rental. Instead of painting, I would just give the cabinets a good scrub with Murphy's soap, wiping them well to shine them up. Then add stainless cabinet pulls. If there are obvious nicks or gauges, try to cover with matching stain.

We do want to sell it in the near future if possible...do you think it's still fine this way?

Agreed. Some hardware would be nice, though.
