They're so pretty and relaxing. :)<br /><br />We repainted our kitchen cabinets before we moved into our house. They were this awful 70's, orange color. The hardware was really pretty though. Kinda old farmhouse like. So we kept all of it, and painted the cabinets white.You are right, it is VERY labor intensive. But well worth it. :D<br /><br />And I would say paint the cabinet white. I have thing for white cabinets. :DAngelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03346909897634012653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7250272323659863098.post-91992149955175872652015-08-24T23:05:34.385-04:002015-08-24T23:05:34.385-04:00I just went and read your posts and your kitchen t...I just went and read your posts and your kitchen turned out amazingly! I wish our cabinets had been that easy to paint, but the oak really has a difficult wood to deal with. I also was a little jealous that the insides of your cabinets looked so nice still! The insides of ours were worse than the outsides and we decided to paint those, which ended up taking a ton of our time. I don't regret the decision now, but it would have been nice if it werent necessaryAmy Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00968156329100712501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7250272323659863098.post-17725915541512962342015-08-24T21:39:02.633-04:002015-08-24T21:39:02.633-04:00Wow!

So I believe you on the labor intensive part!

Not a person comes in our home who doesn't comment on how much they love our cabinets. In fact two years ago our friends bought an old house and redid the kitchen and made their cabinets to match ours. And five years later, even in this massive family where the kitchen gets a killer workout every day the cabinets look as good as new.

Our kitchen is more than 40 years old and did not have good bones when we bought our house 13 years ago. I always hated the cabinets and wanted to paint them for years. My hubby kept talking me out of it. Finally, in the middle of a major emotional crisis, I took the plunge because I figured I had nothing to lose. I was shocked by how very easy and inexpensive it was. I am sorry we waited so long to do it and would do it all again in a heart beat. I used a no sand product that you wipe on with a rag. I think our entire project cost about $100 with new hardware, paint and wainscot on the island. <br /><br />I am sending links to our before and after posts. <br /><br />http://www.artschilipepper.com/2010/08/cabinet-makeover.html<br /><br />http://www.artschilipepper.com/2010/09/serendipity.htmlKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214169887240603175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7250272323659863098.post-77360217445355495312015-08-23T12:48:07.399-04:002015-08-23T12:48:07.399-04:00I really enjoyed this post.

After reading how much work was involved with your painting project, we may look into hiring someone to save us the trouble!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06305741709665814205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7250272323659863098.post-80372652231650378732015-08-23T12:46:13.417-04:002015-08-23T12:46:13.417-04:00Have you tried gently scraping/rubbing the spot of...Have you tried gently scraping/rubbing the spot of paint off with a wet paper towel and your fingernail?
