Nice job. I'm so tired of watching kitchen remodels where perfectly good cabinets end up in dumpsters. Obviously this was time-consuming, but the end result is beautiful. I'd like to see more of us revamping, rather than replacing. Thanks for the video.
I sooooooo agree
The amount of work to refinish would be overwhelming - notice he had two people working on this. I say skip the pore fill and either paint or just sand and touch up the poly or varnish. Still a massive amount of work either way.
I work in a cab shop and trust me, if your cabinet is worth anything we will take it and make stuff out of it lol wont go in the dumpster. most cabinets have cheap panels in the middle and not worth salvaging (some cases the middle panel is solid wood and that's a steal!).
after watching this, I decided to rip out my cabinets and distribute them in dumpsters all over town
I'm afraid to do this. I would hate spending all that time to have them look terrible.
The timing of this is perfect! Not quite ready to move from our home but getting there. As kitchens sell homes (almost always) this is a great solution for those with builder grade oak cabinets (me) that don't want to spend thousands (me again) on new cabinets just to leave them behind in the house. Very nice results! Thank you for posting!
You would get a far more expensive look if you cleaned the wood and went for a natural wood finish. And that is even on builder grade.
The reason why modern kitchens do not use natural wood is that people cannot actually afford them. Painted look means even mdf can look higher end.
In modern times it has become expensive to have wood as a built in. I had a cousin who restored a natural wood kitchen and everybody that sees it thinks it is some super expensive custom built furniture.
In AZ I grew up with oak everywhere, I don't have a problem painting it, so tired of it lol.
I think it's almost criminal to paint beautiful natural oak.
IKR, wood is neutral, I see young people calling it “orange” I just don’t get it. If you don’t like the tone of the finish there is such a thing as wood stain.
My kitchen is out of date, but my plan is to just wait until this comes back in style.
50 years ?
lol! we laugh but that time will eventually come!
Yep. In a few years home buyers will come through the house wondering, "Who the hell painted over these gorgeous oak cabinets, and why?" My last house had original oak flooring throughout . . . covered sometime in the last 40 years with bland carpet. I pulled up all that carpet and transformed the house.
My house has original white painted cabinets. I refaced the cabinets and made new doors and stained them Golden Oak. That is so outdated now that we are toying with painting them white.
It's the circle of life.
Builder-grade oak cabinets will never be “in style.” They’re more of a necessary evil.
I have been watching you since 2009, and I have always loved what you do and how you do it Mark, in this video you sound just like David Marks and Bob Ross... I can't think of a better compliment. That level of awsome is what every youtuber should strive for. Thank you Mark for sharing.
I did the exact same thing to my oak cabinets...both top and bottom cabinets are the same color. I used the same paint as you plus added the crown molding. The one thing that elevated the entire look was adding door pulls and door knobs to complete the look!👌🤩
I am going to try this. Did you have any previous experience and if you ended up liking yours? Thank you so much for sharing . This looks so intimidating to me!
Spray on auto primer/filler works great and dries really quick. Con: fills all gaps including the panel,rail/style joints. if you clen these as you go it works great.
Professional painter here! Love the festool and GF products I use these often. On your next project of cabinets try out the GF stain blocking primer (2 coats) and then use 2 coats of satin “Cabinet Coat” from inselx.
How much would your charge to do the job he did?
Great job! They look beautiful. I love the two colors. You brought her kitchen into today from two decades ago!
You are a great teacher! Very patient with this tedious work, & very articulate. Thank you! Also, love to see sons spoiling their mamas with beautiful handyman work like this!
Thank you for telling and showing us the difference between pour fill and showing the grain. I personally like the grain showing through. Yes, definitely a lot of work for the flat finish and definitely worth the work if you are willing to put in that work!
Totally agree about only doing the job for someone you love. I did several projects for my daughters that people always say I should sell or do for pay. My response is “ I don’t love them enough to do that for the money they’d pay! “. Thanks for sharing the process Marc.
Do what you love for a living and you'll end up hating your hobby.
@@plasmac9 It's true that when it becomes your job sooner not later you have the "I do not want to do this right now but I have to cause it's a job" and that breaks it as a hobby, but doing something you like as a job doesn't remotely lead to hating it.
I’ve watched a lot of UA-cam videos about painting kitchen cabinets, and I’m liking what I see with “Beyond Paint”. I haven’t seen a single thing that’s wrong with it, so that’s what I plan to use on my oak cabinets.
