I have painted an entire cheap laminate dresser with chalk paint and used no primer - we used it for several years and never had any peeling. This is why I love chalk paint so much!!
I have watched several videos on painting cabinets with chalk paint. This by far was the most informative and gave amazing tips. The spray bottle is genius, and how to store paint in jars and brush in zip lock bag wonderful.
Geeze I'm so happy you came up on my grid. We just brought home with 3 bathrooms the still standing since 1974 and since we do not have the funds to redo the bathroom washing this video gave me hope. I plan to follow your directive and I'm sure it'll come out just as beautiful. I'm so thanking your video fell in my lap and thanks much for all your excellent input on working on a budget.
@@Tunenine Thanks! I'm considering it for a bathroom cabinet, and if that works, then the kitchen cabinets. I'm amazed that it doesn't actually need sanding & priming...can that be true?! I'm glad that you could paint your bathrooms & make your home look the way you'd envisioned it! Congrats on the new house!
Thanks for all your tips! Getting ready to do my guest bathroom cabinet and wanted to watch some tutorials before I started! Just started using chalk paint and I’m loving it!
I love how this turned out. I am repainting night stands that I pained a couple years ago and changing the look a bit. Filling the drawer hardware holes and changing those out. I now have gray in my bedroom. I love the new Chicago Gray but I do have an entire quart unopened of French Linen. I think I will just use that because I have it. I hope it truly is Gray enough. I think it will be. I used to use French Linen a lot several years ago when I had an antique booth that I painted lot of items and put into the booth, but I not have anything that I kept to compare it. LoL I just recently found your channel and decided to start painting furniture again. You have inspired me.
Super helpful. I am planning on painting our builder grade maple cabinet in our half bath in this color before moving on to our kitchen. I just love this color.
You did a FANTASTIC JOB!!!...One that is MUCH, MUCH BETTER than the one I just watched on someone else's channel where the EXACT same project was done. Her job was NOT THOROUGH! As an aside...Girl!!! ALWAYS remove ALL anchor hardware prior to proceeding with your surface prep, with the toilet paper anchor pieces being your case! 👍
That bathroom looks identical to my hallway bathroom. I've been wanting to paint that vanity so bad. Now I will definitely do it, yours looks great. Thanks
Great video! This is a new realm for me. We just installed new tile so needlessly to say, our cabinets need a major upgrade. This video made it less intimidating for me. Thank you!
Mine are the same color but raised panels. Bathroom cabinets and THEN kitchen cabinets will be a winter project! Assuming of course that my beginner projects turn out ok!
Christina, I ❤️ your tutorials. Your great!! Your bathroom cabinet looks amazing, I can’t wait to paint mine. Oh and your banister. Is gorgeous OMG. A little hard work goes along way. You probably saved $2,700 - $3,500 Easy. I started painting with Annie Sloan paint about 6 years ago. Just small stuff. The reason I stopped painting and didn’t do all the big projects I intended was because I hate the wax. It never looked good in my opinion. It was frustrating because I took classes, talked to people about using wax. They all said it was the best, I was told many times never to use any kind of top coat.. well one day I did I used a top coat and I loved it. Then a couple years ago they come out with General Finishes, now suddenly it’s ok to use a top coat!! I’m just happy that I’m not the only one who prefers top coat over wax. Thanks for all the good tips, information, and taking the time to make the tutorials. I think your great, love your style. Can’t wait to see what’s next!! 😁
I like them both, but the wax can be tricky for some people. I’m sure Annie herself would gag at using anything but wax. But like I say, painting is subjective. 😉
Thank you so much for the detailed tutorial! The specific instructions on removal of the oak panels above the cabinet doors was great. Loved your tips re: the primer, particularly the comparable product suggestion, if you don't have the one used in the video. I didn't realize the GF Topcoat can be used on top of ASCP! This was very helpful! Thanks, Christina!
I. Did it I did it. And it looks amazing. Like a brand new table super easy. Thank you for. Making me feel confident enough to try it. Saved me so much money redoing living room and took my brown table and made them blk super cute. Thanks again
You're really good with tutorials. After viewing many yours are most helpful. After purchasing three special brushes..I ended up during my used Purdy angled brush like yours. Lol thank you again
