The described ways to make your own headset new - not all. In the piggy bank of homemade craftsmen there are a lot of options for other decors and materials for their creation. It is important to consider them all and choose your own individual version.

If something in the old furniture broke or she lost its appearance, it does not mean that it is necessary to change it. Furniture can be restored, with any furniture, including kitchen. To begin with, it is important to determine what exactly was broken, is it possible to fix whether the repair will be a temporary or furniture will still be able to serve for a long time. In that case, if the headsets are made of good material or requires only the correction of cosmetic defects, repairing kitchen furniture with their own hands justifies itself. This is especially true of wooden furniture, it can be repaired repeatedly. But also more affordable furniture from MDF and chipboard is also repaired when, for example, it is necessary to reflect the appearance of the facades.

Cosmetic repair of kitchen furniture

Usually faster the whole kitchen loses appearance, and most of all this is noticeable on the facades. If these are the facades of the MDF, then in some places the film is lagging behind (vulnerable places are the fronts of the facades), scratches appear, appear spots from various contaminants, for example fat, the coating changes the color and becomes inhomogeneous by tone.

Restoration of small damage

Small damage should include chips, scratches, scuffs.

1. Skoles are eliminated with wax. Pre-lined at the edges of the chipped with molten wax, grind, and then painted with special markers, picking up colors. Then they fix the finish layer of varnish.
2. Washes are rubbed with a soft cloth from the microfiber, which is applied to the dye from the marker.
3. Scratches polish with furniture wax.
4. If some parts diverged, the edges are wetted with PVA glue and pressed the clamps to each other.

It happens that the edge of the tabletop headset or kitchen table is dugs. It can be replaced with a new, suitable color. To do this, the edge, scissors, construction knife, iron, will be required.

1. The edge is cut into parts, according to the size of the table top, with a small allowance. First make blanks for long sides, then for short.
2. Then the iron is adjusted so that the edge does not overheat and not wait.
3. The edge is smoothly applied to the end. For convenience, you can put a tabletop end.
4. Uniform leisurely movements are watering along the edge of the iron, as a result of which the glue molds, and the edge is glued to the end.
5. While the glue is not cooled, it is necessary to press the edge to the tabletop, stroking with pressure along the edge with a piece of felt or cloth.
6. The excess edge on the corners is cut by scissors, pouch with a knife.
7. Excess edge from above and below, if it does not fit in width, cut off with a knife, gradually, towards the worktop. And then pass again in one movement, applying the blade at an angle of about 45 degrees to the tabletop.
8. Corner joints are slightly stuffed with shallow skins.

Swollen, the film is dug

You can stick back, if this lack is insignificant. For these purposes, the usual PVA glue. The main thing is to get to all hard-to-reach places.

When the problem acquires a global scale, the film will have to delete. This is done as follows.

And after that, two options are possible: either paint the facades, or glue a new film.

Staining facades

If it is decided to paint, then the facades will need to be inhaled to consider the remnants of the glue and align the surface. This applies to both MDF, chipboard and solid wood. In places where the cutter passed, the material can be rough. To prepare for painting, professionals are recommended to take:

• entround paper P220-280 on the foam rubber. She best takes shape, and it can be sophisticated complex bends;
• scotch Bright P220-280 is a nonwoven abrasive material, something like a felt. They pass hard to reach places;
• antysilicone - acts as a degreaser;
• plastic primer (suitable for both wood);
• epoxy soil - needed for good adhesion;
• acrylic soil is a filling, for alignment of the plane;
• solvents.

If there is a gloss on the facade, it is necessary to knock it down throughout the plane, to achieve mattness. Then carefully remove dust from the surface, degrease it and put the primer for plastic. Then they are ground with epoxy soil, give it to dry 3-4 hours (if there is no paint and varnish coating on the facades, this step can be skipped) and grind the fluffing ground, grind, preparing the facades under painting.

As a dye, paint can often use paint. Staining the facades, first pass the ends, then put the paint with a smooth movement from side to the side, moving up from the bottom up or top down, with the overlap of the layers.

