This series demonstrates how you can breathe new life into an older home (in this case, a 4<sup>th<\/sup> generation family home), while keeping its structural integrity intact.<\/p>\n<p>Our expert design and restoration team \u2014 Jason Lai (interior designer) and Jared Foster (contractor\/pro painter) \u2014 worked together to transform a kitchen that was well past its prime. They first conceptualized which cosmetic changes would make the most impact, and then rather than gutting the entire room and starting from scratch, they repurposed and restored. By refreshing dull wooden cabinets, creating bar seating with a stunning new look, replacing heavy black appliances, and updating hardware, countertops, and backsplash, they transformed a dark and dated kitchen into a bright, airy, and modern one, renewing it for years to come.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Destination Restoration: Updating a Kitchen for a New Generation\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/r4ivNY5Axrk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>If it\u2019s your first time restoring a kitchen, it can feel like a big undertaking, which is why we broke down what we did below, so you can get a more detailed understanding of how we upgraded the heart of the home.

Then we used <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/primer\/kilz-premium\">KILZ 3<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Premium Primer<\/a> to prep them for a fresh coat of paint. To create some contrast and brightness in the room, we chose Charcoal Blue for the lower cabinets and Chic Grey for the upper, both colors by Behr Paint.

(Check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/an-outdated-living-room-gets-a-facelift\">Living\/Dining Room<\/a> restoration to see where that center beam ended up!) We also installed recessed lighting by Kichler Lighting and rattan pendant lights.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Appliances &amp; Additional Lighting<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>We updated the hood vent, oven, dishwasher, and refrigerator with stainless steel appliances for a sleeker, modern look. To ensure the hood vent matched the upper cabinets, we plastered, primed (again using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/primer\/kilz-premium\">KILZ 3 Premium Primer<\/a>) and painted it using the same Chic Grey (a color by Behr).

Lastly, we added a 1&#215;1 rail texture detail under the counter with hidden outlets.

Priming helps solve a wide range of problems, including highly porous surfaces, stains, odors, uneven surfaces, texture differences, and adhesion problems.<\/p>\n<p>For this kitchen cabinet facelift we used, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/primer\/kilz-premium\">KILZ 3<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Premium Primer<\/a>, which is ideal for high-touch surfaces and humidity protection. It was perfect for our cabinet refresh thanks to its exceptional adhesion and ability to hide blemishes, stains, and other imperfections, which can accumulate over time, especially in older, generational homes like this one.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2023\/03\/KILZ-Blog-Destination-Restoration-Kitchen-Cabinet-Refresh-KILZ-3-Gallon.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/KILZ-Blog-Destination-Restoration-Kitchen-Cabinet-Refresh-KILZ-3-Gallon.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/KILZ-Blog-Destination-Restoration-Kitchen-Cabinet-Refresh-KILZ-3-Gallon-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Step-By-Step Guide to Refinish Kitchen Cabinets: <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Painting wood kitchen cabinets requires a few basic steps to get the smoothest finish and lasting results. Here\u2019s an easy guide to follow for your next project:<\/p>\n<p>1. Use a screwdriver to remove the cabinet doors and drawers from the cabinet frames and to remove all door handles and hardware.<\/p>\n<p>2. Sand the surfaces of the doors, drawer faces, and cabinet frame to create a smooth surface for priming. Do a first pass with 100-150 grit sandpaper then finish with a second pass of 180-220 grit sandpaper. Remember, the higher the \u201cgrit&#8221; number, the smoother the finish.<\/p>\n<p>3. When sanding, move the sandpaper in the same direction as the wood grain. If you go against the grain, you will end up with a lot of scratches that will show through your topcoat.<\/p>\n<p>4. After sanding, wipe down the surface with a damp cloth to remove any dust or residue. Allow to dry.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9339\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2023\/03\/KILZ-Blog-Destination-Restoration-Kitchen-Cabinet-Refresh-Prep-Cabinets.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"344\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/KILZ-Blog-Destination-Restoration-Kitchen-Cabinet-Refresh-Prep-Cabinets.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/KILZ-Blog-Destination-Restoration-Kitchen-Cabinet-Refresh-Prep-Cabinets-768x264.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>5. Protect your floors and workspace from paint and primer by covering it with a drop cloth.<\/p>\n<p>6. Now it\u2019s time to prime! Using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/primer\/kilz-premium\">KILZ 3<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Premium Primer<\/a>, use a brush to make smooth strokes that go in the same direction as the wood grain.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2023\/03\/KILZ-Blog-Destination-Restoration-Kitchen-Cabinet-Refresh-Priming-with-Brush.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/KILZ-Blog-Destination-Restoration-Kitchen-Cabinet-Refresh-Priming-with-Brush.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/KILZ-Blog-Destination-Restoration-Kitchen-Cabinet-Refresh-Priming-with-Brush-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u2022<strong> Pro-tip:<\/strong> To get better coverage along the sides of your door, raise it off your work surface with bricks.<\/p>\n<p>7.
