Kitchen Makeover

So first things first...we took off the cabinet doors, and then emptied all of our cabinets.

After my husband sanded the cupboards I vacuumed all the dust off, and then wiped them down with an all-purpose spray

We put thumb tacks on the backs of the cupboards, so we could flip sides and paint A LOT faster. This way they rested on the thumbtacks instead of the ground. It actually worked out pretty well

First coat of primer. I used kilz 2. I highly suggest buying a spray painter instead of using a brush. It's about 50 bucks, and it looks a whole lot better!

Then sanded all the boards... then cleaned them of course

It may have been a little easier if we had more then just a plain miter box...but we didn't so we made it work

First coat of paint in kitchen...with the brush. Bad mistake.

First things first- get a paint sprayer!! It made my life a whole lot easier! Especially since I did 4 coats of paint total....yes they were pretty thin coats! haha. BTW in between in each coat of paint I lightly sanded (300 grit) each layer and then wiped it all down again.

 Bead board and baseboard added around the island
