Kitchen Refresh

I’m into my third week of not working and self-isolating now and it’s amazing all the free time I have during the day! I can’t believe how fast the days go by-although I was in the shower Wednesday morning and genuinely couldn’t remember what day it was!!

One of the things I did this week was a little kitchen refresh by giving the kitchen cabinets a fresh coat of white paint. I had only intended on filling in the chips…but I realized that my cabinets were looking a little dull.

sherwin williams paint

This is the paint that I use on my cabinets. It’s a urethane enamel that is very strong and durable to use on cabinets. It’s a pre-mixed paint that is available at your Sherwin Williams store (shade is Extra White).
step 1

I wiped down all the cabinets to get rid of any dirt and grease first; it’s really important to make sure your cabinets are free of dust and grease so your paint goes on smoothly. I also removed all the door pulls..all 31 of them (my hands were so sore from unscrewing them!!).

step 2

I first went around and filled in any chips or scratches with a small artist paint brush. After the paint had dried I started giving all the cabinets a fresh coat of bright white paint.

I love these small silicone handled brushes from Lowe’s; they are so much more comfortable to use than a long handled brush and you can really cut in small spaces sooo much easier too!

I love this paint brush. This one is made to reduce brush marks.

I can totally understand why painters charge so much to do cabinets! Just going over my cabinets with a quick coat of paint took a couple of days to finish. My small kitchen actually has 31 drawers or cabinet doors.

step 3

I’ve been waiting for an excuse to change out my hardware so this was a perfect time to make the switch. Amazon is my favorite resource for finding cabinet knobs and pulls. I don’t think you can beat their prices when you need a bunch for a project.

I chose simple, modern matte black cabinet pulls.

Finished Cabinets

Here’s the finished cabinets at my coffee bar area. The entire space just looks so much brighter now! I will never get tired of the magic in paint.

You can see how I did the back splash here. It’s been one of my most popular posts here and over on my Hometalk page.

Take Care Friends!
