relaminate?! paste decals?

I am thinking of re-laminate but can it last? Coz looks like current owner cooks everyday and the place is very oily.

If lamimate should I use light colour like white? Shld re-laminte all surface? (which is very tough coz i m thinking DIY) or just some of the doors... but not sure if the result is nice or not.....

thanks.

Hi

You may wish to consider doing a orange glass back splash.

[merryman 0]

backsplash not really necessary for the oil due to having tiles, unless you want to use that to brighten up the place...

not sure the condition of the wood, so I can't tell you whether it will last...

you may choose certain doors to laminate to give a pattern effect or just the top cabinets for uniformity...

white will be too dull, your bottom is black or dark brown?!

if you wanna want it to look bright, get the bright/light colors...

just opinions hor, I'm also noob...

white and light grey doesnt differentiate much..

light blue/green/yellow?!

more lighting in orangey color might be nice... not sure how you want to install them DIY though...

if the cabinet condition is good, change the cabinet doors and countertop. That's what my friend did for his resale flat, budget makeover. I am planning to do that with mine.

the place is only 7 years old thus the cabinet so it is in good condition. Thus i still prefer to re-laminate myslef rahter than changing the door.

thanks for the advice!
