2. Reface Kitchen Cabinet Doors

Perk up your kitchen by replacing the doors on some or all of the cabinets. If you have recessed-panel doors like these, remove the center panel and insert reeded, textured, etched, or stained glass.

Or give the panels a facelift by painting them with chalkboard paint or covering them with a textured wallcovering.

If you have flat-panel cabinet doors, take them from contemporary to Shaker style by adding lattice molding around the edges and painting the doors.
