Kitchen Cabinets Hardware

Have you been wondering how to paint cabinet hinges? The answer is very, very carefully! That's probably not a helpful answer though. There are a couple different options available to you for painting cabinet hinges. There's a simple way to do it with just a little bit of prep work.

Let's look at the "easy" way. Using this method you won't need to pull the cabinet doors off the hinges. It will only take a couple simple supplies

Painter's tape

A hobby knife

A fine tipped model paint brush

Wet rag

Old newspapers

Prepping is the biggest time consumer here. You need to mask off the area around the cabinet hinge first of all. Start at the outside edge of your workspace and add layers as you work closer and closer to the hinge.

As the tape gets close to the hinge use the hobby knife to cut the tape to fit exactly around the hinge. It's vital that there be no exposed cabinetry. You can use the tip of the hobby knife to press all the tape into place.

Place the old newspapers on the counter top below where you're painting. Use this as your workspace for the paint can as well as catching any drips that might otherwise splash onto the countertop.

Next clean the hinge with a mild soap and water solution and let dry. You don't want to paint over any dust or built up goop.

Now comes the fun part, the painting. Use the fine tipped paint brush to evenly coat the entire hinge. Use only enough paint as needed to cover. You don't want to end up with any drips that might run down the cabinet or bind up the hinge.

Walk away from the cabinet for a few hours to let the paint dry.

Once dry, operate the door to make sure to break any paint welds that might have built up on the hinges.

With the door fully open now repaint the entire hinge. What you're shooting for in adding a second coat is to catch any spots that the brush might not have been able to reach when the cabinet door was closed.

Once again walk away for a few hours to let it dry.

After your well earned break check close and open the door a few times to make sure the hinge isn't sticking. If it operates fine and looks good without any bubbles or drips then congratulations you're finished!

All that's left to do is clean up. Be sure to pull up the painter's tape as soon after painting as possible. You don't want to risk leaving any residue behind that you'll have to scrub up.

That's all there is to a quick hinge paint job. Now that you know how to paint cabinet hinges the easy way you won't need to worry about the major pain of yanking the doors off the cabinets and removing all the hardware. All it takes is a little bit of planning and prep work and you'll have great results.

Help me choose hardware for new kitchen?

Small galley kitchen with Bisque maple cabinets in the shaker contemporary style with bisque appliances. Stainless steel sink, chrome faucet. Light ivory, cream granite (Bianco Romano) with garnet flecks. Tone on tone look. I like oil rubbed bronze for hardware but think chrome or satin nickel would be more modern and tie in the sink/faucet. Also since kitchen is small I was wondering if I could mix handles and knobs for visual interest since color scheme is so neutral. Or would that look too "busy"? Any input would be great. I haven't picked paint or back splash. Overwhelmed!

I just re did our kitchen in almost the same exact colors except I have large single bowl bisque sink and stainless faucet and appliances.
Personally I like the stainless steel with the bisque better than the oil rubbed bronze. It's a cleaner, brighter look and easier to find matching accessories. Although the oil rubbed bronze is nice, it's hard to find matching hooks, knobs and hinges unless you want to spend lots of $$.
I have 3 colors I used with with the eat in kitchen. We used Sherwin Williams Banana Cream on the walls above the chair rail/paneling. Then did the chair rail and paneling in Behr's Laurel Mist and the trim in Behr's Gobi Desert.
Walls were satin finish. Chair rail in semi gloss and paneled bottom was semi gloss. All crown moulding, and trim and the cabinets were done in high gloss. Doors in semi gloss.
On the backsplash I did 13X13 ceramic tile in a bisque and sand that I had cut in half and then got 3X3 glass tiles in Celedon to put in the middle and the other half of the tile on top. Everyone that's seen it so far says they're going to do it on a project in their house so I'm happy that I chose it that way . I wouldn't do too much that looks busy on the hardware because it's so expensive. I'd keep the kitchen united with the stainless and add punches of color with accessories(dish towels, curtains, rugs) and other kitchen gadgets. Then when/if you get tired of it, it's easy to change colors and refresh the entire kitchen's image again.
I found tons on Ebay. Got the stainless knobs and inset hinges for literally a quarter of the price I found in HD or Lowes. SAME EXACT product! I'd find what I wanted in the stores and get on Ebay and find the sellers that sold in bulk and bought them that way. One even had 6.95 shipping for any quantity. That gave me money left over to spend on something else for the kitchen. Good luck and hang in there. When you get it all done, it's sooooooo worth all the headaches!
