    I am blown away about some of the comments here. People are insanely rude. I'm a new follower and loved it. I'm tired of boring, lifeless, 'to the point' videos where the content actually stinks. You were funny and knowledgeable. How can anyone say anything negative to that? 😱

    One thing I like about your video is that you make it simple. I’ve watched a few cabinet painting videos and they are like 500 steps sanding doors, take doors off, spray guns, pour fillers, more sanding, taping, coat after coat, on and on. I’m thinking after all that work it would be better to just go buy new cabinets. But you made it pretty simple so thanks!

    Yesss!!! Finally a video with dancing and painting : ) Just kidding I appreciate the fact that you painted the cabinets without removing them. I'm all for painting but the entire process of removing, painting , and reinstalling is just to much work for me. My life is to busy for all that, so thank you for sharing this amazing hack!

  • @justindeterville9677
    @justindeterville9677 5 ปีที่แล้ว +21

    Just a couple suggestions. Use naphtha to clean off any grease/oils, useing a (red) scotch brite pad and paper towel. Then sand with 320 sandpaper. If you're going over existing paint/finish use BIN PRIMER (shellac primer) let dry for about a day then sand/vaccum before painting.
    Now you can use paint, and it can look great. However even paint that claims its durable isnt going to hold up in the long run. Cabinets are high use/touch spots. Chips and scratches will start showing up sooner or later.
    Not to mention if you dont do a good job cleaning and sand/vacuum between coats you risk and uneven and dirty finish risking the paint failing.
    The alternative to paint is not the most diy friendly but its infinitely better than paint. The alternative is tinted conversion varnish, you can get it at places like Sherman Williams and in any color you want.
    Now this method requires a little investment, as although it's not "meant" to be brushed its can be brushed on panels and face frames Using a mini roller and 2in brush on the panels (ROLL FIRST THEN USE THE BRUSH TO REMOVE THE TEXTURE FROM THE PANEL) Then use the 2in brush to paint the face frames. It has an incredibly short working time (less than 5 min once applied). This might make it a little harder to apply but so much easier to work around imo.
    For the doors I would definitely remove them and spray them with the conversion varnish.
    Now okay I know this is a lot. Probably more than you feel comfortable with, I wont lie and say its super easy but having seen the results of both systems I encourage people to put in the extra time/investment/research and go with conversion varnish. This way your kitchen will look incredible until well after the color you chose has gone out of fashion.
    Source; its what I do for a living.

    Thank you my love! My husband and I built a house two years ago here in southern Illinois. Nothing but cornfields. When we got our kitchen cabinets, I didn’t want to paint them at that time, because we’ve been building for 3 years and I painted the entire two story house, and well, we were tired. I wanted to wait and now is the time. I’m doing a light gray for the main cabinets and I am painting my island a calming blue. I am excited! Thank you for all these tips. We have the same cabinetry. So beautiful. Great video!!

    I have also painted another dresser with it, colored "Raspberry Sorbet" with beautiful results. (it did take 3 coats) I have recommended This paint to everyone wanting to paint furniture or cabinets. We will be using it on our Kitchen and bathroom Cabinets very soon.

    I LOVE Green Frog tape!! I buy the 1.8 in width. I have taped every trim around windows, doors front and back, base trim near floors. That's a lot of tape, but well worth it. I'm finally down to last trim in kitchen. House is 2300 sf. I first painted ALL walls inside then worked on trim. Fortunately we were removing carpet upstairs and had wood floors downstairs which I removed all 1/4 round and replaced with new. New vinyl plank flooring upstairs in 2 baths and laundry and new base trim and 1/4 rounds in those rooms. I'll be repainting cabinets in those rooms and replacing countertops, all this I'm doing as a stay at home mom, so ladies, know that it can be done. I've saved thousands of $$ in labor costs. Started in october, most done by Feb. Took a break, now finishing up. Take your time with the frog tape and you will get great results. I really like Benjamin Moore paint, and can't wait to try the new alkoid for cabinets.

    We are in the middle of painting wood cabinets, we decided to clean, sand, primer, paint. One tip for primer make sure you get enough or do a second coat if needed, its much easier to work with versus the paint. We are also using the Benjamin Moore Advanced primer and satin paint as you did. It's working well so far, about 3-4 days left of doing ours. We are going from a medium darkness wood to white so the primer is very important.

    I've been wanting to paint my tiny kitchen's cabinets for many years now but have always been put off by the amount of work involved, including the notion that you absolutely must take off the doors to do a proper job, which now I know is not necessary after seeing this video. I love how accessible you've made this task! I can't wait to tackle this in my own home. Great job, thank you.

    This was the easiest video to follow. Incredibly informational. I feel confident in trying to paint my cabinets. I do have a QUESTION: Your deglosser, it looked quiet wet when you were cleaning off the cabinets. How do you make sure its all off before you start painting? Wet towel & then pass a clean one over it?

    • @ACottageGirl
      @ACottageGirl  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Glad to help! As far as the deglosser…you wipe it on and let it dry. You can start in with the primer as soon as it’s completely dry.

Or do I just start with the degreaser/deglosser? So excited to maybe finally do this!!!

      Charles Moore I only sand if surface is very uneven or previous paint/finish is chipping.

    • @mybestideas1
      @mybestideas1 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      You should sand - or redo the cabinets within a few months as chipping will be very evident. (they say no sanding but this is not really true)

    • @ACottageGirl
      @ACottageGirl  5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      mybestideas1 I’ve painted many kitchens with this method and most never chip. Some do, yes, but other methods I’ve used including sanding have also chipped. Never much tho, and I yearly touch up with a q-tip when needed. That bit of touch up is worth not having to do a full sand.

    Thank you for the information advanced Benjamin Moore. I’ve been thinking about painting my cabinets for a couple of years and I do not want to use chalk paint. Well at the very least I’m on the fence about it. Do you ever use any kind of topcoat? I’m assuming you do not have to stand in between your paint coats because the paint is self-leveling. Do you always prime first even if you use a deglosser? Also what do you recommend for cleaning your cabinets with if you do use this paint?