I did this last year to my oak kitchen. A helluva project but it exceeded my expectations. Used Spray Nine degreaser to clean, sanded between coats. Used two different primers- the doors closest to the stove ( greasiest) needed a very sticky primer ( Stix) and the other ones used a less sticky but more opaque primer. Each door got four coats- two primer and two top coats. I used Dulux and Stix primer and BM Advance in white-Pearl finish.
The wood filler step is unnecessary- on mine, there’s very subtle grain coming through, but looks excellent. Using the right sheen is the most important step; Pearl is the right sheen.
I am about to do the same job, and the store employee recommended me the Stix primer but i was wondering if the oak still bleed through it since it's not a stain block primer?
@@cutscenesgems7824 I watched a video on Stix earlier today and it is not a stain blocker, it's meant as a 'conversion' primer, a base for the next primer or paint. ua-cam.com/video/e7jskY5uoUg/v-deo.html
so did you prime and sand or just paint over
This was the video I didn't even know I needed. I was searching for general painting tips for cabinets and stumbled upon this. After watching, I phoned a friend to see if the cabinets I was painting were oak (they were) and decided to take a few more days to do this the right way. I'm so glad I did. Thank you!
You've given me a lot of inspiration for different projects. I love your channel and I hope u never stop!!! The most recent piece I've made is a chair that is carved to look like the initials of me friend! Thank u so much Marc!❤️
I really like wood grain myself but this was a definite upgrade. I think the uniform Oak faces, even though they look warm, was kind of bland looking and the two tone really makes the kitchen pop and look clean and new. Nice work man. Also it's good to show Mom some love.
When my parent bought their final house, the second owners had painted over the stained cabinets, my parents eventually had them stripped and re stained, I have the home now and I like the country look.
40 years as a painting contractor I have probably painted somewhere close to a thousand cabinets. Never used any filler but I did use a an extremely high quality sealer primer with 2 coats, and 2 coats of finish paint.
What primer ?
thanks for the tip, but exactly which primer/sealer? Did you thoroughly sand it all? or just damaged areas?
All you have to do
I love that you sprayed the doors. I see so often people absolutely terrified of hvlp sprayers, it was just so nice to see someone actually spray something for a change. They aren’t prohibitively expensive either, I threw a system together for well under a grand. Anyway, really nice work! The cabinets look fantastic!
Great tips... exactly what I was looking to do with my "vintage" 1970s cabinets. I personally do not mind the grain lines... they add some texture.
Followup on my project... I decided to not fill my face frames since they are barely noticeable and opt'd to rebuild my doors. I wanted shaker style over the original and building new doors will be a much larger project, but worth it in the long run. My plan is to use oak frames and MDF or plywood panels. The paint will provide a slight texture to help hide the oak pores, yet still allow a bit to show and match the doors to the carcasses.
You did a beautiful job! What a great updated look too! I’d love to paint my pecan cabinets white; they’re well made, but I don’t care for the natural wood look anymore. I don’t think I would ever tackle all that work though. Thanks for a very informative video.
Looks great! I especially like the addition of the crown molding.
Huge thank you for showing the same finish filled and unfilled on oak. I've found plenty of comparable photos but never in the same finish.
Oil based primers do wonders as a base coat to either oil based or latex enamel paint without the pore fill. Works great! I've never had grain show through with this method and I've never pore filled.
@Hugo Sanchez ben moore advance is great. as good as oil base, and water cleanup
@Hugo Sanchez EPA and climate nonsense is why.
@@racerx2348 so I wouldn't need to pore fill? I have 29 doors, 13 drawers and I'm 77... so, I need simple, effective, and no do-overs!
@@judymiller5154 ive never pore filled. see how your doors look once they are primed. if they look good to you , then you can finish coat
Awesome job! I’m about ready to start on mine soon! Love to see all the tips and tricks to a beautiful durable finish!
Love it! Looks great. My keeps looking at videos that paint cabinets. They make it look easy. I work for a painter in my teens and this is a lot of work! If mom is happy that is all that matters!
Beautiful job, 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 and yes, a ton of work. Even the older style tile and countertops looked updated afterwards.
