How do I refinish my kitchen cabinets?
+5
My grandfather built the house I live in and made the kitchen cabinets. I would really like to redo them but also leave some of the old fashion appeal to the kitchen.

Here's a range of ideas in order of ease:
Paint hardware
Replace hardware
Stain cabinets
Paint cabinets
If you have a picture, that would help to advise but probably gel stain with updated hardware would be the way to go. Also, it depends on the desired look you are trying to achieve.
What a family treasure!! Do you want to refinish them? Paint them? Consider taking the doors off of one or 2 and displaying your dishes. Are they heirloom dishes? Watch the u tube videos to update your cabinets. You need to clean them real good. Soft sand by hand if necessary. Wipe down with dish soap mixed with water. There are a number of home stores with dish storage display shelving. I think with the beauty of the original design and a twist on displaying your own dinnerware, this space will be awesome!!
if they are 'real' wood .. and i would suspect they are; I'd leave them natural wood .. and just give them new hardware, a deep cleaning with appropriate products for wood, and then apply Howards Feed n' Clean and buff to a soft shine ... use at least every other month or so...
