![]() Finally, the painting project was upon us. Then some cabinets came in, others came down, and eventually new counters made their way to us. ![]() Then we rearranged our cabinets a bit, got new appliances and, oh yeah, got a big beautiful hole busted in the wall. First we painted the paneling, the fireplace, and the beams. We’ve been slowly working up to this sucker for a while now. Our big cabinet-painting victory hardly happened overnight. Plus no weird cabinet knob-eyes are looking over my shoulder anymore. Now when I stand at the sink or pantry, I literally feel like I could perform a small musical number (with a minimum of six Glee backup dancers). I can’t explain it, but it was like the room didn’t respect my personal space and was always inching towards me. The cabinets felt about two feet away from you on all sides. Scroll back up and picture yourself standing next to the fridge in the “before” shot. Seriously, it doesn’t even feel like the same room. ![]() So here’s how we did it from soup to nuts. The day that we get to wake up and pad into a kitchen that used to look like this… (Rolls up sleeves, looks into the mirror, smiles, fixes weird fly aways, and whispers “let’s do this.”) We’ve outlined each of the steps below, including a video recap of all of the steps that we used to updated our wood kitchen cabinets. It doesn’t cost much and with the proper preparation, it’ll look great and last long. Painting your kitchen cabinets is a perfect way to give a dated kitchen a fresh look, without splurging on a big overhaul.