Decoupage

A popular way to update furniture is a decoupage. It is characteristic of the rustic interior styles, especially Provence.

	First of all, unscrew the handles from the facades.
	If there are some defects, they are eliminated.
	To remove the paint coating, you can use the wash. After applying the means, the brush should be covered with the facade of the film.
	Then, withstanding the time, according to the instructions, the lacquers believes the spatula, as the film is cleared. Repeated use of washes.
	The surface is well sandwiched, the dust is cleaned with a dust rag.
	To achieve transparency of paint, mix white acrylic varnish and white acrylic paint. Paint in the direction of the tree fibers.
	The drawing must be carefully cut down by the stationery knife along the contour, fed to the size of the plane. To position the elements symmetrically, control the distances using the measuring instrument.
	Apply the napkin and on top of it are applied PVA glue.
	Then, after drying the glue, the surface is fine skin.
	Apply acrylic varnish with a thin layer. Shucing again and lacquer.
	Additionally, the facades can be decorated with putty. The composition is prepared as: mixed oil putty with PVA glue, achieving the consistency of sour cream. Attach the stencil in the right place and the spatula is applied over the stencil putty.
	The resulting ornament is grinding in shallow skin. If you wish, you can tint putty. Then this section is covered with acrylic white varnish.
	Then we are applied to the surface of a matte yacht varnish.

Printing self-adhesive film

If there is a desire to give the MDF facades a specific texture, use self-adhesive film. Before sticking the film, the facade is prepared as before painting. Film It is important to stick carefully, avoiding the appearance of bubbles.

1. First, a suitable piece of film with 2 cm batteries on each side are cut out. Then exactly applied the film to the edge of the facade, after removing 5-10 cm of the protective strip.
2. Print material with small sections, smoothing and gradually removing the protective film.
3. If still formed bubbles and they cannot be expelled, it is necessary to pierce them and release air.

Replacement table top

The DSP countertop sometimes comes in disrepair completely, if, for example, she swept away from the water. In this case, it is not necessary to order a new one. You can make yourself a tabletop from tiles. Such countertops are first, durable, and secondly, you can choose almost any design. It is fashionable to spread the countertop from the mosaic.

	The basis of the countertop is the extruded polystyrene foam. It is installed on liquid nails.
	First, liquid nails are applied to the base, then polystyrene sheets are laid.
	A metal plinth protecting the ends of the tabletop is installed on liquid nails.
	Then angular plinth
	and thin plinth for tiles.
	Then they apply tiled glue to the worktop.
	The same is done with tiles. And glue it to the tabletop.

Broken mounting holes

Chipboard has a property not only to swell from water, but also crumble under load. From a frequent non-accurate opening of the door of the cabinets, the screws split the holes and are pulled out what is called "with the root". Just fasten again to the same place, the self-sufficiency is impossible. But there is one long-known method of repairing broken holes, which still successfully use.

If there is more serious damage when the laminated coating is hosted around the mounting place, use in another way. Mix plow glue and wooden chips. This composition fill damage. They give dry, and then screw the self-sufficiency, as if it were a new surface.

Second life chairs

Viewing the methods of repairing kitchen furniture, you must say about the repair of chairs. The easiest way to update is a cover, which will hide all scratching, scratches or patches on the seat. If a stool with a solid seat, then it is enough to paint it, you can decorate with decoupage. The work is carried out by the same scheme as in the case of the restoration of the facades. Old stool with soft seats need to drag. Consider in more detail how to do it. From materials and tools you will need: sandpaper medium grain paper, primer, brushes of different sizes, gloves, paint, batting, upholstery fabric, furniture stapler.

