Rustoleum Cabinet Transformations Revisited

by //

In a tight economy, it’s now more important than ever to find ways to make sure our home makeover projects are done as cost effectively as possible. And to make this happen, this means using products like Rustoleum Cabinet Transformation to get the most out of what we already have available. Rust-Oleum Cabinet Transformations is a product that’s designed to provide a genuine alternative to traditional cabinet refacing offered by professionals. Truth is, cabinet refacing isn’t something that is generally done by the casual “do it yourself” type of person simply due to the various complexities involved.

Kitchens and bathrooms – cabinet refacing made easy with Rustoleum Cabinet Transformations

For a very affordable price of just under $80, happy customers are showing up all over the Internet expressing their satisfaction with being able to essentially paint their existing cabinets to look like new again! The only additional supplies that will be needed are the usual items for a semi-large paint job. A tarp, tape, paint brushes, and one addition thing that is lacking with the Rustoleum Cabinet Transformations product — more product.

Rustoleum Cabinet Transformations RevisitedYes, as good as Rustoleum or Rust-oleum is in offering a fantastic, effective means of redoing your cabinets for under a $100, it reportedly doesn’t provide enough product to cover the surface of some larger cabinet transformation jobs. To better highlight this issue, one individual recently explained that while the painting material is unbelievably easy to apply and it provides a great result, there’s a shortage taking place in the limited about available per container. Their specific project in question was to use Rustoleum Cabinet Transformations on two bathrooms and a kitchen.For this customer, the entire project ran them $240 in painting kits but it was a small price to pay since they dodged a massive expense of $20,000 for new cabinets. Best of all, Rust-oleum came to the rescue on the product shortage as well.

Unless you plan on Installing Kitchen Cabinets, sticking with the Rustoleum Cabinet Transformations paining kit is going to be the most effective, cost worthy method of taking your cabinets from ugly to gorgeous for less than most home improvement projects.

Is repainting/resurfacing cabinets difficult?

The above question can be answered with a single statement. If you’re using the Rust-oleum transformation paint, the cabinet transformation project is a snap. As long as you understand that completing your bathroom or kitchen project may require more than a single trip to the hardware store for the paint product, you’ll find that this entire process is much simpler than most people let on.

So if you’re someone with some extra time, that has a desire to fix some cabinets in dire need of an update, then I recommend you give Rust-Oleum Cabinet Transformations a serious second look. Worst case scenario, you decide to start over and take another cost-effective approach by installing kitchen cabinets instead.

Kohler Evandale Bathroom Vanity

Bathroom vanities come in many shapes, sizes and styles. One only has to take a trip to a local home improvement store to see what is popular. But what if you’ve gone to the store and you don’t see anything that you like? What then? Well. . . you could consider having something custom-made for you, search the internet or you could see what is available locally special order. Recently I asked myself that same question. And what I found out was rather surprising.  Did you know that Kohler makes bathroom vanity cabinets? I certainly didn’t. I knew Kohler makes the rest of the fixtures in the bathroom; from faucets and shower heads to toilets and tubs. But it never even occurred to me to check for bathroom vanity cabinets. Kohler has several vanities available and much to my pleasure, it appears this is a market they’re expanding on!

One vanity I found in particular that caught my interest is the Kohler Evandale bathroom vanity. I love the simple furniture like design, especially since it has the legs like a piece of furniture without being ornate. Keeping simplicity in mind, while maintaining a classical flair the Evandale has no drawers but does offer two doors.  The doors have matching finish square knobs and a little bit of architectural interest with 2 pieces of trim running vertically across the front and sides.

It comes in two colors and is a three-piece set that includes: vanity cabinet, stone vanity top and under counter sink. On top of that, if you are so inclined they make a matching mirror you can purchase separately. The Evandale three-piece vanity is a great transitional design, which allows the piece to match a variety of bathroom styles. It comes in two colors, Lily (my favorite!) which has a white stone vanity top and Sapele, which has a black stone vanity top. The Sapele color is a beautiful rich wood, while the Lily is white. When looking at the colors, I immediately imagine the Lily in a more feminine bathroom with little glitzy touches. Nothing overly “glam” mind you, but just a little sparkle here and there!  All the while the Sapele looks as though it could lend itself into more of a masculine or rustic design. See what I mean by the Evandale being a great transitional design? Going from feminine to masculine with just a change of color? That’s incredible!

The price of the Evandale is around $1200 depending on which color you go with. So expect to pay more than what you would get off the shelf of a home improvement store. But considering you’ll actually have a quality built cabinet and stone vanity top, from a brand you can trust, I think it’s worth the extra money! And I will definitely be checking out the Evandale in Lily for my next bathroom remodel.
