With an early start on a Saturday morning your kitchen can be updated by lunchtime, according to a hardware store.Hickory Hardware says with a screwdriver and a tape measure any novice can have a new-style kitchen reflecting the current trends in a few hours.The stores vice president of marketing, John Pelka, says Its possible for someone unfamiliar with basic home repairs and maintenance to replace their cabinet hardware in as few as three minutes per cabinet and on a budget of about 150 (75). With this in mind, homeowners can upgrade all of their kitchen hardware in as little as an hour, depending on the number of knobs and pulls, and whether or not they replace the hinges.The first thing to consider is what kind of hardware you want to use, Mr Pelka says.For a quick makeover he advises replacing knobs with knobs and pulls with pulls, to keep the installation simple, save time and avoid drilling unnecessary holes.He says homeowners should count twice and measure twice so they only have to buy once.Once the makeover is complete the whole family can sit down for lunch in the new-look kitchen, he adds.According to the Halifax, more than 2.8 million households are living with an unfinished kitchen as time pressure and financial constraints have prevented them from completing a DIY project.
