Finishing a kitchen in 4 easy steps - #1

Hello all. When we left off the kitchen it was starting to change color and the cabinets were all where we wanted them. In this and the next three posts we'll catch everyone up to a fully functioning kitchen.

During one of our breaks from the Cottage, we were gluttons and decided to bring home all the cabinet doors and drawer fronts to be painted. As you can see below, this was a LOT of pieces. Each one needed the full treatment--sanding, primer coat, sanding, two coats of green, sealer coat, sanding, and final sealer coat.




Then when we brought them back to the Cottage they all needed drawer pulls. After careful measuring and plotting, we found where we needed to drill. Thankfully we have this simple, portable faux-drill press to keep the drill bits from sliding off the desired mark.

The result was worth the effort as they turned out great.


Until next time.

  2. I love that color of green. Or any color of green really. Perfect choice for a beach house. I want to paint some of my kitchen cabinets but am afraid of the work involved. How long did it take you to do all 5(!) coats and sanding? Did you use regular latex?