Wow! Thank you for the simple instructions 😊 This is a great inexpensive upgrade.I think I’m going to try this out in the second bathroom first. Thanks again!
I'm so glad I found you and this tutorial! We live in a modular home and have those same cabinets. I had no idea how to handle painting them with those mixed materials. Thank you so much!
Love your videos! So precise and clear with your step-by-step instructions, along with explanation of techniques used! Can't wait to start painting something!🏝🌸
WOW, I just found you !! I watched another one of your videos ( the end table the gel stain on top & the chalk on the bottom) .. I subscribed and gave a thumbs up to both this one and the first one I viewed. You’re a great teacher with clear and thorough instructions! Both your end table and the bathroom vanity turned out awesome!!! Can’t wait to watch more of your channel! I’d love to tackle and old bedroom set ( that belonged to our son growing up) and is now in a guest bedroom. When I do it, I’ll send you a before & after photo! Thanks for the inspiration!!!
I just finished my bathroom with chalky paint. I had the same oak doors with laminate sides. Chalky paint is very forgiving! This was my first time using this type of paint, and I can’t say enough good things about it! Keep in mind that there are other brands out there. I also used the cheap black sponge brushes without any problems. I wrapped the brushes in my gloves when I needed a break and they worked out great! ( also, they kept well over night!).
I've never been able to use that painter's tape drop cloth without it sticking to the wrong end of the plastic and making a mess. Glad it works for you.
That happens to me sometimes. I've just learned you can't roll out a big section. Just do little bits at a time. There is also a dispenser you can put it in that would prevent that. The point is to make it easier, so if it's giving you trouble you are right to just scrap it.😉
Turned out beautifully!! I think we have the same bathroom! My husband loves the oak but I like to have a little more ump to my decor so I am going to definitely try this! Thank you for the detailed tutorial !
My husband likes the oak and original wood finishes in our "1980's" house but I'm painting things to look more modern updated. Original is so dark and dreary, I think.
Hi Christina! Looks like this cabinet was painted a little over a year ago! I was wondering if you could do an update video on how the paint has held up.
Thank you for the tips! I just did my first chalk paint project on an old buffet. I wish I knew about spraying water as you go. That will help on my next project, though 😊
Just a hint: remove all doors and hardware first. It makes it easier and quicker! Love your vids! Also when painting in areas where there is very little room either use a roller or cut your paint brush handle down to a more usable size for for tight spaces!
Thank you!!! I was especially interested to see how the laminate side would turn out. It looks fantastic! The entire cabinet looks like a brand new cabinet and I personally wouldn’t replace it at all! It’s actually stunning in that color. I’m wondering how the laminate side is holding up with having been painted? My house is old and we can’t afford to replace our kitchen cabinets which are laminate. I’m thinking that we could paint them as you demonstrated. Again thank you so much for sharing/teaching us how to do this. Love your channel!!!
Your videos are great I really enjoy your step-by-step instructions. I painted my kitchen cabinets with a general finishes gel stain and Applied the general finishes poly acrylic satin topcoat which is non yellowing. I’ve used Annie Sloan on many projects, and I’m going to try the poly acrylic on my next project, I am like you I love the wax and the whole process of waxing but I think this would be fun to try thank you for the inspiration!
First time watching you. You do a GREAT job showing people how to do training videos. The camera shots were helpful. Thanks!!! I am going to try this on the bathroom in the upstairs hallway, what used to be the kids’ bathroom. If I mess it up it won’t matter because we’re probably going to re-do the whole bathroom anyway, lol.
Hello 😇✨ Just found you & subscribed! Thank you so much for making this video! I have the same cabinets. With all the info/details you provided I feel I can actually do this! Much appreciated!! Your daughter is so adorable and the ending clips added made it funny too! Happy to have found you! You’re Fabulous!😊🙏🏼💐✨
Looks fabulous. Interested to see that you painted a laminated part as well. I really want to paint my kitchen cupboards but they are laminated. As long as I prep them properly do you think this will work well? Thanks for sharing.
Finally found who I need to show me what I need to do with good directions and no unecessary babble!! Great job on the cabinets too!!
Honey, I really do appreciate all your step by step process. It really helps a newbie painter like me. Great video.

