Hey Allie-
I'm scrolling through posts on D&R to catch up on what I've missed and saw your post about your kitchen cabinets...

I think your cabinets would look great painted white.  I used SW's Medici Ivory (PIB) and I absolutely love the end result.  It's a bit of work but its not difficult just tedious.

I removed the hardware then sanded the door panels with a palm sander before cleaning up from the sanding, then primed the fronts and backs, before painting with the final color.  I used foam rollers to paint using SW's Proclassic paint which is their cabinet and trim paint.  It's extremely durable and self-leveling which makes it nice to work with.

I hope this info helps!!

  • hey jen - thanks so much for giving me some info.  i really think my kitchen needs a change.  did you paint the inside of your cabinets?  i was thinking about just leaving the insides go. about how long did it take you to complete your kitchen?  i am sure i will be contacting you a lot when we decide to take the plunge and paint them.
  • Hey Allie-
    No I didn't.  I did paint the inside of the door panels but I left the insides of the cabinets natural.  If I had a paint sprayer or if I was going to use some of the cabinets as open shelving (like on The Lettered Cottage blog) then I would of painted the insides.  I worked on it for a few hours a couple nights after work then I worked most of a Friday and Saturday on it.  I was done in about 4-5 days total and that's with one person doing most of the work.  Just let me know if you have any other questions!!
