In my last house, I had the opportunity to paint my kitchen cabinets white. I even shared a tutorial on the best way to do it. And let me tell you, that tutorial still stands true! But, since then, I’ve discovered a much easier method that I absolutely love and I can’t wait to share it with all my friends today.
Now, in our new old house, we have the original cabinets from 1979. They were made of beautiful solid wood, but they just weren’t my style. I adore how the kitchen functions, but the orangey oak color of the cabinets just didn’t do it for me. They needed a little update, but I wanted to find a simpler way, without compromising on quality or durability.
And guess what? I found the secret: DecoArt Satin Enamels! These paints are specially formulated for painting wood furniture and cabinets. The best part? You can skip the tedious sanding and most of the prep work. How amazing is that?!
So here’s how it works. First, gather all your supplies: DecoArt Satin Enamels paint, a paintbrush, a small roller, and a clean, lint-free cloth. Then, remove all the cabinet doors and hardware. It’s important to work in a well-ventilated area, so open up those windows or use a fan to keep the air flowing.
Start by giving the cabinets a thorough cleaning with a mild detergent and warm water. Wipe away any grease or dirt and let them dry completely. Now, this is where the magic happens – you don’t need to sand or prime the cabinets! Simply start painting with the DecoArt Satin Enamels paint. It has excellent coverage and dries to a smooth, durable finish.
Use a paintbrush to reach the nooks and crannies, and a small roller for the larger surfaces. Remember to apply thin, even coats and let each coat dry completely before adding another layer. This will ensure a professional-looking finish that will last for years to come.
Once you’ve finished painting the cabinets, let them cure for a few days to allow the paint to fully harden. Then, reattach the doors and hardware. You’ll be amazed at the transformation – it’s like having a brand new kitchen!
I cannot tell you how thrilled I am with this easier method of painting kitchen cabinets. It saved me so much time and effort, while still achieving the high-quality results I was looking for. Now, I want to share this secret with all of you.
So go ahead, give it a try! Say goodbye to the old, outdated cabinets and hello to a fresh and modern kitchen. Your friends and family will be impressed with your DIY skills, and you’ll be proud of the beautiful space you’ve created.