curious -- did you do it? And how did it come out?
I did, I redid 2 of the bathrooms using Chalk paint and also a bedroom. Whole new different look, I'm quite pleased.
@@Tunenine Thanks! I'm considering it for a bathroom cabinet, and if that works, then the kitchen cabinets. I'm amazed that it doesn't actually need sanding & priming...can that be true?!

GORGEOUS!!!!!! painting is the only way to prolong buying new expensive cabinets

Thank you so much for this tutorial. You just simplified so much on materials, tools, and cost.
Christina, that is a huge transformation! It looks like you have renovated the whole bathroom, not just the cabinet.
who knew one paint colour change could make such a difference! Looks so nice, Christina.
You did a FANTASTIC JOB!!!...One that is MUCH, MUCH BETTER than the one I just watched on someone else's channel where the EXACT same project was done. Her job was NOT THOROUGH!
As an aside...Girl!!! ALWAYS remove ALL anchor hardware prior to proceeding with your surface prep, with the toilet paper anchor pieces being your case! 👍
That made the whole bathroom look different. Great job!!!
Thanks!
Wow those handles made it look super smart
You gave me the confidence to paint my bathroom cabinet! Thanks!
That bathroom looks identical to my hallway bathroom. I've been wanting to paint that vanity so bad. Now I will definitely do it, yours looks great. Thanks
Thanks for taking the time to show us a step by step process.
Have been watching three of your videos and I love each of them. You are straight forward, details when need to be. Your work looks great! Thanks!
So happy to see this today! We are getting a snowstorm so I am going to paint my bathroom cabinet and as a plus it looks just like yours!
Love the baby doll on the floor! Your videos are so real. Thanks for the inspiration!
The baby doll! Gets me every time.
Great video! This is a new realm for me. We just installed new tile so needlessly to say, our cabinets need a major upgrade. This video made it less intimidating for me. Thank you!
I have that same cabinet wood. You’ve inspired me to finally tackle this project. Thanks for the detailed instructions.
Yeah im going to attempt this also verses buying a new cabinet
Mine are the same color but raised panels. Bathroom cabinets and THEN kitchen cabinets will be a winter project! Assuming of course that my beginner projects turn out ok!
THANK YOU!!!! This was unbelievably helpful! Plus, I had NO idea I could remove the faux drawer front panels! That makes it so much easier!
LOVE your videos!!! I have the same bathroom cabinet. I painted the bottom of the sink black and put in a shelf. Left the doors off and added baskets.
I have the same vanity. Hate it. Thought of replacing it. Thanks for giving me a different option. Love your optimism and can do attitude!
Me too!!

I haven't tried chalk paint yet, but is my next thing to try. love the tip on the water to smooth the paint.
I love this! And I like the turquoise shutters behind you

Awesome video. I really need to makeover our bathroom cabinets. This was very helpful.

Love my Purdy brush!
Thank god I found your videos!! Omg everyone is just so confusing!! Keep doing this!!! You do great!!!!!!! Thank you
Wow! Thank you for the simple instructions 😊 This is a great inexpensive upgrade.I think I’m going to try this out in the second bathroom first. Thanks again!
This was a very helpful video. I'm thinking about doing my kitchen cabinets and starting small was such a good idea. Thanks for all the tips.
Loved this video! I used it this weekend on our guest bathroom. It turned out great! Thanks!
So glad!
Chalk paint sticks to laminate really well and you do not need to primer before, just in case others want to skip this step.
you paint nice and easy, i can tell you enjoy it!
I'm so glad I found you and this tutorial! We live in a modular home and have those same cabinets. I had no idea how to handle painting them with those mixed materials. Thank you so much!
Great video! I am going to be doing this to my 1/2 bath. This video is exactly what I needed!
Love your videos! So precise and clear with your step-by-step instructions, along with explanation of techniques used! Can't wait to start painting something!🏝🌸
Great Video!! It will be very helpful to me for my upcoming Kitchen Cabinet project. Thanks so much!