My mom repaired and repainted her 25 year old pine cabinets and the kitchen looks amazing. It was a lot of work but she has real solid wood cabinets, she could never afford that nowadays. New hinges and pulls and the kitchen looks brand new! I just remember telling her, "I see how it is, all of us kids move out and now you paint the kitchen and make it look nice and new". It is almost like she has more money without having to feed three kids anymore ;)
I love painted cabinets! Looks great!
Thank you for showing the difference between filled and unfilled! I have about 10 doors to do, and I was wondering about the grain...Great demo! TY subbed
Watching you and the amount of effort you had to put in, multiplied by the amount of doors I have decided to exclude all my family and friends and my mother and wife.
I think you saved your relationship with your family! lol
As a woodworker this video broke my heart.....You did a great job and it looks incredible but I love natural wood finishes.
I just did this exact same thing to my house from that old school pine to a new update what a huge difference just some paint patience and a backsplash! Increased my home value just in updating it!
Nice to see a good Australian product like Timber Mate getting used overseas! It’s a staple for woodworkers and tradesmen over here.
Looks great! Really like the two tone effect. Only thing I would do differently is add door and drawer pulls.
Kitchen looks great. My husband cut down a walnut tree and had it cut into lumber and planed and sanded until smooth. They were the first cabinets he ever built. All I put on them was polyurethane and the color is lovely. Every time I look at new cabinets I compare them to my solid wood and after 25 years mine still look new. I'll keep them. Oh and the tree was about 100 years old and we got a lot of cabinets from it.
It looks modern and beautiful! So much better than before.
I have to say I'm not a fan of painted kitchens but that looks really really nice. Very nice combination of colors, and, as I always see from you, top-notch work. Thanks for sharing!
Cool video, thanks. I fill open grain by wet sanding with water based poly, sprinkling previously gathered sanding dust as I go (inspired by old timers doing it with oil). I keep the poly in a large plastic syringe and squeeze it out as needed, sometimes spraying with a water bottle*. I push the paste formed into the grain with the paper and then level it with a knife (if flat). It even looks great under a clear coat and fills smaller imperfections. I just refinished our 30 year old oak stair treads and they now mirror reflect, one of my pandemic projects.
edit:* if paste gets too dry and thick
This guy just made me change my mind! The hell with all that work
Thank you for this video! Easy, clear ( great microphone) and pace was great too!
Wow I bet you have a very happy mom. Truly elevates the sophistication of her kitchen. ♡gorgeous♡
Oak Cabinets are never outdated!
In my family we’ve had success with primer that’s made specifically to conceal knots and wood grain. The wood has generally been pine (still a ring-porous wood, but much softer than oak), and using the right primer made a huge difference.
For anyone in Norway reading this: se etter kvist- og sperregrunning; bare sperregrunning dekker ikke kvist og årringer.
Primer acts as a screen for the finish to be applied to.
Do you mind giving me the primer product name? My email is curleyandlc@aol.com. Thank you!

I don’t know what the type of primer is called in English. It doesn’t have to be a specific brand (although the ones we’ve used have been Norwegian ones that I’m not sure you can get in the US), just the right type. Ask at the store, because they can probably help you.
@@elsiemontgomery7974
Zinsser,B.I.N ultimate stain blocker is good product we can have it at home depot/ Walmart/ Amazon....
When I built my condo in 2004 I thought I picked a cabinet color I would love forever but I'm starting to look at them and know I want them updated. Thanks for all the great information.
Real nice cabinets at mom’s condo. Love the result color choices. Great!!
I'm in England, and my Kitchen Oak cabinets are about 150yrs old, which is pretty new considering the house is 773 yrs old. I wouldn't dream of painting them, even if they are out of date!
I would never paint solid Oak cabinets...change the backsplash or countertop yes but cabinets...Nooooo
I love that in America our "old" houses are newer than your 150-year old cabinets :)
Pics or it’s a lie! (Seriously, I’d love to see it.)
Wow, I want to see your house!
These cabinets aren’t
Wow, a sprayer I guess is the way to go huh? Those look amazing
We just did this to our kitchen. We did buy new doors. We felt it was really wasteful just to throw boxes away to buy new boxes no one would ever really see. Saved some money too. Great Video!!! Appreciate the tips!
Those profile sanders are amazing. You get a better finish and much easier on the hands. I sanded a few hundred linear of feet of trim remodeling my kitchen (wanted to save the original woodwork) and they were a game changer.
Make people's life happier is all that matter. Congratulations, I am sure your mom is proud of you!
