During Spring Break, instead of playing or vacationing, we worked hard and refinished our kitchen cabinets. I must say, our end results are near perfect! Going into it, you need to know this - we spent 3 full days of prepping (don't skim on this), 1 day of painting with a rented sprayer (MUST), and 1 day of putting everything back. We used this awesome waterborne paint to paint the cabinets and didn't need a polyurethane coat - more on that later. We have a large kitchen and we spent just over $300 for everything. Let's get started.



Remove all doors and drawers. Remove hinges and number all parts so you can easily put everything back where it was.









Make a spraying center in garage and put all doors and drawers in there.

We put screws in the hinge areas of each door so we could spray one side of the door with paint and flip it over so the doors rest on the screws while we spray the other side.



 As you can see, we rented a paint sprayer from our local paint and glass store, and we used Glidden Professional Primer along with Benjamin Moore Advance Waterborne paint in Satin. I can't rave about this paint enough! We hardly dealt with any fumes, it was fast drying, and seems to dry really hard, and it looks flawless when used with a sprayer. We did 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of paint.


Begin spraying. Flip the doors over and spray the sides and fronts.





 When everything is dry, remove the tape and put everything back. Ta Da!!! A fabulous new kitchen for just about $300. It was so worth it!