Looks so good. Love the color.
I have a small cabinet in a tiny study that I'm excited to get to. Thanks for your awesome tips.
Good luck!
Thanks so much for your well done, no nonsense video. I'm inspired to try repainting my MDF kitchen drawers.
Very nice video. The end result speaks for itself.
Guess what I'm doing next week.....my bathroom cabinet!! Thank you I love your channel
Yay! Thank you!
So glad I didn’t miss the outtakes 🤣 oh, and the rest of the video was helpful, too 💗
Great RESULTS! I will NOW NOT hesitate to paint my cabinets. Thank you!
So simple and a very nice result. I can handle this 😊
Wow! I am so glad I came across this , I am going to do my bathroom cabinets! Thanks.
That is a beautiful color!!! New home owner here and I really want to paint the down stairs guest bathroom.
Loved your vid. Appreciated all the details on each step. Getting ready to take the plunge and paint my vanity for practice then my kitchen cabinets.
Let me know how it goes! I still haven't painted a kitchen.
Your videos are awesome, and you pack them full of great info. This time I giggled out loud at the baby doll dropped in the hallway!
I know, right?! Didn’t notice that until editing. 😂
I've never been able to use that painter's tape drop cloth without it sticking to the wrong end of the plastic and making a mess. Glad it works for you.
That happens to me sometimes. I've just learned you can't roll out a big section. Just do little bits at a time. There is also a dispenser you can put it in that would prevent that. The point is to make it easier, so if it's giving you trouble you are right to just scrap it.😉
@@ChristinaMuscari a dispenser makes sense. I'm using up the roll by leaving the tape and just unwinding the plastic. Maybe I'll use the tape later :)
Turned out beautifully!! I think we have the same bathroom! My husband loves the oak but I like to have a little more ump to my decor so I am going to definitely try this! Thank you for the detailed tutorial !
My husband likes the oak and original wood finishes in our "1980's" house but I'm painting things to look more modern updated. Original is so dark and dreary, I think.
I was surprised. I didn't anticipate that the chalk paint would flatter the cabinet... but it certainly did. It does look wonderful!
Hi Christina! Looks like this cabinet was painted a little over a year ago! I was wondering if you could do an update video on how the paint has held up.
I would love to, but we moved. 😕
@@ChristinaMuscari lol
it didn't hold up
Thanks for being so detailed about how to do it
You are so welcome!
It looks fabulous!!
Love all your details for a beginner like me
Thank you for the tips! I just did my first chalk paint project on an old buffet. I wish I knew about spraying water as you go. That will help on my next project, though 😊
Hi from France!
I like what you do.⚘
Wonderful tips. How can people give you a thumbs down. You are right on with your techniques.
You are so sweet! Thanks.
Beautiful results!!!I love the gray color and the hardware you added! ♡♡♡
I love the project...I've been thinking of doing mine as well and you just helped me immensely. Love the look.
Great video. Feeling more confident about taking on our rv cabinets.
Love your videos. Very thorough and detailed, but straight to the point. Thank you!
Great help ideas. My project is about to begin. Ty!
Now this girl knows how to paint. Exactly how it's done prep wise. Good job.
Hove 131 how the fk do you know this person identifies as a girl. Do you assume because if the DSL
Just a hint: remove all doors and hardware first. It makes it easier and quicker! Love your vids! Also when painting in areas where there is very little room either use a roller or cut your paint brush handle down to a more usable size for for tight spaces!

Great job Christina, I’d like to try this in one of my bathrooms!
Great job explaining and showing the result. Subbed!
Good job! I like the color and I like your teaching style.

Thanks for sharing.
Very thorough tutorial
i am inspired! love your presentation style!
Beautiful, nice job.
I like the before better. It looked like pretty nice wood in great condition.
It was actually in terrible shape. It would have looked good stained or recoated with a poly as well.😊 I just like paint.
Love this video. Love the little baby doll at 5:25 😂
I am a new subscriber. Thanks so much for the introduction, to painting. You do amazing work!