	First remove the seat and remove the upholstery and filler.
	Then cover the wooden seat of the primer, it has antiseptic properties. Trunking, leave until complete drying.
	The chair itself must be sanded, then brew and repeat these two actions again. If you want to achieve the effect of the perfectly smooth surface, then you need to make additional sanding and priming, and the leveling primer.
	Then you can proceed to staining. It is recommended to start staining from the inner parts, niz.
	Then the chair turn over and apply paint to the upper part of it. After drying during the day, the chair is stained with the second layer of paint.
	Leaving the allowance of 4-5 cm, cut a piece of fabric in the sizes of the seat, two sides are immediately. Moreover, the folding of the tissue must coincide with the outer edge of the seat, i.e. Details will be connected together.
	Then the batting is cut. It is enough to pave a fabric in 4 layers.
	All batting is fixed around the perimeter with a furniture stapler.
	Then lay out the upholstery with the withdrawal side, put the seat down with a Vatin.
	They pass the stapler on the sides, then separately bend the upholstery at the corners, fix the brackets. The remaining piece of upholstery is put on top, fell inside the extra. And pass the stapler or hot glue.
	Install the seat.

And it still happens that the tree is breathed, and the chair begins to stagger. This problem is also corrected independently.

And if the basis of the kitchen is in good condition, then she will be able to please you for many more years. There is one more important item - you did not overpaid for the update, because almost all wooden kitchens are based on the chipboard, and they only have the front panels from the tree. Think for what you have new costs, when the "skeleton" of furniture and so good. If the shelves have been contaminated during the past years so that they are almost impossible to drop, look at the surface of the self-adhesive film under the tree - inexpensively and beautiful!

Moydodyr

If our tips and examples with the photo did not convince you to update the old kitchen set, then try at least just a pretty wash it. For many years, a huge amount of soot and fat is entrusted to the surface of the furniture, and it can even change color with high-quality cleaning. Furniture, which is finished with plastic and is covered with enamel, is easily cleaned by the usual washing powder at the rate of one tablespoon per liter of water. Missing the surface of enamelled furniture with water above fifty degrees with soda or economic soap, it is not worth it. The listed funds lead to fading enamel. A tree is sufficiently wiped with a well-squeezed cloth, and after that dryly wipe the surface of the furniture with a flaxed napkin.

If there are many small cracks and scratches on the surface of the furniture, acquire a special tool in the store that masks them. In the event that on the lid of your table, the stain is stained from once the hot pan, you can easily linse it with a mixture of alcohol and vegetable oil.

Metal kitchen parts that have darkened or sweat from time to time can be updated independently cooked asymoid alcohol (30 g), chalk or dental powder (15 g) and water (50 g). All this mixture is necessary to break carefully, and then apply with the help of a flannel napkin on a darkened surface and grasp it to shine. After such processing of the furniture handle will be better than new ones.

In a word, choose the way you liked and go ahead! All you do for the sake of your favorite cuisine, believe me, will appreciate the advantage and will be a long time to please you with your new type. We will be happy to see in the photo, as furniture has been transformed, thanks to our advice and your skillful hands.

An old kitchen set in need of transformation is quite realistic to restore independently without special financial investments.

The most common ways to update facades are the use of decoupage techniques, painting, use of moldings and self-keys.

1. The simplest - vinyl stickers

The most economical option is to update the facades with the help of a self-adhesive film. Using this method does not require special skill and applying professional tools.

For work it is necessary:

• Vinyl self-tech - purchased in construction stores or in advertising agencies;
• Stationery knife, scissors;
• Square, long line (at least 80 cm), construction roulette;
• Special scraper for smoothing material.

How to stay with your own hands?

1. Remove all kitchen doors. Clean them from dirt, fat, dust. Eliminate the identified deformation of the facades: cracks to smell, cut bumps, etc. The surface to which vinyl stickers will be applied should be treated with a degreasing agent.

1. Move each element with an accuracy of a millimeter. Move the resulting dimensions on a sheet of film with respect to direct corners. It is important to make a margin around the perimeter at least 10 mm on each side. Crop the film according to the obtained size.

Example: The overall size of the facade of 200 x 700 mm. Cut for it film should be 220 x 720 mm. The example is valid only if the film is planned exclusively on the front part without capturing the ends. If it is necessary to apply restoration material and on the side parts of the door, it will have to add the thickness of the material to the total size.

