Budget kitchen revamp ideas wanted

Firstly, if anyone has had success with painting laminated surfaces, I am interested. Our kitchen cupboards are over 30 years old, sturdy but a garish yellow. There is also a large pantry with laminated sides. A renovation will be expensive as removing all the laminated surfaces will require replastering etc. I am hoping for an acceptable short term solution while we work on other projects around the house. Secondly, the cedar kitchen windows are badly peeling and sun-stained. I don't want to paint them but would rather maintain the original look as the nearby family room has stained timber trim. I have had a lot of differing suggestions from professionals. If anyone (amateur) has actually tackled this job, I would appreciate your feedback. The windows are subject to epic levels of heat, cold and condensation so a very hard wearing product will be required.

    Hi,I haven't used the laminate paint myself but I've heard good feedback,r u going to totally renovate the kitchen at some point? If so I would paint all the cupboards and walls white to freshen it all up,even go over the splashback with the tile paint, definitely keep the cedar windows as is don't paint them,nothing looks more beautiful than timber and all white,very Scandi and on trend! As for the benches ru in Australia ? BUNNINGS sell stone or stone look benches off the floor 4 as little as $99 dollars or another option we have purchased proper stone online at stoneoffcuts ,u won't believe how cheap big slabs of stone r as they off cuts from other jobs,worth a look!! Hope this is helpfull.Nicole

      Use a good flatpack company for your kitchen

      Many thanks for all the comments so far. I am leaning towards a full renovation within 12 months but I wanted to see what others thought. The rest of the house is quite good so an el cheapo fix may not be wise even in the short term. Nicole - I love your imaginative ideas and will give them some thought. The kitchen probably looks better in the photo than in real life. On the positive side, it is large and well lit, probably too much so for all white but I may be forced to bow to popular opinion! Thanks especially for putting up the photo. Has anyone used EZIKIT flat packs?

      hi, i did a revamp in our kitchen a few years ago. i used a product "white knight" tile and laminate paint. you also need to get their primer for under coat and the paint can be colored. i just went for a white. also painted the bench tops in black. i looks great and good wear. looked like a new kitchen. after painting benchtops you need to paint over a clear gloss sealer. this product is available at bunnings and masters. easy to use, surfaces must be cleaned very well before applying this paint. i also painted over our ugly brown and pictured tiles. it took me a full weekend to do entire kitchen. as far as windows go, you just lightly sand them back and restain and clear lacquer coat. you could even add new more modern door handles.
