Today Im going to show you how I painted my kitchen cabinets white during my kitchen makeover. It doesnt cost a lot of money and makes a HUGE difference! I LOVE how they turned out!
So happy our kitchen is FINALLY done! YAY!! We knew moving into our house that we were going to get a nice tax refund, so we decided to put some in savings, and some into our house. The kitchen is where a lot of it went, and I cant think of a better place Id want it to go! :) Its pretty much complete, and the only thing that is missing is a light to hang over my sink. I just cant find one I like. It is so nice to have my house back to normal, and we are really enjoying our new kitchen. These pics arent the greatest.. but one day Ill have a nice camera. :)
Wahoo our kitchen makeover is finally finished! In this post I am going to show you how to paint kitchen cabinets white.
So first things firstwe took off the cabinet doors, and then emptied all of our cabinets and put everything in our room. Yikesthat was a big fat mess!
Sanded all the boards then cleaned them of course.
All the molding and bead board is up!
I really love the bead board! It makes such a difference! Especially for only 40 bucks!
So here she is all done and WHITE! Shes just missing something
Oh yes the hardware! I love the black hardware!
ANDthe black granite. We actually ended up spending ALOT less on our kitchen then we thought and decided to go for it. We found a really cheap guy on craiglist, that I was a little nervous about, but Im sooo happy with the way it looks. They did a really good job!! It pays to get a lot of differnent bids.
I also loooove the under mount sink. Its so nice to just wipe things straight into the sink. You can find great deals on sinks and hardware on ebay FYI.
Here is my hot hubby playing Mr. Plumber. He thinks he can figure everything out on his ownand he usually can. Im glad I have a handy husband, even if that means getting a few broken things, while hes figuring it out. ;)
Cooking in my new kitchen!
Heres a close up on the bead board and trim.
So after 4 long days she is beautiful! I cant say Id want to do it again, but it is definitely SOOOO worth it!
I will be participating in some of these link parties
*edited to add* I had a few questions so Ill add them onto this post for future reference.
- Paint breakdown 1 gallon of paint-$20 , primer- $8
- bead board and molding- around $100
- hardware- $40(found on ebay)
- paint sprayer $55
- caulking glue $15
total cost to paint, add molding and hardware= around $250 .NOT bad!!
-I used a ultra pure white latex paint buy the PREMIUM brand. I like when it has the paint and primer in one.