1. The sticker of the vinyl film (oracale) occurs in stages. A small plot of protective paper is removed and the open part of the sticker is applied to the top of the facade. The bubbles of air are "driven out" the scraper, and then paper is very slowly tightened with a back. At the same time, it is necessary to continue with a spatula (or similar tool) to eliminate the formed emptiness with air.

1. Pruning excess material occurs immediately after applying a film to the kitchen facade. Next - installing new fittings and fixing the doors to lockers.

Perennial use of the kitchen sooner or later makes itself felt: no matter how high-quality headsets are, over time he loses a valid appearance. And then you have to choose: buy a new headset or update the kitchen with minimal cost. Many stop in the second version, namely update the facades using a special film.

Kitchen to:

Kitchen in an intermediate state: buy a new or update the facades?

On the right, traces of glue are visible - the consequences of attempts to repair the headsets.

Options for "new clothes"

Since the headset itself is not yet falling apart, then you need to update the facades. It will benefit as appearance and protect material from moisture. Options for updating the facades of the whole two:

1. Finishing
2. Individual photo printing on glue paper

The owner of this kitchen stopped at the second version, after which he was reflected about the theme of photo printing. The initial option with a separate picture for each door was rejected: a general view will be too distinction. Even after some thought, it was decided to choose a print with nature, the "breaking" of which the apron would not affect the perception of the picture.

When searching for a suitable print, the picture should be selected with the maximum resolution - only in this case it will not be blurred.

Getting to work

The owner of the kitchen took advantage of a pretty simple method: I was looking for pictures according to the word "nature" with the permission of at least 40 megapixels.

This option was the most appropriate, but with minor amendments: a huge butterfly was decided to remove. Approximately so print should look like in the kitchen.

In the photo editing program, an sketch was made, for visual understanding that it would be lost from the picture. The butterfly was replaced on the grass.

With this picture, you can safely go to the advertising agency. The print was selected with lamination, in order to update the facades, they could be washed.

You need to print in a slightly enlarged size, so that there was an opportunity to attach ends and wrap the film inside.

After that, you can proceed directly to the facade pasting:

1. Knowing the dimensions of the door, it is necessary to throw 1-2 cm on each side for the ends and another 1-2 cm on the break.
2. Cut the picture of the required size.
3. Degrease the door and remove all irregularities.
4. Gently stick and smooth.
5. We make holes for the handles and install them.

Use a hairdryer as in the case of a car film it is impossible:the film is deformed.

The most difficult part is the corner of the door. You can take them in two ways, here is the case of taste:

1. Jack
2. Vanosest

Corners should be covered with maximum accuracy, as the self-adhesive film will not hold on to the supercle.

During the cuisine update, it was decided to unload the shelf to dry the plates from the covers accumulated there, hanging them on the doors on the reverse side. To do this, you need to purchase ordinary hooks and consolidate them in any convenient way.

To the tapping screws were not visible under the film, the holes for their installation predeterday must be translated, i.e. Make holes for console.

The final stage of the update headset steel door under the cooking panel, which was not originally. The doors were made of 5 mm. plywood. With a special desire, you can collect the heads from plywood with your own hands.

The shortcomings in pasting can be removed by the blade, but for this you need to wait 1-2 weeks: then the film will finally take its place.

The refrigerator can become the most severe element for pasting. Get ready for the fact that the film will have to be repeatedly removed and stick once again, good, it allows. Get rid of small bubbles very problematic, so excess air is better to drive out after the process is completed using the needle.

Conclusions and prices

Several conclusions on the basis of updating facades:

• Film can be washed and rubbed.
• It holds very well, removed with great difficulty.
• Door corners are the weakest places.
• The film is easily scratched.

The costs of such a cuisine update turned out to be as follows: about $ 120 per print on self-keys with lamination and about $ 90 per fane, hooks and handles. When buying a regular film, the budget can be reduced at times.
