I have been dreaming of a white kitchen and I finally did it! My dad and my husband tried to warn me that it was a BIG project but I didn't realize until I was a week into it how hard it was! It took me over a month to finish and a lot of tears but I did it and I am really proud of myself.
First, I started taking off all the cabinet doors and drawers. I labeled every door and cabinet with a piece of tape with a letter on it. I also put the hardware in a ziplock bag and put that same letter on it so I knew which pieces went where.
After I had all the doors and drawers off and labeled, I sanded everything with a sanding block sponge. Then I painted on some primer. When the primer was dry I did three coats of Behr Ultra White paint.
After everything was painted and perfect, I put on polyurethane to add a clear protective coat. I did a layer to the cabinet frames and a couple of days later I noticed that my bright white paint was turning yellow! My HUGE mistake was that I used oil based polyurethane instead of water based. I bawled my eyes out and tried to sand off the yellow from the cabinets. I ended up having to start over in some spots. Thankfully I had only used the polyurethane on the frame and not the doors and
drawers. I finally got off all the polyurethane and fixed up my paint. The whole family was happy when we could finally put our kitchen back together.
I will say that this project is not for the faint hearted. It took a long time to paint, wait for it to dry, sand off drips and mistakes, and paint again. I loved listening to my Pandora station when I painted during naps and bedtimes.
Though it was hard and it tested my sanity, I would totally do it again because I love my new kitchen! It's so much brighter! If you're considering it I would say go for it! But remember it is a HUGE project and will take some time. I watched Lowe's "How to Paint Your Cabinets" video on YouTube to get started. Make sure you get a roller brush and a nice brush bristle brush. It's pretty amazing what paint can do! Yay for my new kitchen!
