I’m happy to read this post about painting cabinets: I’m gearing up to do the same. Ours our lighter than yours, but will require as much effort and energy. I’m just worried about taking the leap because once you paint them, you can’t go back. Yours look fab and way better than the dark ones–I’m just worried to try! Also, our kitchen is part of the giant rectangle that’s our downstairs. Each room is connected to the next, so I need to figure out how it’ll jibe with the entire space. Eesh! It’s overwhelming to consider.

Hey Stephanie! We used corner trim on that area, and where it meets the counters, we just left it, without trim. I hope that helps! ;}

We have a window much like yours. How did you do the bead board around the window? Did you use some sort of corner trim? Also, did you trim out the bb where it meets the countertop? Thanks so much for the lovely inspiration! Best wishes! -Stephanie

Hey Christine! Wow! You are super mom!!! ;} I tell you what… that’s a hard call to make from here on your cabinets. I always try to skip the sanding whenever possible. You may want to try {in a not-so-obvious-area} a test run. Maybe with the killz primer and then the layers of paint and give it time to sit for 30 days. Then see how “durable” it seems. If it peels then you know you probably need to sand first. I know that’s a lot of work! Also, once you paint something, I think it’s normal to always need to do touch up painting like once a year. It’s time for us to go back and touch up a few places… with three kids (+ all of yours will be the same) it’s inevitable. ;} I hope that helps!

Wow….I can’t stop looking at your talent. I feel so very inspired! My house has never been any kind of “eye candy”. However, it’s filled with lots of joy and laughter. I have spent the last 16 years having children and homeschooling them. Seven children. I’m finally at a point where the baby is about to be 4 years old and I want to start some home projects. My kitchen is HUGE and very very outdated. My cabinets are very glossy. My guess is the old owners put an extra coat on them when they put the house up for sale to make them in “better condition”. So can I just put a primer on these or do I need to sand them. I have a LOT of them. Sigh….. I want so badly to have a pretty kitchen that feels like a HAPPY HAVEN for our large family!

Hey Brooke! The insides of our cabinets are made of melamine. Or wood veneer. One or the other, because we aren’t sure, but we definitely painted them and the two coats of primer beaded up until the third one and it freaked me out. But by the time I got my second coat of paint {after three coats of primer} it stopped, and took well. We’ve had a few little issues, but if you pad the bottoms of the cabinets and don’t claw at them with your fingers or anything, they hold up wonderfully. ;} Just like any house, I’m sure there is dust, but I haven’t really noticed it. If there’s a plate higher up that we haven’t used for a while, I always just rinse it off. But I would do that any way with closed cabinets. It just isn’t really an issue. I hope that helps!

I was wondering – do you have any advice about painting the insides of cabinets? I am considering removing some cabinet doors and having open shelving. Were your shelves melamine or wood veneer? I had a cabinet person tell me we couldn’t paint melamine? Also, have you liked the open shelving or would you have gone with glass doors? I’m a little worried about the dust issue. Thanks!
