This project took TIME and PATIENCE. It took me about a total of 4 months to complete it. I did lots of prior research and paint testing about the products and process I should use to paint my cabinets. You will find tons of posts on Pinterest with titles such as “PAINT YOUR CABINETS WITHOUT SANDING” or “NO PRIMING NEEDED.” But the reality is, if you want a good finish, proper adherence, and longevity, priming and at least some sanding are absolutely crucial. I tested out both chalk and milk paints on my cabinets, and the coverage was not that great since the surfaces were so dark. Using either one of the products would have cost me significantly more in price and not save me much on time.
Everyone has different experiences and opinions, but this is what I have determined and the process that worked for me!
————————————————————-
CABINET PREP WORK
– Lightly sanded on inside of cabinets with sanding sponges
– Cleaned all surfaces with a microfiber cloth and Krud Kutter – this stuff works wonders.

CABINET PRIMING
– Put down 3 coats of Gripper Primer by Glidden using a small foam roller and foam brushes for corners.
– Sanded before top coat with an orbital disk sander, 220 grit – I purchased my sander specifically for this project and I have used it SO MUCH since. I can’t believe I ever lived without it.

————————————————————-
CABINET TOP COAT
– Put down 2 coats of Benjamin Moore Advance in satin finish, untinted. This is the some of the best paint I’ve ever worked with and can’t recommend it enough for painting cabinets.
————————————————————-
CABINET HARDWARE
– Since I was unable to find replacement handles that fit properly, I filled previous holes with wood filler and used pulls instead.
– Amazon is BY FAR the best bang for your buck as far as cabinet hardware goes.
– My original hinges were in terrible shape, but they were a very old style that is discontinued, so I ordered replacement ones from a specialty retailer. They only came in an antiqued brass color, so I spray painted them. The paint adhered well and gave an ok finish, but I have had some scraping and chipping from the friction. I wouldn’t suggest spray painting hinges if you can avoid it.

————————————————————-
WALLS & TRIM
– All walls were patched from bad cracks and damage, then painted.
– All new and old trim work was caulked, primed with Glidden Gripper if new, and given 2-3 coats of Behr’s Premium Plus Ultra Semi Gloss Enamel, untinted.
WALL PAINT COLOR: Wheat Bread by Behr in eggshell finish
————————————————————-
FLOORING
– Previous flooring was a glued on vinyl tile. We chose to tear out before installing new flooring because it was in bad and uneven condition.
– New flooring is a plank vinyl.
– Everything I read about plank vinyl floors is that it can be installed right over a subfloor. In my case, I should have laid down an underlayment (I said subfloor in the video, which is incorrect). I think it would have created a better final result.
– I have mixed feelings about this product. It did not cut easily with a carpet knife, as indicated in the instructions, and it has already scuffed and marked.

Super nice. I’d just paint the countertops to a gray quartz look.
Great work…
Your remodel reminded me of mine. We had an old double oven in an island that leaked gas, so I had to keep the valve closed. When I cleaned it, I’d feel a tingle of electricity. I painted my cabinets as well, but eventually replaced them because of poor configuration. I hated to let them go because they were solid and study. Your improvement is beautiful and I love the colors you chose (probably because they’re similar to mine). Fantastic job!
Like ur video… iam anna from indonesia….
Great job !! It looks a million times better.
You did a great job a low budget. Congratulations. I was looking for a remodel that thousands of dollars weren’t spent. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful!!👏👏👏👏
حبيييت❤
aw you made it look so bland
Well done. Hard work does pay off ❤️👏🏾
That wall color in your kitchen is absolutely beautiful! Wow! <3, I plan on doing the same to my kitchen, I heard alkad type paint is better on wood cabinets vs latex, and is it necessary for you to sand before you prime? Also could you please tell me the exact planks and colored you use for your flooring? I like the looks of it. Great job!
They make scrapers with long handles that would have made that so much easier…
I like it! You should paint your counter tops, there’s so many cool things that can be done!
Awesome makeover, LOVE your ideas!
I JUST shared my KITCHEN MAKEOVER on a tight BUDGET!
We literally saved HUNDREDS by DIYing!! 😀
Linda… perfeita! Parabens!!!
very well done!!!
Great makeover👍
Well done it looks beautiful x
wow!! so cute and look clean and shine 😍I just want to suggest two things you can use white silicone on the edge of your marble and you can use lemon salt with water and brush between tiles useing toothbrush 😍
I have a question on your salt and pepper shakers. Do you have a problem with the little black ring coming off around the grinder part? If you fixed the problem how?
Did she say crudcutter? Whats that?
How did the floors hold up?
I liked it better before
You did a wonderful job! LOOKS GREAT!
Very nice job! I love that you took the time to show how to PROPERLY prep n paint! 👍
Very nice job. Your kitchen layout is exacly like mine. Gives me some vision.

Brown kitchen cabinets always makes a kitchen seem darker than it is. Amazing transformation.

But the before looked better… the white kithen is super dated and bland
Wow big difference once you put the white primer on. Love the old ovens in the wall.
home decor?
Wow what a transformation. Your kitchen looks beautiful. That’s real DIY budget kitchen. Great Job👍 x
Wow!!! Just with a cot of paint it makes a huge difference.
Usually when you install a fit together plank floor a very thin roll out foam is put down first for the floor to sit on
a little late now for future reference you should always have your floor tile tested for asbestos specially when it’s that old
Great job! Thank you about being honest on installing the plank floor! Sometimes, DIY people make it look effortless when in fact, it can be challenging!
I also just madeover our kitchen <3
Although it’s far from perfect – ours is a rental one so there are a lot of things that we are not allowed to change, we’re happy with what we have achieved, especially considering the budget of 400 Euros!

The kitchen is beautiful. What color paint is the cabinets and the wall above the cabinet?
Hermoso todo, pero en los costados de la campana no estaban pintadas los laterales de los muebles, pero hermoso, me encantó
I like everything except the knobs of the cabinets
I just want to say- Thank you for painting the insides of the cabinets too😭
You did a fantastic job. When I sold my one bedroom apartment I painted the inside of my cupboards, recaulked the bathtub, recarpeted the whole place with good quality carpet, repainted the balcony and the entire apartment. Then I rented a storage unit and packed everything I didn’t need for immediate use and staged every inch of that little apartment. My friends told me I was crazy to spend so much time and money, not to mention energy. Well, the place sold in 3 days for $12,000 more than other apartments for sale in the same building. I got a whole lot more back than I put into it. Good for you, Miss Annie A meticulous job always makes sense, and often money.
I think I’d go with a spray gun since there so many angles, coverage and costs. Would just make things a bit easier on the labor.
Great idea for the hanging pot racks. They look nice there.
