My latest project...



The pictures probably speak for themselves. This is our master bathroom and the change in progress is not so much out of a need to redecorate as out of a need to repair the only 4 year old cabinet surfaces that are already chipping-- and actually have been for the past 3 years (@%#!@$&~!!).

This is my first time ever to paint cabinets and so I went to Home Depot armed with paint chips and ready to ask for any and all advice.

The paint counter lady assured me that if I used "XYZ" paint, I would not need to prime it. After the first coat, I was doubting the quality of her advice...


Three coats (and 3 days later), there is some significant improvement! I think I may just need one more coat plus a sealing finish.


(You may also notice that I took this opportunity to clean out under our bathroom sinks which were a disaster area!!)

Looks good! Aren't home improvement projects fun :) Love the wheat buckets. They are so useful in many ways!

I still can't believe you had to do 3 coats....that's crazy! When do we get to see 'finished' pics?? :)

I like the chocolate color of the cabinets. I am also eager to see the new paint color on the bathroom walls or is it still a work in progress? I know you will finish before a certain curious two-year-old niece comes to visit on Monday or at least you'll keep the door closed!
