I'm making a little headway on my cabinet project! If you have just started following my blog you can find out more about my cabinet project here, here and here!
I have started the painting process on the cabinets as you can see in this pic...
I started out by using this...
I wanted something that would block stains too and this stuff has worked great!
After THREE coats of torture because I hate to use primer,
I have started painting with this...
It's a latex, semi-gloss, bright white paint....seems to be doing the job.
(and it's environmentally friendly with zero VOC's..good for my nose too....no smell!)
Here is what I have painted so far!
Actually a little more than this...I have that other set already primed too. :)
This is a tiring, tedious job, but it's gonna be worth it in the end! (I hope!)
I know many of you are ready for me to get finished with these, but it takes a lot of time and I've also been gone for a few days so that kinda hindered my progress.
I promise I will be showing you more soon....
as soon as my arm stops throbbing from all this painting! LOL
:-)
I can't WAIT to show you where I'm putting them and what I'm gonna be putting on them! I'm SO excited!
hee hee hee!

This is indeed a HUGE job. But it looks like it is going to be fabulous! I can't wait to see the end result.
ReplyDeleteI did get your email and will respond shortly.
Thank you so very much for your kind words and support.
May your open door only reveal beautiful things.
What a huge job! I would be so intimidated by redoing a piece of furniture that large. I know it's going to be beautiful and I can't wait to see the finished cabinet.

They're looking good Missy. I hate painting furniture. I'll paint walls any old time. I guess that's why I'm lagging in getting my own cabinet doors painted. :) Loved your patio post too. Mine is all tore up at the moment waiting for grass to come in... so was nice to enjoy yours. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteWas my guess even close?? Dying to see it!!
ReplyDeletethat is so much work! i hate prep work too, but as you know its all worth it in the end :)

ReplyDeleteYou my dear friend have boundless energy and creativity! I can't wait to see these completed!
ReplyDeleteTake your time, we're in no hurry! I kind of get in a zone when I paint huge jobs! Can't wait!

They're looking great. I soooo hate painting furniture, but it's so worth it in the end. Don't push yourself. We're not going anywhere. lol.
ReplyDeleteMissy,
ReplyDeleteWe just scored a commercial sprayer from a professional painter on Craigs List. If only we lived closer! It's going to look great (all your finished projects do!)
Your Friend,
