Stay away from drawers that are stapled together or made of particleboard.2.Decide Whether to Paint or Stain – Though stained-wood cabinetry is forgiving, most finishes date quickly and aren’t easily altered. Brush-painted cabinets can lend a unique personality.3.Install an Island that Works – Beware of placing a bulky cube in the middle of the room.
