I used my "Cabinet Transformations" today. I finished the cabinets in my bathroom, except for the last step. They just need the protectant on them tomorrow and TA-DA!
**A huge "THANK YOU" to my sister-in-law Amy!! She came and spent the day helping me do my cabinets. And then offered to watch Ian this afternoon and tonight, so I could keep working.**
THANK YOU AMY!
To start you have to wash, use a deglosser, and paint the cupboards.
The paint needs to dry and then you paint it again.
After 2 coats of the "paint" use the deglazer. I was super stressed out about this! Probably didn't help that I had already been working on cupboards and painting for 10 hours....ugh. I think the color looks pretty good. Had one weird spot on one of my long doors...I got it to blend though, so we're ok!!
To avoid the issue I had on my cabinet door, I did the side of my cabinet in rows (instead of doing the top half and then the bottom half). This seemed to work much better with how much working time I had with the deglazer before it dried. This looks more "streaky" in the picture than it does when you look at it.
I can't wait to get the top coat on and get the doors and drawers back in! I was hoping to get my painting done today too but only got the ceiling painted. Which I think was an accomplishment for how long the cabinets took!
DISGUSTING!!
The vent cleaned up with just water (will get washed, with soap, when I can get to my sink!). I vacuumed out the vent and light area. I will be spray painting the vent cover as soon as I get the paint.
Doesn't it look so much better??
I painted the ceiling a really light gray...what do we think of gray ceilings? Or colored ceilings in general?
Looking great!! Glad Amy helped you out.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing it all completed! Hopefully I can get over there to help some too!
Wow that turned out great!! Such a great transformation!! I can't wait to do my bathrooms, but I think i am waiting until fall after the boys start school... I'll need something to keep my mind off of that!! Great job!!
ReplyDeleteIt is something you want to do when you have a couple days when you don't mind not being able to use your house!! My kitchen was WAY to full of flammable materials to even be able to cook!!