Open floor plan, painted cabinets, gray paint, waterfall countertops, mid-century modern. All this will be in style forever, like these bell bottoms.
right you are
You forgot about shiny gold door handles. Classic
Some of that has been for decades now.
So many people want to repaint their cabinets. Great idea and a well done video, as always.
This is going to get a ton of views!
Wow, great transformation. It looks like a professional job! Great job! I didn't know this about oak at first. Thanks for sharing!
The end product looks very nice. Yep, I'm one that would never paint over oak cabinets. Personally, I like the natural look of the wood grains with a nice stained finish.
Me too
Maybe if somebody explained to the mother how nice the original was and that had quality look to it she may have changed her mind but to be honest a lot of this is to do with taste.
My kitchen is completely solid wood and my mother asked me would I ever paint them and I nearly spit my coffee out
Me too! I would never paint solid wood cabinets. I also think that using the filler makes the cabinets look like laminate. I really don't like laminate. Now those that aren't solid wood - yes, I would paint those.
MrTBoneMalone, same here. There’s nothing more beautiful as natural wood. But, to each his own, I guess.
Was builder grade cabinets. Not like painting over fine finished oak. He added a lot of value with filling the pores. Most folks would not invest the time. I thought it was a good presentation
I love my natural oak wood cabinets...natural wood is stunningly beautiful. Oaks trees died for my cabinet...at least i can honor them and thank them and show their real beauty
Your mom is lucky to have you do that for her! I need mine done desperately! They look really nice.
I repainted the Cabinets in one of my Rental Properties.
Looks Great ... Saved Money.
Had fun finding the Cabinet Refinisher inside of me. THANKS.
Tip: Use a fine finish foam roller on the cabinets in the kitchen. You won't get any brush strokes, and it takes less time.
As a painter I agree this is great way to get the look of sprayed. No brush marks.
I had success with a velour roller on a swivel roller, and used floetrol additive for easier application and fewer brush strokes.
@Nick Montagnoli If you use a regular roller it will leave a little bumpy texture. The foam roller leaves a very smooth surface very close to the appearance of spraying.
@Nick Montagnoli I should have written no roller texture. I had a customer that wanted to save money on a job. I took the cabinet doors home and sprayed them. The customer rolled and brushed the cabinet frames. If you are painter you know how that turned out.
20 years down the road somebody will be removing that paint, the home improvement GAME is alive and well
Painting cabinets have been popular for years and years, lol. Orange oak isn’t coming back in style.
James Miller um, like you will know either? Hypocrite much?
Scott Heaton, and calling them outdated cabinets. Personally, natural wood is never outdated. It’s almost like wingtip shoes!
@@saraklotz2289 : Who cares about "style" -- and who gets to decide WHICH style is currently acceptable? I say do what you like. But if I had to choose between beautiful natural wood, and doing a WHOLE LOT of work just to make it look plain and white like MDF, the paintjob would always lose.
looks great
Excellent video. Thanks for posting this. This is a great option, especially if your old oak cabinets are in decent shape but you're tired of the dated look. I love the darker lower cabinets against the light upper cabinets, and the tip for the crown molding was great!
Very nice video, right to the point, good product info and good technique demonstrating. Clear, concise, everything you want a video to be.
Some nice Modern chrome pulls for for the doors and drawers would have been a nice finishing touch.
"Never half-ass two things, whole ass one thing" - Ron Swanson
Great job! Informative video. Working on my own kitchen even as I type. I am replacing the doors. The face frames are being sanded and primed with Zinssers shellac based primer. Then lightly sanded and topcoated with Sherwin Williams Emerald urethane enamel. (Satin). Key is to use top quality tools and techniques. So far this has taken about 4 long days and have not gotten the doors as of yet. Thanks for the video...looks professional.
Beautiful! Excellent job!
I repainted my oak builder grade cabinets and they look great still 4 years later And everyone said don’t paint cabinets. Home Depot “pros” (Crooks) wanted 40k to just replace the doors and put in granite. I had to superglue all the floating center boards as the grain filling and paint would fracture all along the edges. I sprayed Sherwin Williams pro classic door and trim paint after priming well and it ended up perfect.
You could have also cleaned the oak up and finished it to a high standard. The most expensive kitchens you can buy are natural wood look.
I think in many people's mind they view it as cheaper because the wood probably needs a little bit of restoration.
