I want to paint my kitchen cupboards but the skin is peeling off of some of them. I was wondering if I peel the skin off the doors that are peeling down to the MDF board, but keep the other ones on, and paint them all the same color, how it will turn out? Has anyone tried this? I don't want the ones that are MDF to look different than the ones with the skin. And I'm hoping that I don't have to peel the skin off ALL of the doors. Thanks!
Dear DIY,I have had these lower kitchen cabinets for close to 30 years. I can't afford to reface them. Can I paint them? If so, what would I need to do so? Any advice would be helpful!Sharon Old & Ugly
One of the many things you can do to transform your kitchen is to change your countertops. If completely replacing them isn’t an option for you right now, updating your existing laminate with countertop coating is a great way to achieve a new, fresh look without breaking the bank.

Even the most beautiful vintage buildings can suffer from less-than-charming later “upgrades.” Ashley Alongi’s New York City apartment building, for instance, was built in 1900—an architectural era that brought plenty of charm by way of moldings, woodwork, and more. But her apartment’s kitchen? That was all 1980s, with oak and melamine cabinets and checkerboard vinyl flooring.

Laminated Cabinets?? If you have laminated cabinets, you know it...and I'm sure you know all the problems that come along with them. Unlike real wood cabinets, these are made from pressed particle board, and covered with a laminated plastic material. I've only ever seen them in white. These are usually just in a bathroom or laundry room, but I have even encountered them in a kitchen...yikes! They don't seem bad a first. They are stark white, usually have nice beveled edges, and they aren't paint, so they don't chip. The problem is they do peel off. The front piece of plastic is separate from the back piece. They join around the edges. When this area gets moisture, the particle board starts to expand, and the plastic lifts of at the edges. Most people see this, and just live with it. You don't have to live with it, and you don't have to replace the cabinets either! You CAN paint them! First things first...get the laminate off! If the plastic is already peeling go ahead and pull it all off, it will come off easily, as you can see here. If your pieces aren't peeling yet, you can speed up the process by lifting the edges with a knife. Here is what it will look like when its off. I wouldn't worry so much about the base pieces, but if you can get them off, even better. From here, you will have to prime them, use an oil based primer. It has be oil,and not latex, it will not seal them in right if you use latex. Oil will harden the surface, and not allow any more moisture to penetrate the particle board. I would use two coats, to make sure it is sealed well. Getting a smooth finish is easiest with a foam roller, you may need to sand it lightly between coats. A cheapy chip brush is good also. They are around $1, and you won't feel guilty throwing it away afterwards. Oil is not the funnest to clean up. From here your options are endless. You can use an oil based paint in a solid color, or do a faux treatment. For these cabinets I used a silver leaf finish. I started with a black base paint, then a leaf glue, then a silver leaf. On top I put a black wash, and a couple coats of sealer. The knobs were found at Hobby Lobby. They have a great selection of fun pulls, perfect for bathroom cabinets, and furniture.
Soft and chewy magic.
Can you install laminate floor over tile and why would you want to do it? Is it possible to get a new floor without removing the old one?
