How do I fix/redo my laminated kitchen cabinets?
I have old laminated kitchen cabinets and am looking for an inexpensive way to make them look better than they do now. They are 20 years old and starting to peel. While the boxes are good the doors are showing their age and I’m trying to figure a way to make them look better until I can afford new doors.