Thank you for this video. We're house hunting in Missouri/Kansas there's an inordinate amount of homes with these outdated oak cabinets that have such an ugly coloring to them. Once we buy, we'll most likely have to redo the cabinets.
Omg I have sooo many cabinets in my new home that look just like this and I was thinking the paint job would be easy, but it’s more than I thought now that I’ve watched this video. Looks great though! And worth the time
Excellent video! Clear, informative, and organized.
Steel wool works good for the between coats sanding, particularly on the contours.
I agree! I've had a lot success using 0000 Fine Steel Wool during the finishing process. I also like to get a package of light weight paper lunch bags/sacks at the grocery store, cut them up into the sizes I need, and use them to sand between finish coats. They're perfect for just removing dust nibs and not compromising the finish.
I paint cabinets for a living. You got great results. I recommend priming with white pigmented shellac. After a thorough cleaning... sand, vacuum, and tack. Then, your choice of finish. I prefer waterborne lacquer. Two coats. However, if you are brushing or rolling them, the product you recommend is great. Waterborne lacquer doesn't brush well.
Great job.
I’m also a painter and I religiously refer cabinet jobs to the experts.
Lol.
That paint is AWESOME. I buy unfinished wood products and after sanding, I paint and use the satin finish. It is an absolutely beautiful product in the end.
I just discovered your channel! I’m impressed with your work/results. I’m VERY impressed with your presentation of the technique. You are a great teacher and I’m excited to get my project started! Thank you.
I think you did a great job and the door looks good. I work for a professional cabinet refinishing company. We do our fare share of oak cabinets. Each two man crew does at least one kitchen a week. We have a much different paint that you can’t buy in a store and it’s water based and sprayed on the doors and the the drawer fronts in our shop with an hvlp sprayer. We use bin primer and roll it on with foam roller and that’s how we fill the grain it works and it dries fast then we can burnish it and put the color coats on. Then we put on a uv top coat and cure it with uv light. It comes out just as durable as the prefinished hardwood flooring you buy from Armstrong. The problem I see most people do is they just don’t prep the wood properly and they try and rush it and then it looks like they painted it with a brush. The products that they sell at the big box stores like rustolium cabinet refinishing kits are garbage.
George Charbonneau True. Those "simple, quick, easy, no sanding" cabinet painting videos are BS. A year later they will be scratched specially where the handles and pulls are.
I was wondering how much grain filler you ended up using for the whole project? I am prepping to start my kitchen project and just trying to get ready.
Great Instructional Video~Thanks So Much for sharing your talents and How To do this!
Great way to Save outdated cabinety in Kitchens and Bath Vanities! The end result is only as good as the time and technique while prepping to paint.
Of any of the techniques I've seen, yours makes the most sense to me! Thanks again! :)
Simply beautiful! Great job 👍🏼
looks great!! but man, that is a lot of work.
I have 27 doors and 11 drawers that would be too time consuming
@@jbncnow Srsly!!
You should do some ASMR grain filling videos haha!
General Stain products are awesome. Nice job on the cabinets . For those naysayers General Stain does a line of gel stains that is amazing. Turns those builder grade cabinets into truly beautiful rich finish that enhances that transforms those tired out of date cabinets. And no it doesn't peel or fade.
I loved the subtle comment about covering perfectly good wood with drywall. Not everyone has that same taste.
The correct way to finish your kitchen cabinets is the way that you want to finish your kitchen cabinets.
If that’s the look you want, then sell the oak doors to some Ron Swanson who’s going to appreciate them and use that profit to get cheap painted particle board...
Until you decide to list your home. That's when you discover personal taste isn't always sellable.
@@chazblank2717 Selling the cabinets to replace with crap particle board just bc u want to paint them is absurd. Personally I would've chose staining over painting oak cabinets but that's just me. Either way, paint can be stripped and the cabinets can be stained or painted in the future.
@@Maynke painting the cabinets did not decrease the resale value lol. They can be stripped and sanded to reveal the natural wood again.
@Shannon Bullock No matter how you explain it, it just doesn’t make sense to me... stripping and sanding = $$$ = overall decreased value for the buyer who actually wants to see their oak cabinets and bought their house from an idiot who painted over them.
The original wood looked beautiful. The new painted doors look great as well. I personally would have stayed with the original doors.
I didn't realize the painting nice wood craze is back again. I was hoping that practice was buried in the 1960s.
