If your kitchen or bath needs an update, you can give either one or both of them a facelift without a complete remodel. Cabinet re-facing is a great alternative and can be tackled even if you are a beginner when it comes to home improvement.

There are plenty of choices when it comes to cabinet re-facing, so you are sure to find something within your ability and your budget. You can update your cabinetry to improve the look and feel of your home or to add value to your home if you're planning to sell.

Either way, there are plenty of options that don't require demolition and remodeling. For a fraction of the cost, you'll get a fresh new look.

While some cabinet re-facing options can be somewhat labor intensive, it's still nothing compared to dealing with contractors and sawdust, or attempting a remodeling project on your own.

Here is a list of the most popular cabinet re-facing options:

• Painting
• Refinishing
• Adding Molding
• Veneer
• Replacing Hardware

*Check back next week for more detailed discussions of each of these processes.
