Kitchen Cabinet Makeover BEFORE!

Hello my BEAUTIES!

I have been working on my kitchen cabinet makeover for a while.

Today I am going to show you the Before.

The above picture was the last time I redid my cabinets.

It was way back in 2012...:)

You can see that post HERE.

It was even PRE my Farmhouse Table...

THAT is how long ago it was. 

Now I LOVED my kitchen cupboards but it was time for a change.

I had used a mineral paint and used a sealer but they were starting to show some wear and tear.

My kids love to cook, and I LOVE it when they do,

but they are messy and were a little hard on the mineral paint on 

the cupboards.

That meant it was time for a change.

Now as you I am sure have guessed, I have done this MANY, MANY times.

The normal way to do this is to take off the cupboards paint them and put them back up...

BUT I AIN'T GOT TIME FOR THAT!  

(just keeping it real here folks)

Sometimes in the DIY world you gotta do what you gotta do.

With our busy schedule I worked out a way to paint them WITHOUT taking them down.

Here you can see me trying to decide what the exact color was that  I wanted to go with.

I removed the hardware, Lightly sanded down the cupboards and wiped them all clean.

I was mixing paint and seeing how it looked DRY before I went full Throttle 

and painted them all.

 After seeing how seeing how it looked this is what I finally chose.

I went with General Finishes

Queenstown Gray and 

their Satin High Performance finish.

I can't WAIT to show you the AFTER.

The makeover has been done almost a month now and I LOVE it.

I wanted to make sure it could stand the test of my CHILDREN 

before I showed it to you.

I can tell you it HAS.

So be sure to come back next week for the REVEAL of the finished Kitchen Cupboard Makeover.

Until then,

Go Make Someones Day BEAUTIFUL.