Great job. I get poo pooed all the time for painting wood. I just stripped and painted an antique oak buffet and made it into a bathroom vanity and we love it. And in the long run....you are the only one you have to please. Great video, and very helpful as my next project is doing my kitchen cabinets...thankfully our kitchen is way smaller than your mums.
Better than going to the landfill, for sure.
That stuff reminds me of ‘bondo’ body filter for cars. Build it up, sand it down, then you can finish. Personally I like the wood look but it is good to know
Well it is pretty much like "Bondo" for wood.
Literally came to the comments to say... Why not just use Bondo? Probably harder and easier to sand, idk
Ya. Some girls use it on their face. Their pillow case tells the full version of what I'm talkin bout. 🤭 (Did I just say that)
We used bondo all the time for wood repairs like this. Works great.
You are such a good son! ♥️
Awesome tips. Thank you so much. I’m trying to decide now what to do with them old oak 90’s cabinets on the cheap. 🙏 Thank you for your knowledge buddy 😊
This video was so helpful. First time I took notes since high school. I can’t wait to refinish my cabinets now
Five years from now: "Removing Paint From Those Beautiful Oak Cabinets"
I would use a higher end paint, or paint system to be specific, preferably with a hardener. Speak with auto body painter that actually has some schooling or degree in Paint.
Chapman new cabinets are not meant to last long. The point is to get them cheap and switch them out to get a new kitchen.
"Ugh look at this ugly white paint. So bland, it's always dirty. And look at the paint chips. Lets strip this nasty paint and get a nice wood stain on there instead."
Removing paint from oak is very hard if not impossible.Once painted your probably SCREWED!
Heavy Bob Ross vibes in the pore filling section.
The sound of happy little trees... just a dab of titanium white..
Happy little pores.
Looks great! I love painted cabinets; is another opportunity to add a personal touch. Because the space between the top of the cabinets (topers) and the ceiling is considerable, I would have added a raiser (?) of about 6”, then the crown molding. Great tutorial!
Great video, sure is a lot of work. Shellac mixed with a little talc makes a great grain filler, sands like a dream, drys super quick and can be quickly brushed.
I've repainted my builder grade cabinets and even without grain fill, it took easily over 50-60 hours of work to do. 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of paint
This guy had another guy helping them and it looks like it took them 4 days from start to finish so you're spot on here. You could build new doors from scratch, finish, and have them installed in about two and a half day and that's working by yourself.
@@plasmac9 If you have the shop and setup.
Lol 😂 I love how many times you let people know that they can do whatever they want with their cabinets. You tell em man
Trying to stave off the inevitable. :)
@@woodwhisperer But why didn't you just use the Domino? 😂
@@woodwhisperer then why even do it
Good for him, there's always a negative comment or someone that prefers their oak cabinets ( I wonder why they are even watching this video) 🤔 anyway amazing job! I wish I could see an simpler way?
This is great and has perfect timing. I will be helping my daughter do exactly this shortly. I was not familiar with using the filler like that. Thank you for the tips.
I am in the process of resurfacing all of my kitchen cabinets as well. I've already done the bathroom and it actually wasn't too bad but there are a lot more cabinets in the kitchen! The house was built in the 60's so if you can imagine, I've got my work cut out for me. I've decided to sand everything down to the bare wood and buy all new and updated hardware for the handles and hinges. Wish me luck!
Natural wood is timeless, its paint and colours that become outdated,
Was thinking the same. Kinda liked the white was look...
EXACTLY! I think so, too. It's one thing if you decide you'd rather have plain white cabinets instead of beautiful natural wood -- but how in hell are they "outdated"??
Will they stop being functional as cabinets just because some PASSING TREND or other tells you their time is up? Ridiculous! People need to stick with what they like, not listen to self-appointed "style experts" who try to tell them that what they like is "no longer acceptable" for no good reason whatsoever.
Dont paint cabinets ....thats why they still sell oak cabinets
@@stevecarson4162 you do realize the style experts follow the trends of what people want, right?
@@braceyourselvesfortruth2492 : That still doesn't explain why oak cabinets are "outdated"? Will they still work as cabinets? Yes, they will. Since when does WOOD go out of date? It's not like one of these transitory FADS that people will be embarrassed they ever followed, when the PTB decide that THEY are out of date, too.
How do they decide what people want? Do they do surveys? (No one has ever asked ME.) No, it's quite clear that the fashion experts please themselves and expect everyone else to do what they say.
