Kitchen Help: This cabinets did not turn out as expected!
Hello BP Sorry for the errors in advance, accidentally pressed post before I was ready. I'm renovating a kitchen and the cabinets did not turn out as expected. I brought the top cabinets and tried to save/salvage the bottom cabinets. I had both cabinets sanded and stained and this was the results. This is a 2 bedroom rental that I expect to bring in $1000-$1100 a month on the south side of Chicago. I wondering how I should proceed.
Option A: Leave it as is (Cost $0)
Option B: Have the cabinets professionally painted gray, black or blue ($950-1200)
Option C: Buy new Expresso cabinets ($1800)
I'm a strong believer in "the style of your unit will attraction a certain type of tenant". I don't want to attract a bad tenant who likes mediocre or substandard quality but I don't want to waste money if this is an acceptable kitchen either. I have hardwood on the first floor and laminate on the second floor. What is your opinion?? Thanks in advance.
