You can update the facade of the kitchen with your own hands with the help of paints and other materials, which today in the range can be found in any construction shop.
Painting kitchen facades with your own hands
To update the kitchen façade with your own hands, we will need a special chalk paint that gives a dense matte layer and dries very quickly, as well as a varnish with a matte effect and a little gilding for the finish.
- We will consider the simplest version of the renovation of kitchen facades with our own hands. The author of the lesson used a special chalk paint, which makes it possible to avoid preliminary surface treatment. If it is smooth and does not require cleaning from peeling or scratches, just apply three to four layers of paint.
- We will decorate the kitchen facades with our own hands using a special matte varnish and glaze.
- We put a layer of varnish and wait until it dries.
- Then we begin to decorate. After painting the kitchen facades with our own hands and a dried layer of varnish, we apply gilding on the area of carved hollows.
- This is one of the options, to make the facades for the kitchen with their own hands in the aging technique. But in this case, instead of sanding, we will use a different method: immediately after applying the gilding layer, we remove excess cotton cloth. At the same time, do not press strongly that part of the paint remains in the grooves.
- This is how the kitchen facades look like with their own hands before and after applying the gilding. It turns out excellent furniture in the style of Provence.
- After all is well dried, we apply a second thin layer of matte varnish.
- Similarly, the author of the lesson updated the bar counter in the kitchen.
- As a result, stylish facades are created for the kitchen with their own hands.
