So, NOW here is the most updated picture of the kitchen before the counter tops.
Your kitchen looks really nice! What/how did you paint your cabinets? I would like to paint mine and I like the color of yours.

Hello Lori! Paint does a world of difference. We bought a hand sander and sanded all the cabinets and doors before we painted them. I would highly recommend using oil based paint for cabinets. It will make the cabinets look better and it will not chip. (I learned this from the paint guy at Sherwin Williams) Be prepared to do several coats because the wood soaks it in. I believe we did about three to four coats. The paint color that I used for the cabinets were Swiss Coffee by Sherwin Williams. If you have anymore questions, please let me know!
DeleteAh-- love light/white cabinets. The room looks so much bigger. Did you remove the doors and hinges to paint? Caitlin (www.The-Room-Mom.com)
ReplyDeleteI love the white cabinets too. We did remove the doors and hinges to paint. We bought new hinges because we didn't like the color of the old ones. We do have more updates on the kitchen on my recent post here
