Many of you have asked about the color and products used for my kitchen cabinets that I just revealed last week. Thank you so much for the sweet comments about this project. I am so glad of the outcome.These are the products I used. Chateau Grey Annie Sloan chalk paint, Annie Sloan Lacquer, and Valspar Translucent Color Glaze in Mocha.Here is how the island looked before. I loved the black for years, but they were getting quite worn so it was time to update them.I found this old photo that shows how the top of the cabinet door above the handle was showing white. That is not the look I was going for with these black cabinets. The whole top of the door was white by the time I got this project started. This door has the trash can behind it so it is the most used.I decided to use chalk paint to cut the time since there is no sanding or priming required since I really like for projects not to drag on because I am very impatient.I started on the bar stool side and before I knew it I was on this side. I removed all the drawers and set them on the table and counter. I decided I could paint the doors with them on. Thank goodness there were only four doors.It did take three coats of the chalk paint to cover the black, but chalk paint dries quickly so I didn't have to wait hours to start the next coat.I decided I didn't really want to tackle waxing and buffing all the cabinets and base so I found the Annie Sloan Lacquer and decided to try it out. It was developed to use on painted floors and surfaces that are heavily used. Well, cabinets certainly fall into the heavily used category. The lacquer gives a nice matte shine.After brushing one coat of lacquer on and after it dried I could add the glaze. The lacquer also dries very fast. It has an odor, but it not overpowering and Mr. Savvy did not even notice it when he came home.
You do want to brush the lacquer on thinly or you will have white spots where it dries if it is on too thick. I had to learn that the hard way and started putting it on thin. You want two thin coats and not one thick one.I decided to do one coat of lacquer then the glaze and then the last coat of lacquer so the glaze was protected, too. I brushed the Valspar glaze in mocha on and then took a slightly damp cotton cloth and wiped most of it back off just leaving the glaze in the grooves and a hint of color on the other.Here you can see the door on the left before the glaze and the right one is after. This is during the process.After wiping the glaze off I would stand back and look and take off more if needed. I did not want my cabinets to look dirty. If you don't take almost all the glaze back of the large flat surfaces it can look dirty.
Cost:
1 can of Chateau Grey Annie Sloan Chalk Paint: $35 (did not use a whole can)
Annie Sloan Lacquer: $54 (only used half)
Valspar Translucent Glaze in Mocha: $15 (used very little)
Cost to have them professionally painted: approximately $2000.00 (paid $4500.00 for all cabinets years ago)
Saved: $1896.00
